IND vs WI, 2nd ODI, Live Score Updates: West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran has won the toss and opted to bat first against India. The guests eye series win as they face the West Indies in the second ODI at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
Shikhar Dhawan-led Team India will square off against the West Indies in the second ODI of the three-match series on Sunday at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad. In the first ODI, Mohammed Siraj held his nerve in the final over as India registered a narrow 3-run win. Batting first, India had posted 308/7 on the back of quality knocks of Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer. However, West Indies provided a good fight led by opening batter Kyle Mayers and middle-order batter Brandon King. West Indies needs to win the second ODI if they want to keep the series alive.
Stand-in skipper Shikhar Dhawan will again look to make a statement as the Indian team, made up of fringe players, take on the West Indies in the second ODI here on Sunday. Having won the first game by three runs, another victory will give India a successive ODI series win in the Caribbean. Be it Dhawan and comeback man Shubman Gill's aggressive opening stand, or Mohammad Siraj's emergence as the leader of the bowling attack in the absence of the experienced Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah, India ticked all the boxes on Friday to go 1-0 up in the three-match series.
India's top-order comprising Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer was in sublime form and they made the most of below-par West Indies' bowling and all three batters registered half-centuries in the first ODI of the three-match series. However, West Indies were brilliant in the field and skipper Nicholas Pooran came up with a stunning catch to cut short Shreyas Iyer's stint at the crease and the batter walked back after scoring 54.
Shikhar Dhawan made a well crafted 97 while Shubmam Gill made a classy 64 in his ODI comeback before India held their nerves to pull off a three-run win over the West Indies in the series opener here. Openers Dhawan (97 off 99 balls) and Gill (64 off 53) shared an 119-run stand before the West Indies fought back to restrict India to 308 for seven. The West Indies needed 15 off the final over for a record chase at Queens Park Oval but Mohammed Siraj was able to stop a rampaging Romario Shepherd (38 not out off 25).
Right-handed batter Shubman Gill was looking in fine touch and he raced to his fifty in the first ODI against West Indies. The 22-year-old was looking in sublime touch, and the West Indies' bowlers had no answers to stop him. However, Gill's innings came to a premature end after he was found short at the non-striker's end, and Windies skipper Nicholas Pooran made a direct hit, and hence the right-hander had to walk back after scoring 64 runs.
