West Indies in the second ODI, India batter Shreyas Iyer said that he is hopeful of scoring a century in the next game. Chasing a mammoth 312 to win, half-centuries from Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson and Axar Patel helped India win the second ODI of the three-match series against West Indies by two wickets at the Queens Park Oval stadium in Port of Spain on Sunday. Shreyas scored 63 runs off 71 balls before he got out LBW to Alzarri Joseph. "I was really happy with the score I got today, but really unhappy with the way I was dismissed.
