West Indies and India will face each other in the second ODI of the ongoing three-match series at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad on Sunday (July 24).
The visitors are leading the series 1-0 after registering a thrilling victory in the opening match by three runs. The Shikhar Dhawan-led India will look to carry the same momentum and take an unassailable lead of 2-0.
On the other hand, the home team will be focusing on making a comeback in order to keep the series alive.
Pitch report:
The previous contest was a high-scoring affair, with both teams crossing the 300-run mark. The spinners, however, have a good purchase at this venue. Though India defended the total, chasing is considered a safer option in Trinidad.
