After losing the first ODI by five wickets, the WI made a amazing comeback in the second game as they registered a comfortable six-wicket win in a one-sided affair. Bowling first, Gudakesh Motie and Romario Shepherd picked up three wickets apiece as the Indian team got bundled for 181 runs in 40.5 overs.
Chasing the modest target, Shai Hope and Keacy Carty led the fightback for the West Indies after an early collapse as they successfully chased down the target with 13.2 overs to spare. Shardul Thakur picked up three wickets for India, but it wasn’t enough as the other bowlers failed to make an impact on the game.
After a disappointing performance in the second game, the senior pair of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are likely to make a comeback in the third and final match of the series.
