Team India eye 2-0 lead as they take on The West Indies in Visakhapatnam
India and The West Indies are set to play each other on Wednesday in the 2nd ODI as the series moves ahead. Team India go into this game as the favourites.
Date and Time : 24th October 2018, 1:30 PM IST
Venue : YS Rajasekhara ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam
Team India won the first ODI pretty comprehensively and will be in a positive frame of mind. The Batsman battled really well although the Bowling took a bit of a pounding.
The Batsman will again be expected to do well in Vizag but the bowlers will be expected to up their game. India will though have to avoid complacency and play their best cricket.
On the other hand, West Indies will be disappointed the way the 2nd half of the match went for them. The Batsman batted really well scoring more than 300 runs.
They will need to quickly improve upon their game to turn things around. It won’t be easy but they will have to give their all and hope for the best.
India are fast catching up with The West Indies in terms of the ODI head to head and will look to continue the progression.

West Indies will likely play the same XI as in the previous game.
