Team India eye victory against West Indies in Guwahati ODI
Date and Time : 21st October 2018, 1:30 PM IST
Venue : Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
Team India have had a fantastic Test series against The West Indies as they won comprehensively and clean swept them. Now the focus will shift towards the ODI’s and T20I’s.
India are in good form in the one-dayers as they recently won the Asia Cup concluded in The UAE. But will need to avoid complacency and give due respect to the Windies as they eye another series win.
Batsman and Bowlers will both need to make contributions.
On the other hand, The West Indies will be disappointed with the performances in the Tests but will be hoping of a better showing in the ODI’s.
They know India will be difficult to beat in this format especially at home but should give their all and hope for the best.
West Indies are ahead on the head to head in ODI’s against India but India will look to improve upon the fact.

Jason Holder will captain The West Indies tomorrow in the first ODI. While Chandrapaul Hemraj and Obed McCoy are both available and might play.
