The games are coming thick and fast for the Indian cricket team. With a narrow 3 runs win in the first game of the series, India will be squaring off against West Indies in the second game of the series. Will this game result in another series victory for Indians or will West Indies have something else in their mind?

West Indies have just completed their bilateral tournaments against Bangladesh. They were good in T20s and Test but struggled a lot in ODIs. Nicholas Pooran will be leading the team in this series and he needs to figure out how to get the best out of his players. West Indies played well in the first game of the series but failed to get over the line. Jason Holder will not be available for this game as well after testing positive for Covid 19. West Indies have to have the finishing touches to get over the line in the second game to level up the series.
West Indies Predicted Lineup
Shai Hope (wk), Brandon King, Shamarh Brooks, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran (c), Rovman Powell, Akeal Hosein, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Jayden Seales
India
India is coming off a successful campaign against England and again stamped their authority by winning the first game of the series. Only one game remains between them and another series victory. Jadeja is out of the tournament due to knee injury and he is replaced by Axar Patel. In the first game India ticked all the boxes and got over the line. Shikhar Dhawan lead from the front as a captain scoring 97 runs but missing out on a century. India will be looking to go pretty much the same way to seal the series.
India Predicted Lineup:
Shikhar Dhawan (c), Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson (wk), Deepak Hooda, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna
Expert betting tips
The pitch will be batter friendly and bowlers will have to vary their line to deceive the batters. Both the teams scored 300+ runs in the first ODI which is a sign of a great pitch. We are expecting India to win the contest and the series.
