Guwahati, India. The second encounter of the three‑match ODI series between India and the West Indies is set for Wednesday at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. With a dominant 8‑wicket victory in Thiruvananthapuram, India heads the tie 1‑0 and will look to clinch the series with another win. Kick‑off is slated for 2:00 PM, and the toss will be conducted at 1:30 PM.

In the opening game, India chased down a target of 295 in 41.4 overs. Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 139, while Shubman Gill contributed a solid 110. Spin maestro Kuldeep Yadav was the pick‑of‑the‑bowlers, claiming four wickets.

Spotlight on Kohli and Rohit in Guwahati

The second ODI will revolve around the performances of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Barsapara has historically favoured Indian batters, and the side will lean on its seasoned top order to produce decisive innings.

Kohli’s century in the first match also saw him cross the 15,000‑run milestone in ODIs, making him only the second player after Sachin Tendulkar to achieve the feat.

Setback for the West Indies: Justin Greaves Out

The visitors suffered a blow as all‑rounder Justin Greaves, who smashed a hundred (101 off 108 balls) in the opener, was ruled out with a calf injury. Both Cricket West Indies and the ICC confirmed his unavailability for the Guwahati fixture.

Greaves had forged a 135‑run opening stand with John Campbell, anchoring the West Indies total of 295/7. His absence forces the team to reshuffle the top of the order.

Batters’ Duel Expected at Barsapara

High scores are a hallmark of ODIs at Barsapara. In the previous India‑West Indies clash at this ground, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli posted centuries to steer India to victory. Consequently, the batting showcase will be under intense scrutiny once again on Wednesday.

India aims to secure an unassailable 2‑0 lead, while the West Indies will strive to level the series.

The second ODI kicks off at 2:00 PM on September 30 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. The toss is scheduled for 1:30 PM. The game will be televised on the Star Sports Network and streamed live on JioSaavn.
