Indian Team Has A Good Chance Of Winning The Series

Indian Team has a good chance of winning the series, but the host team can retaliate: Ind vs WI 2nd ODI.

The Indian team defeated West Indies by three runs in a thrilling match in the first ODI. Now Shikhar Dhawan-led Indian team is eyeing winning the three-match ODI series.

The second match of the series between the two teams will be played on Sunday. Shikhar Dhawan will again be hoping for a great performance from the players so that the series is his name.

With another win, India will win their second consecutive ODI series on Caribbean soil.

The Indian team did well in every department in the first ODI on late Friday night to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

The aggressive opening partnership between the man of the match Dhawan (97) and comeback Shubman Gill (64) and the bowling attack led brilliantly by Siraj (2/57).

Team India had given a target of 309 runs to West Indies, in response to which the West Indies team could only manage 305 runs for six wickets.

West Indies needed 15 runs in the last over and Siraj defended it well. He ate just one boundary in his over. Shardul Thakur (2/54) and Yuzvendra Singh Chahal (2/58) gave good support to Siraj.

Gill, returning to the ODI side after a gap of more than 19 months, took full advantage of the opportunity and played the best innings of his career.

Gill, who was preferred over Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan, when batting on the Queen’s Park Oval pitch, looked easy while most players struggled.

Gill’s innings ended with a run-out. Now it is up to Gill whether he can convert great starts into big innings or not. And he would definitely like to do so to cement his place on the team.

Dhawan also played the role of the second partner very well. He and Gill formed a partnership of 119 runs in 106 balls.

But senior batsman Dhawan missed out on his 18th century. Shreyas Iyer also returned to form with a half-century to give a ‘perfect’ start to the top three players in the Indian team.

But with a faltering middle order, the Indian team could only manage 308 for seven, while at one point they were on track to reach 350 runs. was increasing.

In the middle order, Sanju Samson once again failed to make use of the opportunity at this level, scoring 12 runs in 18 balls.

Suryakumar Yadav, Samson, Deepak Hooda, and Axar Patel would like to contribute well on Sunday.

Dhawan made a surprise decision in the absence of injured Ravindra Jadeja, having bowled the first 20 overs with part-time spinner Deepak Hooda before specialist Yuzvendra Singh Chahal.

Siraj led the pace well and came back in the final over with his perfect yorker after the dismissal of Nicholas Pooran in the middle overs.

On the other hand, the West Indies team would like to break the continuous losing streak in ODIs, which has now gone up to seven matches, including the 0-3 defeat against Bangladesh earlier this series.

This series is not part of the ICC World Cup Super League and West Indies have a chance to play without any pressure.

The last time the Indian team toured the West Indies for an ODI series, the visiting team won the series 2-0 with one match being washed out due to rain.
