India vs West Indies 2019: 2nd ODI, Visakhapatnam – Match Prediction; It wasn’t a great game for India on Sunday in Chennai. The visitors thoroughly dominated the game with their brilliance on the field to go 0-1 up in the series. The firecrackers from Shimron Hetmyer and the perfect innings from Shai Hope helped West Indies knockdown India in their home conditions.

India’s top order failed to fire and despite managing to make a respectable 287/8, the bowling unit was unable to live up to the expectations. They never looked like stopping the West Indies from chasing down the tally on the board. Apart from Deepak Chahar, none of the bowlers looked comfortable in the middle.

India might bring in a couple of changes:

Much had been made of India’s issue in the middle order in the build-up to the first game, but they performed well with Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant each scoring in the 70s. It is the bowlers whose places may come under threat, especially with the Shivam Dube struggle on debut.

West Indies were in destructive form with the bat as they produced a big upset to beat India in the opening ODI. If they can maintain that form heading into this second game, they could make light work of claiming a series win. Shimron Hetmyer would like to deliver the goods once again while Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooram will carry the burden on their shoulders.

With the ball, Sheldon Cottrell, Keemo Paul and Alzarri Joseph did most of the damage as they chipped in with a couple of wickets apiece to give the batsmen a total that could be chased down. Most probably, they would head into the game with the similar playing XI while India might bring a couple of changes to the squad.

India vs West Indies 2019: 2nd ODI – Match Prediction

It will be a battle of equals at the Vizag pitch on Wednesday night. The Virat Kohli-led side will head into the game with an aim to seal the game while the West Indies unit would like to make the most of the opportunity to seal the series. Though West Indies found their balance in the squad, the Indian team will head into the game as favourties to win the game, as they are aware of conditions well. And also, they are always a dangerous side to beat in must-win games.
