WI vs IND: West Indies Cricket Celebrates Shai Hope's 100th ODI As Desmond Haynes Presents Him With A Special "Commemorative Shirt"
West Indies captain Nicholas Pooran won the toss and chose to bat first against India in the second One-Day International on Sunday at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain.
India won the first ODI by three runs in a thrilling encounter to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Avesh Khan was handed his debut. Prasidh Krishna had to make way for him.
Although the Nicolas Pooran-led side put up a good fight against Shikhar Dhawan and company in the first ODI, they fell just short. Shai Hope will make his 100th appearance for the West Indies in the second ODI.
