West Indies:

Speaking about West Indies, their batting has not been up to the mark. They could not manage to resist the bowling offense of the hosts. They have been bundled out on multiple occasions in the ODI series. Kieron Pollard and Co. will need a collective effort to square the series and register their first win on the tour.

On the positive note, their spinners, Akeal Hosein and Fabian Allen, managed to trouble the Indian batters in the chase of 158 in the opening clash and will be eyeing to do the same in the second game.
