India will be looking to bowl first in the second ODI as they go up against West Indies in the five-match ODI series. The Caribbean tour had a bad start as the first ODI got called off due to rain. Only a game of 39.2 overs could happen with Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane doing well in the top order, scoring fifties. Virat Kohli too got off to a good start and was looking to break loose before the rain took over. MS Dhoni could not do much but hit just one boundary. It has been raining since morning, the chances for a full game are less likely.
On the other hand, West Indies will once again look to register a win and get their inexperienced team back on track. They have the talent but have not been able to nurture it. They are far behind in the ODI rankings placed at the 9th spot. They will need a series of win before cut-off date September 30 in order to qualify for ICC World Cup 2019.
Pitch Report:
The pitch will have moisture early on. It is not as threatening to the batsmen but at the same t, me it is not a batting paradise either. This is not a wicket where 300 plus scores can be achieved with an exception of very loose bowling in the death overs. The ball might move around a bit because of the moisture and help the bowlers early on. The captain winning the toss is expected to field first as far as the pitch is concerned. Windies Skipper Jason Holder did the same as well in first ODI.
Weather Report:
It is not a happy sight to see the weather forecast of Port of Spain as rain showers are expected almost throughout the day. The game might get called off due to rain, the way it did in the 1st ODI as well. Though it is a poor choice to schedule matches in West Indies during June-July.
