West Indies will once again compete with India in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
After suffering a five-wicket defeat at the hands of Rohit Sharma’s India, the Shai Hope-led home team would look to bounce in the do or die encounter. Having missed the opportunity of qualifying for the ODI World Cup 2023, West Indies need to regroup and return on the winning ways. They have won just one game in their last five ODI matches.
On the other hand, the Men in Blue struggled with the bat while chasing a paltry target of 115 versus West Indies in the series opener. The visitors may not make too many changes in their playing XI when they take the field on Saturday. The Indian team management is looking to give the current lot another go in audition for the upcoming World Cup.
