After a clinical win in the 1st ODI, Team India will look to continue their winning run when they lock horns against West Indies on Wednesday (February 9) at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The hosts will be keen to wrap up the series with one match to spare.
India produced an all-round show against West Indies in the series opener. The bowlers were on money to restrict the visiting side for low scores before chasing it down. Rohit Sharma & Co will aim to continue the same run.

Meanwhile, one change is on the cards for India as KL Rahul is likely to slot in the middle-order. Deepak Hooda, who made his ODI debut in the last game, is likely to make way for India vice-captain.
On the other hand, West Indies have a lot to contemplate after a humiliating defeat in the first game. As Jason Holder stated after the 1st ODI, the batters will have to put more price on their wickets and try to bat longer if they at all want to make a comeback in the series.
