Guwahati, India – The second encounter of the three‑match ODI series between India and the West Indies is set for Wednesday at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. Fresh off an 8‑wicket triumph in Thiruvananthapuram, India leads 1‑0 and will be looking to cement a 2‑0 advantage. The game kicks off at 2:00 PM with the toss scheduled for 1:30 PM.

Key Players: Kohli and Rohit in Guwahati

All eyes will be on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as they head back to a ground that has historically favored Indian batters. In the opening ODI, Kohli’s unbeaten 139 anchored the chase, while Rohit contributed a solid 67. The pair’s experience will be pivotal as India aims to replicate the high‑scoring chase that defined the first match.

Kohli’s Milestone

During the first game, Kohli crossed the 15,000‑run mark in ODIs, becoming only the second player after Sachin Tendulkar to achieve the feat. The milestone adds extra motivation for him to fire once more in Guwahati.

West Indies Suffer a Blow: Justin Greaves Out

Caribbean hopes have taken a hit with Justin Greaves ruled out after a calf injury. Greaves smashed 101 off 108 balls in the opening match, sharing a 135‑run opening stand with John Campbell. Without his aggressive start, the West Indies management will have to reshuffle the top order.

Batting Spectacle Expected at Barsapara

Barsapara has produced some of the highest ODI totals in recent years. In the previous India‑West Indies clash here, both Rohit and Kohli posted centuries to steer India to victory. Given the flat pitch and short boundaries, the forthcoming game promises another batting showcase, with both sides eager to post or chase a big total.

The match will be televised on the Star Sports Network and streamed live on JioSaavn. Kick‑off is slated for 2:00 PM on 30 September at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati.
