Team India faces a do or die situation when they face West Indies in the second of the 3-match ODI series at Vishakapatnam later in the afternoon.
After being handed a thumping defeat in the series opener at Chennai, Virat and Co. would desperately want to level back things with a win at Vizag and avoid a rare ODI series defeat on their home turf.
The sub continent giants who have enjoyed a golden run at home in white ball cricket, winning all their ODI series post the 2019 ICC World Cup stare at their first defeat in the limited overs arena after a long time.
The higher ranked Indians would need to come out with a better performance with the ball to stop the Windies power hitters from unleashing their brutal strokeplay after Shimron Hetmyer and Co. made easy work of a relatively tough 278-run chase in the opening rubber at Chennai.
Meanwhile,the Indian batting department had some positives with wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant eventually shedding his poor form and Shreyas Iyer coming good amidst a rare failure by opener Rohit Sharma and skipper Virat Kohli.
It could well be a run feast at the ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium which has been known to produce high scoring encounters and has been a happy hunting ground for the Indians
