West Indies Win In 36.4 Overs | Bridgetown Barbados Weather and Match Highlights Live for IND vs WI 2nd ODI 2023 at The Kensington Oval: Rain Stays Away As Shai Hope Leads Windies to Comprehensive Six-Wicket Victory

That's it and that's a big win for the hosts. It has been just few weeks they have been knocked out of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Qualifiers and they beat the World Cup hosts in an ODI clash in a clinical way. With this win West Indies strongly come back into the series and will meet India again in the decider in Trinidad. 

Fifty for the skipper! Shai Hope plays a captains knock and he used his entire experience to negotiate the unorthodox bowling of Kuldeep Yadav and guide youngster Keacy Carty alongside as they move towards levelling the series. WI need 31 more runs to win. 

Keacy Carty and Shai Hope have stitched together a partnership of 44 runs and weathering the middle period of crisis they are know steadily taking West Indies towards a memorable victory. They are within touching distance now. 

Out! Shimron Hetmyer was looking uncomfortable against Kuldeep Yadav and Kuldeep lives on that expectation by cleaning up the Carribean power hitter. Less than 100 needed now but West Indies have now entered danger territory. 

Out! Shardul Thakur is on a roll. This time he gets Alick Athanaze top edge one of his cross seam bouncers and West Indies lose another. They have been scoring fast but the regular falls of wickets will worry them. 

Out! No, it's never too late for Shardul Thakur. He removes both the West Indies openers in one over and opens up the game once more.  Brandon King is dismissed and India will hope the introduction of spinners will help them enter further into game. 

Out! Finally a breakthrough for India but it is too late? Shardul Thakur's golden arm comes for the rescue again removing the dangerous Kyle Mayers after West Indies race to a half-century partnership in the opening stand. 

Kyle Mayers starts the innings in his natural style as he puts pressure on the Indian bowlers starting off quickly. With less runs on the board, India will be under pressure of taking wickets as well as restricting run flow. 

Out! That's it. The struggle finally ends for the Indian tailenders and it is helped by Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie plays a big role in that as they picked up the last three wickets cleaning up the tail of India. West Indies have half the job done and need to show some application to win this game. 

The rain seems to have stopped and the covers are coming off again. It seemed like a passing shower and we should get a revised start time once the Umpires inspect the situation of the outfield. 

Just like the previous instance, the rain has returned just after a wicket and this time the rain looks pretty heavy.  The covers are on and it is currently pouring down at the Kensington Oval. 

Out! Suryakumar Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja gave India some hopes with a partnership but both of them perished and now Shardul Thakur follows them. Alzarri Joseph's delivery jags back in and catches Shardul Thakur infront of the wicket. 

Out! Ravindra Jadeja's stay doesn't continue long. Top edges a pull and Yannick Cariah makes no mistake to hold on to it and West Indies will be motivated now to end this innings quickly. 

India lost their half side very quickly and currently experienced batters Ravindra Jadeja and Suryakumar Yadav are on the crease and they look for a period of consolidation before they can take the attack on again. 

It seems like the drizzle has stopped and covers are coming off. Umpires will inspect the ground immediately and inform a possible restart time soon. 

And as it was feared, the rain has finally arrived and the drizzle that has been troubling for some time now got heavier. Covers are firmly in place but the hosts will want action to resume soon as they are with the momentum.

Out! Consecutive wickets from West Indies. First Hardik Pandya mistimes a pull off Jaydon Seales to mid-wicket and then Sanju Samson edges one from Yannick Cariah to the slip. West Indies are well on top now. 

Out! Third wicket in a row and India look in trouble now. Some top tactics from the Caribbeans straightway attacking Axar Patel with short ball barrage and the batter couldn't escape one gloving it to captain Shai Hope's hand behind. 

Out! Double blow for India as they lose the well-set Ishan Kishan now. He tries to smash Romario Shepherd through backward point but Alick Athanaze leaps in the air to take a stunner and shows Kishan the direction of the pavilion. India will need a period of rebuild now. 

Out! Shubman Gill fails to go big once again. Tries to take on Gudakesh Motie but holes one down the throat of long off to Alzarri Joseph. He will be disappointed but still hasn't looked in his best touch.
