India started the three-match ODI series against West Indies in a clinical fashion as they trumped the Caribbean side by five wickets. However, the hosts have bounced back in style as they secured a comfortable six-wicket win against the Men in Blue in the second ODI in Bridgetown. The West Indies bowlers were at their best and bundled out India for 181. Then skipper Shai Hope led the charge with the bat to take his side across the line. ‘Playing Virat and Rohit Would Not Have Given Us...’ Head Coach Rahul Dravid Explains Why Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Did Not Play IND vs WI 2nd ODI 2023 (Watch Video)

With the series levelled, the action will move towards the final ODI on Tuesday, August 1 at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad. India would look to take learnings from their loss in the previous game and put up a better showing in the upcoming clash. With the series on the line, it will be interesting to see if the team management tries different combinations to prepare for the World Cup 2023 or play with their best XI in the third ODI.

West Indies, on the other hand, would be pleased by their performance in the second ODI. They would be eager to replicate the same in the high-voltage clash. However, they need to be wary of the fact that the visitors would come hard at them and thus, Shai Hope & Co. would need to bring their A-game in the encounter on Tuesday.
