West Indies vs India 2023: 2nd ODI – Dafanews Match Preview

West Indies will lock horns against India in the second ODI at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday. India won the first ODI by five wickets at the same venue and they will be looking to seal the series.

West Indies could only manage 114 runs in the first ODI and their batters need to deliver more. The Windies will aim to pull up their socks in the batting department but their bowlers had done a decent job in the opening game.
