West Indies will look to draw level in the second ODI against India at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday after going down in the opening game by five wickets. The Windies were bowled out for a meager score of 114 runs and their batters need to show more gumption in the second game to come back in the series.
Kuldeep Yadav was the chief destroyer as he bagged a total of four wickets and conceded only six runs in the three overs he bowled. Furthermore, Ravindra Jadeja picked three wickets and thus the Indian spinners did the bulk of the damage.
However, India will want to come up with a better batting show as they lost five wickets in the run-chase of 115 runs. Ishan Kishan scored a fine knock of 52 runs but the rest of the batters will have to pull up their socks.
