IND vs WI 2026: 2nd ODI Match Preview

India enters the second fixture of the ODI series holding a one-nothing advantage following an eight-wicket triumph in the opening contest at the Greenfield International Stadium. Leadership under Shubman Gill aims to secure the series victory during the upcoming Wednesday meeting at the ACA Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, where previous matches have favored the hosts.

The visiting squad led by Shai Hope seeks to recover from their earlier defeat and level the score to keep their tour prospects alive. Both teams have announced their probable starting lineups for the clash, which will be broadcast on the JioStar Network and JioHotstar.

Historically, the two nations have contested one hundred forty-three one-day internationals since their first meeting in June 1979, with India claiming seventy-three victories compared to sixty-four for the West Indies alongside six matches yielding no result or a tie. The Guwahati pitch typically produces high-scoring encounters with assistance available for pace bowlers despite favorable batting conditions.

The Indian squad features prominent names such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Mohammed Siraj, while the Caribbean side relies on players including Roston Chase, Alzarri Joseph, and Jayden Seales.
