Once the sovereign, now the chaser: Can West Indies channel legend in Guwahati?

Following a challenging loss in Thiruvananthapuram, the West Indies squad aims to bounce back during the upcoming fixture in Guwahati to keep their hopes alive for a first bilateral series victory in India in 24 years. Justin Greaves and John Campbell provided a bright spot during the previous match with a 135-run opening partnership, featuring a maiden ODI century for Greaves alongside half-centuries from Campbell and Amir Jangoo.

Meanwhile, India enters the contest boasting top-ranked batter Shubman Gill, an aggressive Virat Kohli, and returning spinner Kuldeep Yadav.

This upcoming clash marks another chapter in Guwahati's international cricket history, following past landmark encounters at Nehru Stadium and Barsapara. While India holds the top spot in the ODI rankings, the visitors must navigate the qualification path for the 2027 World Cup after missing out on direct entry.
