Windies break their ODI batting record in India run-fest

During the second one-day international hosted in Guwahati, the visiting team established a historic high-water mark by putting up 405 runs for the loss of seven wickets across fifty overs. This remarkable innings featured three separate centurions, namely John Campbell, Shai Hope, and Amir Jangoo, marking a rare statistical milestone in the fifty-over format.

Their total surpassed a previous high score achieved against England at St George's back in 2019.

This strong display on the pitch unfolds amid a difficult backdrop for the squad, who were recently notified of a twenty-five percent reduction in compensation stemming from broader financial adjustments. Additionally, the side faces an uphill climb to secure automatic qualification for the tournament scheduled for the following year, which will require them to navigate through a qualifying tournament early in 2027.
