India and West Indies will be playing the 2nd ODI of India vs West Indies ODI Series 2023, to be held at Kensington Oval Bridgetown, Barbados on 29 July, 7:00 PM IST onwards.
After receiving a one-sided defeat from India in the 1st IND vs WI ODI, West Indies would look to work on their major weaknesses throughout the series i.e. batting. Except for Shai Hopes, all WI batters perished without offering any resistance. While Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav were unplayable at times on a spin-friendly track, the West Indies batsmen just made their job easy by not showing some patience.
The bowlers, though, come up as the saving grace for WI, especially Gudakesh Motie and Yannic Cariah, who made great use of the conditions and troubled Indian youngsters. Since the 2nd ODI is being played on the same ground, the WI would look to bank on the skills of their lead spinners, with their key batters to start firing.

IND vs WI Dream11 Prediction
The format changed but not the fate of the WI cricket team. After having a disappointing test series against India, the WI team once again kneel down to Indian dominance in the first ODI.
And, things don’t seem to improve even for the 2nd ODI. Indians are favorites for winning the 2nd ODI as well. The most we can hope for is an exciting contest, provided some exceptional performances from the Carribean batters.
Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from West Indies
Shai Hope ODI Stats (Career)
Shai Hope is a talented batsman, with a wide range of shots. A career average of over 50 in 116 innings is not an easy thing to attain. But, he hasn’t been in great form for a while now. He has to fire if WI wants to challenge the Indians in the ODIs and T20s.
Innings | Runs | Average | Last 5 ODI Performances | Captain or Vice-captain choice |
116 | 4872 | 50.22 | 43, 2, 63, 13, 47 | No |
Gudakesh Motie ODI Stats (Career)
Gudakesh Motie was very impressive in the first ODI. Even players like Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Panday were unable to read his Googlies. Long way to way for the talented left-arm spinner from Guyana!
Matches | Wickets | Best | Last 5 ODI Performances | Captain or Vice-captain choice |
5 | 10 | 4/23 | 2/26 2/54 4/23 1/39 1/18 |
