India v West Indies 2nd ODI Port of Spain - India look to continue dominance


India, which started there campaign to look forward ODI brighter note after the match against West Indies with 4 wickets out there to keep efforts to continue the West Indies on the mat. The pitch at Queen's Park Oval is well suited to the Indians, and they want this advantage, before moving to Antigua for the 3rd and 4 ODI.

The young Indian brigade knows how important it is to keep the momentum with them as far as possible. You know it's great task to bridge the gap by the absence of Sachin, Sehwag, Gambhir, Zaheer, Yuvraj and Dhoni, but they also know that they are the world champions, and they show the fighting spirit, whether they played against West Indies with Created feel second string team or regular team.

West Indies on the other side looks out of ideas in two Twenty20 and One Day Internationals at first, they played too many balls dot in the middle overs, which cost the end they play at the end. West Indies opener, the team struggled to restart required in the absence of Chris Gayle, which ultimately put much pressure on two high-level players Sarwan and Samuels would be. What must hurt the West Indies but both are not wearing there until the end of inning, and allowed India to have full control in the game.

West Indies biggest challenge is to face quality spin attack in the previous series against Pakistan and Pakistanis do not play spinners well and that cost them the series. If the West Indies batsmen continue to struggle, then it is very difficult for them to win this series, too.

India bowling unit looks more than their unit down a hair. Indian pace or spin-division in the first game after the West Indians only 214 runs restrict impressed. The major concern for India, it is normally closed and experienced middle order. Parthiv Patel has a wide range of shots, but is expected to set a higher price on his wicket, after an unnecessary offense to run in the first ODI. S. Badrinath know this is golden opportunity for him in the absence of other high-ranking members of the squad, and he wants to grab it by both hands when this might not be his last chance.

It will be interesting to see how they come along, when they hunt challenge of running on 260th

Likely to play (begin match schedule at 18:30 India Time Clock) XI for both teams

After winning the first game of the West Indies, India is unlikely that the winner to tickle squad. On the other hand, could bring the West Indies K. Pollard to provide the much needed strength in the middle order.

India Squad: Parthiv Patel (WK), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, S Badrinath, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina (captain), Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, A. Mishra, Praveen Kumar, Munaf Patel.

West Indies Squad: Lendl Simmons, Kirk Edwards, Darren Bravo, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Dwayne Bravo, M. Samuels, Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy (captain), Carlton Baugh (WK), Ravi Rampaul, Anthony Martin.
