West Indies will have their tails up in the upcoming match of the ODI series against India as they rooted their victory in the first match. The Caribbean Giants have established themselves as prominent fighters, smashing India by eight wickets in the previous match. Shimron Hetmyer (139 runs from 106 balls) and Shai Hope (102 from 151 balls) were the batting stars of the match, as their incredible knocks contributed in taking Windies through, in the 288-run chase in Chennai. While India, on the other hand, saw the failure of the top-order batsmen, leaving the responsibility of rescuing the team on Shreyas Iyer (70 off 88) and Rishabh Pant (71 off 69). Both the teams are geared up to clinch their victory in the second battle.
