IND vs WI 2026: 2nd ODI Match Preview

The Assam Cricket Association (ACA)’s Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is the designated host for the upcoming second ODI between India (IND) and West Indies (WI).

This all-important clash will be played on Wednesday, September 30, as the hosts find themselves in a leading position in the series with a 1-0 lead coming in.

India showed their absolute best against the Caribbean side in the series opener on Sunday, winning the clash by eight wickets and 50 balls remaining at the Greenfield International Stadium. With a 1-0 lead already in their favour, the Shubman Gill-led side will be looking forward to sealing the series with a win in Guwahati.

The West Indies, on the other hand, have a simple task, and that is to cause a disruption against the might of the Indian team to draw levels on the series. This is the only way that the visitors will be able to keep themselves alive in the ODI leg of the tour. Shai Hope will have to carry his men into the encounter with a simple aim of leaving the demons of the loss behind and showing true fight.
