India’s top-order batsmen performed brilliantly in the first ODI. Gill, who was returning to ODIs after more than 19 months, took full advantage of the opportunity. Before being run out, he got the team off to a great start with a 119-run partnership with Dhawan. Shikhar also looked in fine form and missed out on his 18th century by just three runs. Shreyas, who seemed troubled on the short pitch ball on the England tour, also returned to form after scoring a half-century. But, the middle order became a concern for the team. Sanju Samson (12 runs) once again failed to take advantage of the opportunity. Same was the case with Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda and Akshar Patel. However, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shardul Thakur, Pramukh Krishna and Shardul Thakur impressed in the bowling.
troubled by repeated defeats
As far as West Indies are concerned, the team is troubled by repeated defeats. Before this series, it was defeated by Bangladesh 3-0. Alam is that the team has lost the last seven consecutive ODIs. The biggest weakness of the team is also to last 50 overs. However, in the last match, he showed the spirit of fighting and had increased India’s troubles by staying for the full 50 overs. In such a situation, there is every possibility that the host team can give a tough challenge to the Indian team today. Especially after the way Kyle Myers (75), Brandon Kings (54) and Brooks (46) batted in the last match, it is going to be difficult for the Indian team in this match.
record on target
If the Indian team wins today, then it will make a record of winning consecutive series against any one opposition. Since 2007, India has won 11 consecutive bilateral series against West Indies. Pakistan has also won 11 consecutive series against Zimbabwe since 1996. In such a situation, India will have a chance to make this world record today.
