The teams have arrived in Guwahati, as the second ODI between India (IND) and West Indies (WI) will be played on Wednesday, September 30, at the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) Barsapara Cricket Stadium. The hosts are already 1-0 up, while the visitors have a chance to keep themselves alive in the three-match series.
India opened the series brilliantly, winning the opening encounter at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram. Experienced veteran Virat Kohli and skipper Shubman Gill starred with the bat in the run chase as the hosts crossed the finishing line with eight wickets and 50 balls to spare. Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm wrist spinner, had also starred in the game with his 4-40 in ten overs.
West Indies, on the other hand, started the first ODI on an attacking note, with their openers staging a 100-plus stand for the first wicket. However, they failed to end the innings well and fell prey to Kuldeep’s spin, eventually accounting for only 295 for the loss of seven wickets in the first innings. Their bowlers looked completely clueless against the might of the hosts, but they will now look to draw a 1-1 level on the tour.

ACA Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati: Pitch Report
A batting paradise is what the pitch at the ACA Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati could be best regarded as. There have been a couple of one-day internationals played at the venue in the past, with the most recent being in 2023 between India and Sri Lanka. In all innings played at the venue, teams have successfully crossed a score of 300-plus, with India’s 373-7 against the Lankans being the highest.
A similar deck on Wednesday would mean that the fans could be in for yet another run-fest. While the bowlers will have a little to play around on this surface, it is the pacers who are likely to find breakthroughs relatively easier.
