India claimed a crucial 1-0 lead following their six-wicket triumph in the opening ODI against West Indies in Ahmedabad on Sunday. They will now be looking to clinch the three-match series on Wednesday at the same venue. Playing in their historic 1000th ODI, the Men in Blue dominated with both the bat and ball as the Windies were clearly second best in the series opener.

Bowling first after winning the toss, Yuzvendra Chahal (4/49), Washington Sundar (3/30) and Prasidh Krishna (2/29) combined to bowl out the Windies for 176 in 43.5 overs. Only Jason Holder (57) could stand up to the Indian bowling attack. The hosts had reduced West Indies to 79 for 7 before a late fightback lifted the visitors to some sort of respectability.

In the chase, skipper Rohit Sharma led from the front with a fluent 60. India lost their way after Rohit’s dismissal as Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant fell in quick succession. But Suryakumar Yadav and debutant Deepak Hooda guided India to victory in just 28 overs. The Men in Blue will be confident of claiming the series by winning the second ODI today.

IND vs WI - 2nd ODI pitch report

The match is being played on a different pitch from the first ODI. According to Deep Dasgupta and Ajit Agarkar, there is an even covering of grass, but it could be a bit tacky and should get better to bat under lights. Dew could be a factor.
