IND vs WI 2nd ODI: Live Streaming, Match Prediction, Pitch Report Playing XI

India and West Indies will meet in the second ODI of the three-match series at the ACA Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. India lead the series 1-0 after an eight-wicket victory in the opening match and will look to seal the series with another win. West Indies, meanwhile, need a stronger all-round performance to level the contest and take the series to a decider.

India dominated the first ODI with both bat and ball. Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 139, while captain Shubman Gill contributed 110 as India chased down West Indies’ 295/7 with eight wickets and 50 balls to spare. Earlier, Kuldeep Yadav claimed four wickets for 40 runs to help India regain control after West Indies’ openers built a strong partnership.

West Indies showed promise at the top of the order, with John Campbell and Justin Greaves putting together a 135-run opening stand. However, they struggled against India’s spin attack in the middle overs. The visitors will need greater support from their middle order and bowlers if they want to keep the series alive.

IND vs WI: Match details

ACA Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati: Pitch report

The Barsapara Cricket Stadium generally offers good conditions for batting, with the ball coming onto the bat nicely once batters settle in. The ground has hosted high-scoring ODI matches, and India’s total of 373/7 against Sri Lanka in 2023 remains a notable score at the venue.

Batters who handle the new ball well could find plenty of opportunities to score, while fast bowlers may get some assistance early in the innings. As the match progresses, disciplined bowling and effective use of variations will be important to prevent the opposition from building momentum.

IND vs WI: Probable best performers of the match

Probable best batter: Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma will be keen to turn a promising start in the first ODI into a substantial score. His experience in Indian conditions and ability to attack during the powerplay could prove valuable on a ground where batters can score quickly. If he builds a solid opening partnership with Shubman Gill, India could establish a strong platform for another successful chase or a competitive first-innings total.

Probable best bowler: Prasidh Krishna

Prasidh Krishna will be one to watch with the ball. His height allows him to generate bounce, and his ability to extract movement with the new ball could trouble the West Indies top order. After taking wickets in the opening match, he will look to maintain that momentum and support Kuldeep Yadav in restricting the visitors.

IND vs WI: Match prediction

India will enter the second ODI with confidence after their commanding win in Thiruvananthapuram. Their top order looks settled, while Kuldeep Yadav’s performance in the first game gives the hosts a clear spin-bowling option in the middle overs.

West Indies have enough batting talent to challenge India, but their middle-order performance and bowling discipline will be crucial. They need to convert strong starts into a competitive total and take early wickets to put pressure on the hosts.

Prediction: India have the advantage heading into the second ODI and will look to secure the series with another win. West Indies will need a more complete performance to force a decider in the final match.
