On the other hand, India displayed their depth and adaptability in the first match by making changes to their batting lineup. Ishan Kishan’s brilliant half-century at the top of the order provided them a solid start, but the middle-order collapse exposed some vulnerabilities. However, with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Suryakumar Yadav in their ranks, India possesses a formidable batting unit that can quickly bounce back from any crisis.

The pitch at the Kensington Oval is expected to favor the spinners, just like it did in the first ODI. Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja will once again be crucial for India, while West Indies will rely on their spinners to exploit the conditions to their advantage. Batsmen from both teams will need to apply themselves and show patience to score runs on this challenging surface.

Weather might play a role in the match, as there is a 50% chance of rain predicted in Barbados. Teams will need to keep an eye on the weather updates and be prepared for possible interruptions.

Probable XIs:

West Indies: Shai Hope (c & wk), Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, Alick Athanaze, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Yannic Cariah, Dominic Drakes, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie

India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur/Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar

Match Prediction:

Considering India’s comprehensive win in the first ODI and their strong batting lineup, they enter the second match as favorites. West Indies, however, will be eager to bounce back and fight for survival in the series. The spin-friendly pitch could make things challenging for both teams, and rain interruptions may also come into play.

Prediction: India is likely to secure victory in the second ODI, but West Indies will put up a fight to keep the series alive.
