India wins toss and opts to bowl against West Indies in second ODI
GUWAHATI, India (AP) --- Shubman Gill called correctly at the coin toss and
India opted to bowl against the West Indies in their second one-day cricket
international on Wednesday.
India won the first ODI by eight wickets on Sunday in the three-match series.
The host made one change; pace bowler Auqib Nabi makes his ODI debut.
Allrounder Nitish Reddy was left out as India improved its pace combination.
West Indies changed four: Justin Greaves, who scored a maiden hundred in the
first game, was out due to a calf injury. Keacy Carty will open the innings
instead. Also included were allrounders Sherfane Rutherford and Keemo Paul
along with left-arm wrist spinner Vitel Lawes.
Batter Jewel Andrew, pacer Matthew Forde and left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie
were left out.
The pitch at Barsapara Cricket Stadium has a bit more grass compared to the
first game. Usually it favours spinners but batters will still find it easy
through the day.
