HIGHLIGHTS
- India registers 44-run win over West Indies in second ODI
- India take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in 3-match ODI series
- Suryakumar and Prasidh starred for India in the 2nd ODI
Prasidh Krishna and Suryakumar Yadav produced power-packed performances to pave the way for India’s 44-run win over West Indies in the second ODI in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, giving the hosts an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
The West Indies were jolted early in their reply after Krishna (4-12) dismissed opener Brandon King and Darren Bravo in successive overs, before getting the wicket of Nicholas Pooran (9) in the 20th over. Shamarh Brooks (44) provided some resistance before he became Deepak Hooda’s first wicket in international cricket, missing out on his fifty when he holed out to long-on.
Smith then provided the West Indies a glimmer of hope towards the end of the innings with a knock of 24, which included a couple of sixes, but the West Indies were eventually bowled out for 193 inside 46 overs.

Earlier in the day, the West Indies bowlers came out with an impressive show to restrict India to 237 for nine after winning the toss and opting to bowl first. The Indian team was reeling at 43 for three after a top-order collapse before Suryakumar Yadav stitched a crucial 91-run stand with vice-captain KL Rahul (49) to bring the team out of the muddy waters.

The elegant Surya, who notched up his second fifty, mixed caution with aggression and hammered five fours in his 83-ball knock, on a track where batting wasn’t easy. India lost skipper Rohit Sharma (5) cheaply when he tried to chase a widish delivery off pacer Kemar Roach (1/42) and edged to Shai Hope after West Indies opted to field. Virat Kohli (18), playing his 100th ODI in India, then joined Rishabh Pant (18), who opened for the first time in the 50-over format.
Pacer Odean Smith (2/29) pegged back the hosts by removing both Pant and Kohli in the 12th over as India slipped to 43/3. First Smith removed Pant, who mistimed a pull and gave a sitter to Jason Holder, and then dismissed a well-set Kohli after the former captain edged to Hope.
However, Surya perished in the 39th over, giving an easy catch to Joseph, as Fabian Allen (1/50) got his only wicket. Sundar too, was unable to convert his start. Then Deepak Hooda’s 29 off 25 deliveries helped India go past the 225-run mark. The hosts could only add 54 runs in the last 10 overs.
