West Indies opener says conditions will play huge role in Guwahati ODI

A West Indies opener said conditions will play a huge role in the second ODI against India in Guwahati. The player noted that teams cannot take any opponent lightly in the shorter format and that the margin of error remains small throughout the game.

West Indies posted 405 for 7 after centuries from three batters, setting India a record chase. The visitors made four changes to their playing XI after Justin Greaves was ruled out with a calf injury. The team is seeking to level the series after losing the opening match by eight wickets.

A 96 percent chance of rain was forecast for the afternoon, raising the possibility of a truncated or washed-out match. The visitors said they would also have chosen to bowl first on the grassy surface at Barsapara Cricket Stadium.
