IND Vs WI Match Prediction: India quite comfortably defeated the West Indies in the first ODI of their three-game series. The fans even got to witness yet another international century by Virat Kohli, and one by team captain Shubman Gill. A win in the second game will seal the series win for the Men in Blue.
The Indian Cricket Team became the first to win back-to-back T20 World Cup titles earlier this year, and the first to win the tournament three times.
Then came the IPL, where the entire Indian team played. The Sri Lankans then hosted Afghanistan for one Test match and three T20Is, winning them all comfortably. Then came the disastrous two T20Is against Ireland, both of which the Men in Blue lost, resulting in their first-ever series loss to the Irish.
A tour to India was next, where the Indians were thrashed 4-0 in a T20I series, then lost 2-1 in an ODI series. Most recently, they defeated Sri Lanka 1-0 in a two-Test series, before whitewashing Afghanistan 3-0 in T20Is. Simultaneously with this West Indies story, a second Indian squad is currently in Japan for the 2026 Asian Games.
As for the West Indies cricket team, they have had a mixed year so far on the international stage. They topped their group in the 2026 T20 World Cup over England before nearly making it to the semis.
After much of their squad played in the IPL, the West Indies lost an ODI to Sri Lanka, but then won the T20I and Test series against the Lankans. A disappointing tour of New Zealand was next, where the hosts were beaten in a five-game ODI series by the Kiwis.
Most recently, the Windies drew a Test series against Pakistan as they now embark on a multi-format tour to India.

IND Vs WI 2nd ODI 2026 Barsapara Stadium Pitch Report
It may seem at first that the wickets at the Barsapara Stadium are standard, run-of-the-mill limited-overs surfaces that favour batters and offer little to bowlers. And while that might be the case, as we have seen in a match here this season, the pitches here generally have something for spinners as the match progresses and the surface starts to tear, especially in ODI cricket. However, early in the proceedings, the batters do enjoy the regular bounce and decent pace here. It is not the biggest stadium, this one. The straight boundaries are quite short, about 65m in length, while the square boundaries are about 68m away from the batter.
IND Vs WI 2nd ODI Weather Forecast
While the monsoon clouds have returned to southern India, the conditions in the NortEast will still be cloudy. So, in the days before the match, heavy rainfall is expected in Thiruvananthapuram. On the day of the match, the skies will be partly cloudy and much sunnier compared to the days before. But then, in the evening, light rain and thunderstorms are predicted. In the afternoon, the chances of rain will also be low. The wind speeds will be low, and the humidity will be on the higher end.
