Dream 11 Fantasy Cricket tips for West Indies vs India, 2nd ODI at Port of Spain (24th July)

The 2nd ODI of the series between India and West Indies will be played at Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad. The match will start at 7:00 PM IST.

After a cliff-hanger of a match in the first ODI, India won by just 3 runs. After a commanding start, Indian batsmen should have got to a score of at least 350 to 370 runs. Even though the pitch got slow after 35 overs there should have been a little more display of intent from the side. Now, in the second match if India bat first, they should work towards getting at least 70 to 80 runs in the first 10 overs of the fielding restrictions and then make space for a satisfactory total. Playing high risk shots initially will reap the rewards they need.

To take on the attack to the opposition bowlers in this match India need to make sure that they carry forward the confidence of winning a tight match in the series opener.
