West Indies have set India an ambitious target in the second ODI of their ongoing series, posting 405/7 after three batsmen brought up three-figure scores in their respective innings. The Caribbean side's batting display was anchored by Campbell, Hope and Jangoo, who combined to put their team in a commanding position heading into India's run chase.
Should India successfully complete the chase, it would mark their highest successful run-chase in ODI history. The hosts now face a monumental challenge to overhaul West Indies' total and secure a victory in the contest. The task ahead represents a significant test of India's batting depth and ability to perform under pressure in the middle overs.
The third century in the West Indies innings proved crucial in pushing the visitors past the 400-run mark, a total that has historically proven difficult for most teams to chase down successfully. India's bowlers will reflect on their performance as the focus now shifts to whether the home side can mount a credible response with the bat in hand.
The second ODI represents a significant juncture in the series between the two sides, with India needing to demonstrate strong batting form to overhaul West Indies' imposing total and maintain momentum in the fixture.
