India will face the West Indies in the second One Day International at the Assam Cricket Association Stadium in Guwahati, with the series likely to be decided on the day. After a dominant display by Virat Kohli in the opening game, the hosts have taken a clear advantage and can clinch the three‑match series with a win.
