India look forward to extend lead over West Indies in ODI Series

Kingston (Jamaica): India, leading the four-match ODI series against West Indies 1-0, look forward to win the second ODI to be played in this venue and take an unassailable lead over the Caribbean team. In a high scoring match in Kingston on Friday, India had beaten West Indies by 20 runs. Yuvraj Singh was the star of the match with 131 off 102 balls with 10 boundaries and 7 sixes.

West Indies will try hard to redeem pride and level the series at 1-1 to keep their series hopes alive. They know that they narrowly lost the first ODI, but can bounce back in the second one today. With most of their batsmen on good nick, they need to improve in bowling as well as fielding to get better of Team India.

Indian skipper MS Dhoni admitted that the first ODI was much closer than expected and warned his team not to be complacent, when they take on West Indies on Sunday. If India win the four-match series 4-0, they will become the No. 2 team in the ICC ODI Rankings. Today's match will begin at 8 PM IST and will be telecasted on Ten Sports and DD-I (National).

Indian Team:

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Yusuf Pathan, Murali Vijay, Subramaniam Badrinath, Rudra Pratap Singh, Praveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Abhishek Nayar, Ashish Nehra, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik.

West Indies Team:

Chris Gayle, Denesh Ramdin, Lionel Baker, Darren Bravo, Dwayne Bravo, Sulieman Benn, David Bernard Jr, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Runako Morton, Ravi Rampaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Jerome Taylor.
