Rain could play spoilsport in the second ODI between India and the West Indies in Vadodara on October 1, with weather forecasts predicting showers around match time.

India lead the three-match series 1-0 after a comfortable win in the opener. A victory in Vadodara would seal the series with a game to spare.

The hosts are expected to field an unchanged side after their dominant performance. Captain Shubman Gill has led from the front with the bat, while the bowlers have kept the visitors under pressure.

The West Indies, meanwhile, are fighting to stay alive in the series. Their batting has struggled against India’s disciplined attack, and the middle order needs to step up in the crunch game.

Ground staff at the Kotambi Stadium are prepared with covers and drainage systems. Fans will hope the weather holds so the contest can be decided on the field rather than by Duckworth-Lewis calculations.
