The second one-day international between India and the West Indies is under a weather watch, with rain forecast for the afternoon in the host city. Ground staff have kept covers ready, and officials will take an early look at the outfield before the toss.

India lead the series after a comfortable win in the opener. The home team’s bowlers were on target last game, and the top order chased the target with overs to spare. A win here would seal the series with a match to play.

The West Indies, meanwhile, are searching for answers. Their batting collapsed under pressure in the first match, and the team management is expected to make at least one change to the playing eleven. The visitors need a big performance to stay alive in the series.

Forecasts suggest possible showers after the lunch session. If rain arrives, the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method could come into play. Both captains will weigh the toss carefully, as chasing is often easier when rain threatens.
