India v West Indies Second ODI Prediction
Best Bet - Over 592.5 match runs @ 5/6
Pitches in India in recent years have tended to favour batting teams, and that was on full display in the first ODI in Thiruvananthapuram.
The visitors put on a respectable 296, but the Men in Blue chased it down with ease, with centuries from Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill taking them to the total with more than eight overs to spare.
This pitch at Guwahati is set to be no different, with high scores expected again.
It has hosted two ODIs and in the first in 2018, West Indies made 322 before India successfully chased it down with 47 balls to spare.
In the second in 2022, the hosts posted a huge 373 against Sri Lanka, which the visitors got within 67 runs of before falling short.
In such conditions and given India's recent form, the line of 592.5 match runs looks low.
Alternative Bet - Virat Kohli top India batter @ 11/4
Kohli again showed why he is one of the greatest ODI batters of all time, with an unbeaten 139 in the first game.
India's talisman has made centuries in both ODIs on this ground, and given how easily he handled the West Indies' attack, he could top score for his country again.
India v West Indies Second ODI Bet Builder Tip
India to win
A century to be made in the match
Gudakesh Motie top West Indies bowler
Pays 13/2
India should be far too strong for these opponents and are fancied to make it 12 wins from 13 against West Indies in this format.
There were three centuries in the opener between these two and another looks likely.
Gudakesh Motie averages 27.50 against India in ODIs and the left-arm spinner looks a lively outsider to be the West Indies' top bowler.

Tactics, Form and Team News
India opted for three all-rounders in the first game and look unlikely to ditch that approach here.
That means Mohammed Siraj may not have a place unless the hosts choose to rest one of their pace bowlers.
India expected XI: 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Shubman Gill (C), 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Ruturaj Gaikwad, 5 KL Rahul (WK), 6 Naman Dhir, 7 Nitish Kumar Reddy, 8 Ravindra Jadeja, 9 Kuldeep Yadav, 10 Gurnoor Brar, 11 Prasidh Krishna
Sherfane Rutherford missed the first game between these two for personal reasons but could return for this one, most likely in place of Jewel Andrew.
