· Sports · Indian Express, Sportstar
India's bowling attack conceded 405 runs for 7 wickets against West Indies during the second ODI match in Guwahati on Wednesday. West Indies batter Amir Jangoo scored a century, while Shai Hope and John Campbell dominated India's bowling lineup on a flat red-soil surface. India played without senior seamers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, as well as spin-bowling all-rounder Axar Patel. Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna struggled with his discipline and lengths, conceding 22 runs in a single over to Campbell as the visitors accelerated. The innings featured 405 runs, 38 fours, 12 sixes, and 20 wides, exposing serious limitations in India's bowling depth a year ahead of the World Cup.
Why it matters
The heavy bowling defeat exposes a lack of wicket-taking options and tactical flexibility in India's reserves, complicating squad selection decisions one year before the World Cup.
