India have not lost two consecutive ODI series at home in over 15 years. Today, they have the task of avoiding this, while at the same time avoiding their fifth straight defeat at home.

They have never lost five straight ODIs at home, so West Indies have a shot at history. Led by Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer, the Windies put on a clinic on a turning track in Chennai, and have the chance to finish 2019 on a high with an ODI series win in India.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

  • Shai Hope is enjoying a superb two years in ODI cricket. He has scored 2,100 runs at 63.64 since the start of 2018.
  • Incredibly, Hope averages 116.20 in nine ODIs in India (581 runs). He scored 123* in the incredible tie at Visakhapatnam one year ago.
  • Shimron Hetmyer has performed admirably vs India in India: 106, 94, 37, 13, 9 and 139.
  • Virat Kohli has scored 556 runs at an average of 139 Visakhapatnam (three centuries, a 99 and a 65 in five outings).
  • Rohit Sharma’s last four scores vs West Indies: 18, 18, 10, 36.
  • Kuldeep Yadav at Visakhapatnam: 2 matches, 6 wickets, average: 18.16.
  • Jason Holder at this ground: 1/113 in 16 overs. Keemo Paul has 10 wickets in his last five outings for West Indies. Sheldon Cottrell has taken seven wickets in his last four ODIs.

Chasing team to win?

West Indies enjoyed chasing last time out, and India have an excellent record when chasing. Also, when you consider the team batting first has won just one of the last six matches on this ground, the trend could continue.
