The first ODI of the series was a party pooper. It spoilt the 10$-10000$ challenge as well (I'll reboot it soon).
In the previous ODI's analysis I have mentioned that, the West Indies squad, when it was announced, sounded pretty good to me after many years. I just went with Indian team only after WI's practice match performances were bad. Even when 322 was set as target, I thought, with smaller boundaries in Kochi ground and dew factor Indians will win.
Indian team is made of many players from Chennai Super Kings. As this series begins after CL T20 fatigue is a huge concern, already Mohit Sharma is injured and out of this series.
Also the opening and middle order players are not looking in good form, Dhawan, Kohli and Rayudu has to step up. Spin department's unacceptable performance is a huge concern.
West Indies bowling department isn't as threatening as it looks based on the previous match scorecard. Indian batsman just threw their wickets away. But their batting department really is threatening.
Tip
To be posted after toss.
Update
