Only the second time in the history of cricket, a score of 400 or more was chased down successfully, and India did it in style with 39 balls to spare in the second ODI; Captain Shubman Gill cracked his second ODI double hundred and broke several batting records. He was equally supported by Rohit Sharma, who scored his 35th ODI ton, while West Indies posted centuries from John Campbell (101), Shai Hope (104), and Amir Jangoo (114). India have taken a 2-0 unassailable lead and will be aiming for a 3-0 whitewash.
The forecast for Saturday afternoon in New Chandigarh predicts clear and sunny conditions. The highest temperature of 33°C and an average humidity of 49 percent. Just like the first two ODIs, the wicket for the final game is pretty flat. It is a high-scoring venue, and the way two teams have batted so far, we can expect another 300+ score. The ball will come good onto the bat, and the only way bowlers can get into the game is when the ball gets old.
