Find out all you need to know about the clash between the sides in Visakhapatnam...
West Indies continue their tour of India in the second of three one-day internationals, with a win for the visitors set to secure their first series victory on Indian soil in over 17 years.
FIRST ODI: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai – West Indies won by eight wickets
SECOND ODI: Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam (Wednesday, December 15, 1:30pm local time, 8am GMT)
THIRD ODI: Barabati Stadium, Cuttack (Sunday, December 22, 1:30pm local time, 8am GMT)
Virat Kohli's team heads to Visakhapatnam needing to put in a strong display to maintain a chance of winning their 10th consecutive ODI series with the West Indies.
An eight-wicket defeat for the hosts in Chennai on Sunday will provide cause for concern, with India's spinners going wicketless against centurions Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope.
However, the side did emerge 2-1 victors in the T20 portion of the tour earlier this month, and 70-plus scores from Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer were a bright spot in the series opener.
Shivam Dube's place could be under threat after an ODI debut to forget, scoring just nine before conceding 68 runs in 7.5 overs.
India's injury list also remains lengthy, with Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah still absent with back problems.
A persistent knee injury has again kept Shikhar Dhawan out of contention, with Mayank Agarwal in the squad and looking to make his India white-ball debut in his place.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar also misses out with a groin complaint, replaced by Shardul Thakur in the squad on the eve of Sunday's series opener.
India: Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, Shivam Dube, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur
West Indies: Kieron Pollard (c), Sunil Ambris, Roston Chase, Sheldon Cottrell, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keemo Paul, Khary Pierre, Nicholas Pooran, Romario Shepherd, Hayden Walsh Jr
India remain favourites with the bookies despite defeat in Chennai, with Dafabet offering 1/4 for Virat Kohli's side to bounce back in style. The West Indies are available at 11/4 to wrap up the series with a game to play.
Under the leadership of Kieron Pollard, the West Indies' fresh-faced white-ball side is one on the up.
A miserable World Cup campaign now seems firmly banished in the memory, having swept last month's ODI series with Afghanistan in Lucknow and taking Sunday's opener in Chennai in convincing fashion.
Centuries from Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope led the visitors to an eight-wicket victory, demonstrating the side no longer relies solely on the firepower of Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis in order to bat opponents out of the game.
A slight shadow was cast on the victory after match referee David Boon issued players with substantial fines for over rate violations, however no further punishments were issued to either Pollard or his team.
A win in Visakhapatnam would secure the West Indies' first ODI series win in India since 2002, where Gayle's 455 runs in seven innings and a Marlon Samuels ton in Vijayawada secured a famous win over Sourav Ganguly's side.
Forecasts suggest another sunny and clear day, with morning clouds dispersing ahead of the 1:30pm start time and temperatures cooling below the 25 degree mark as the game heads under lights.
The Star Sports network will broadcast the entire series in both India and the UK. The three matches will also be available to stream online via Hotstar.
