The series decider ODI in West Indies would be a testament to India’s strong comeback. India to comeback strong to win this ODI Series in the West Indies once again. Throughout their recent cricketing history, India has maintained an almost impeccable record in bilateral series, boasting an impressive win rate, close to 100%. This exceptional track record has not been hindered by the absence of key players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Despite this, the Indian team remained undeterred and determined to prove their mettle against the home side. The Aug 1 ODI on Tuesday would open a new chapter, surely.
The West Indies team is unaware of India’s formidable bowling attack, approached the match with caution and respect. However, they noticed the need to play strategically and responsibly in order to level the three-match ODI series, which now stands at 1-1. It was evident from the outset that the momentum is still in India’s favor.
The Indian team, known for their consistent performances and dominance in all formats of cricket, showcased oppositely. Their poor performance prowess on the field last time in second ODI, wasn’t needs to blamed. One game can’t decide which team is better. However, they played the second ODI in West Indies like a minnow. Also, while chasing a small target in the first ODI, India lost too many wickets. But this is not the end.
As the ODI series progressed, it became increasingly clear that West Indies would have to display an extraordinary level of cricket if they’re determined to defeat India and secure a 2-1 victory. The West Indies team has had a reputation for faltering when it matters most, often succumbing to inconsistency in crucial moments.
While they possessed the talent and potential to challenge India, executing their skills consistently remains again a challenge. The pressure would be mounting the West Indies team as India would resume to display their dominance on the pitch. India would be at their best from Aug 1 onwards. Watchout for the BIG games!.
The Indian bowlers, not in top-form, but were consistently outsmarted the opponents and restricted their scoring opportunities. India was and will be good, both in batting and bowling.
The selection was clearly very poor this time. Resting Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, not so good tactic.
Here in the Carribean, with each moment of success, India’s confidence would grow. Further cementing their position as the top cricketing nation across all formats. As the ODI series reached its climax, it becomes evident that India’s strong comeback is inevitable.
The West Indies team, despite showing glimpses of brilliance, would not maintain the required consistency to overpower team India. In the end, India would emerge victorious, solidifying their reputation as a force to be reckoned in international cricket.
This series decider would expose India’s inconsistent players and their determination. A wakeup call for India, right before the Asia Cup and ICC World Cup 2023. Sept and Oct are the months to eliminate the doubts that India is far behind or far ahead from the rest of the world. Also to shed light on the challenges faced by the West Indies team in terms of consistency.
It served as a reminder that success in cricket requires more than just talent. It demands the ability to perform under pressure.
As both teams left the field, India might have learned a lot from the well-deserved West Indies victory. The West Indies team would need to introspect and work towards overcoming their inconsistency if they want to compete at the highest level. West Indies did their best with minimal resources and least experienced players.
Surely, India to comeback strong. Every cricket fan knows better than all the critics and the impatient former cricketers, who just criticized India a lot. India has the potential to win deciders or must win games to comeback strongly.
The Asia Cup 2023 is round the corner and team India would not disappoint anymore. Wait for couple of days and then criticize!. But everyone would appreciate finally and would rephrase to what they told. India to comeback strong in the series decider ODI on Aug 1. Let’s wait and see. Read more related posts too.
