India Decide to Bowl in 2nd One-dayer

Visakhapatnam: Indian captain Virender Sehwag won the toss and decided to bowl against West Indies in the second one-dayer at the ACA-VDCA stadium in Visakhapatnam.

A mild drizzle had delayed the toss and the covers were brought on, but was later removed.

After narrowly escaping defeat in the series opener, India would look to guard against complacency and hope for an improved showing from their batsmen on Friday.

India are unchanged while one change for West Indies - Ravi Rampaul replaces the spinner Anthony Martin.

No reduction in overs.

Teams:

India: Parthiv Patel (wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, R Vinay Kumar, Varun Aaron, Umesh Yadav

West Indies: Lendl Simmons, Adrian Barath, Danza Hyatt, Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Andre Russell, Dammy Sammy, Kemar Roach, Ravi Rampaul
