How the first ODI went
West Indies batted first and made 295 for 7. Openers Justin Greaves and John Campbell put on 135 in 19.2 overs. Campbell made 62, and Greaves scored 101, his first ODI hundred. Kuldeep Yadav took 4 for 40 to pull the total back.
India reached 300 for 2 in 41.4 overs. Captain Shubman Gill made 110. Virat Kohli finished on 139 not out from 88 balls, his 55th ODI century. Along the way he reached 15,000 ODI runs, becoming only the second player after Sachin Tendulkar to get there.
Team changes for Guwahati
India made one change: pace bowler Auqib Nabi made his ODI debut and all-rounder Nitish Reddy was left out. West Indies made four changes. Greaves missed the match with a calf injury, so Keacy Carty opened the batting in his place. Sherfane Rutherford, Keemo Paul, Shamar Joseph and Vitel Lawes came into the side.
What we could not confirm
- The second ODI result: The match was still in progress when this was written, so no score is given here. West Indies batted first after losing the toss.
- Gill's balls faced and the Gill-Kohli partnership: Reports differ slightly (for example, 107 or 108 balls), so those figures are not used.
