WI look to turn the tide in ODI series

The West Indies squad will be all business today in the first ODI against India at the Providence National Stadium.

For the first time in three decades India will play a One-Day International (ODI) in Guyana when they turn up at the National Stadium, Providence today looking for a positive start in the three-match series against West Indies.

Beaten 3-0 in the preceding T20 series, the West Indies team will be pushing for better fortunes in the 50-over format and will want to keep an eye on their Achilles heel- their batting.

Only twice have these two sides played on the South American continent, first in 1983 at Albion, Berbice when India won by 27 runs and then in 1989 at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground, Bourda where the hosts won by 101 runs.
