Rainy weather is quite common in this part of the world at this time of the year. Although the sun may make a brief appearance during the second ODI, but the day is expected to be dominated by grey skies. Because the second Test of India’s tour of West Indies 2023 was also hampered by poor weather, both the teams would be wanting for the same to not happen in the second ODI.
The pitch of the first match was on the slower side where the spinners dominated the proceedings. Looking at the weather, overcast conditions and moisture on the wicket, it might favour the pacers on Saturday. The surface is expected to stay under the covers ahead of the match.
