The first ODI was abandoned after 39.2 overs with India reaching 199 for 3 when persistent showers played spoilsport.
Shikhar Dhawan's 87 and comeback-man Ajinkya Rahane's 62 were the highlights of the Indian innings.
While weather is not in their control, what will keep Virat Kohli a touch worried is Yuvraj's form which doesn't exactly inspire confidence of the highest order.
After a half-century against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy opener, Yuvraj's sequence of scores has been 7 (vs Sri Lanka), 23 not out (vs South Africa), 22 (vs Pakistan in CT final) and 4 (1st ODI vs WI).

For Rahane, the half-century will be a confidence booster, knowing fully well that he will have to vacate the top spot once Rohit Sharma is back during the next limited overs assignment.
Come to think of it, even Dhawan's second coming has been largely due to KL Rahul's shoulder surgery and he has made full use of the opportunity since the start of the Champions Trophy.
After emerging as the top-scorer in England winning the 'Golden Bat', Dhawan has carried his form into the Caribbean islands, which augurs well both for him and his team.
Kuldeep was handed a debut during the first match in place of Ravindra Jadeja, who didn't have a great Champions Trophy with the ball.
Jadeja still remains the country's premier left-arm spinner but the West Indies series is an ideal platform to test youngsters.
