IND vs WI 2nd ODI | Toss at 01:00 pm IST

 

The toss between the two sides, India and West Indies will take place at 01:00 pm IST. The toss plays a crucial role in the sense that after winning the toss, every team looks to field first to take advantage of the dew which will be present in the second innings. Batting in dew is a big advantage as the ball gripping for spinners become difficult due to wet outfield and the wet ball comes on to bat quite nicely. Strokemaking thus becomes easier.
