India: Yet to bat

Scorecard

West Indies dominated India’s bowlers to pile up their highest ever total in one-day internationals.

John Campbell (101), Shai Hope (104) and Amir Jangoo (114) all struck centuries in the tourists’ 405-7 in the second ODI in Guwahati.

It is only the sixth time in ODI history that a team has had three centurions in one innings and the Windies’ total eclipses their previous best of 389, scored against England at St George’s in 2019.

Campbell and Hope put on 110 in 79 balls for the second wicket, before a huge third-wicket partnership of 182 between Hope and Jangoo set the platform for a recrod total.

Left-handed opener Campbell struck five sixes in his rapid century and took 22 off one Prasidh Krishna over.

India bowlers Krishna and Naman Dhir picked up injuries while paceman Auqib Nabi had a debut to forget – conceding 84 runs, the fourth-most by an Indian winning his first ODI cap.

West Indies’ performance comes less than a week since news that their players must take a 25% pay cut as part of wider cost-saving measures.

The two-time World Cup winners are also facing a battle to qualify directing for next year’s competition, having been consigned to a qualifier in early 2027.
