Men in Blue led by Rohit Sharma registered a 5-wicket win in the series opener to take a 1-0 lead at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on Thursday (July 27), but Shai Hope’s bounced back to beat a Hardik Pandy-led Team by 6 wickets at the same venue on Saturday (July 29).
Rohit and Virat Kohli sat out of the match as India brought in Axar Patel and Sanju Samson. Despite a struggle in the first ODI, India chased down a paltry 115, but failed to follow up with a better batting display, folding up for 181 from 90 for no loss.

In response, skipper Hope smashed an unbeaten 63 and shared a 91-run stand with Keacy Cartey (48*) to take the home side across the line with 6 wickets in hand and 13.2 overs to spare. Shardul Thakur (3 for 42) and Kuldeep Yadav (1 for 30) were the wicket takers for India.
