West Indies captain Kieron Pollard won the toss Wednesday and sent India in to bat as he chased a series-clinching victory in the second one-day international.
West Indies won the opening game by eight wickets in Chennai and will be aiming to seal the three-match series with a game to spare.
The pitch is expected to play better than in the previous game, when dew played a major role in West Indies’ successful chase.
