WI vs IND | India set record for most consecutive bilateral ODI series wins against a team

India secured yet another ODI bilateral series win over West Indies with a two-wicket win on Sunday.

India have achieved a new feat with their victory over West Indies on Sunday as they now have the record for the most consecutive bilateral ODI series wins against a team.

The second ODI between India and West Indies saw the visitors clinch the series with another nail-biting finish. The Indian team had won the first match of the series by three runs on Friday.

The hosts came out strong in the first innings with Shai Hope being the star of the show. Playing his 100th ODI, the wicketkeeper-batter scored a fine century to set the platform for West Indies to get a huge score. He received support from skipper Nicholas Pooran, who scored 74 runs. There were useful contributions from the likes of Kyle Mayers and Shamarh Brooks as the hosts scored 311 runs in their allotted 50 overs.

India got off to a slow start in their quest to chase down the target and lost Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav with just 79 runs on the board in 17.2 overs. Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer came together to steady the ship and swing the match in India's favour.

However, West Indies fought back and ensured that we had another thrilling finish in the series. But Axar Patel's incredible 35-ball 64 ensured that the visitors got over the line and clinched the series with a game to spare.

The win on Sunday helped India set a new record as they have won the most consecutive bilateral ODI series wins against a team. The Indian team stretched their winning streak to 12 over the West Indies. They achieved this feat during the course of 2007-22.

This meant the Indian team leapfrogged Pakistan, who had won 11 consecutive series against Zimbabwe from 1996 to 2021.
