West Indies posted their highest-ever ODI total of 405 for 7 against India in the second ODI at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday, 30 September. The visitors crossed 400 for the first time in the format, powered by centuries from Amir Jangoo (114 off 77 balls), Shai Hope (104 off 94) and John Campbell (101 off 68). Campbell’s fifty in 29 balls was the fastest by a West Indian against India in ODIs.

India won the toss and chose to bowl, handing pacer Auqib Nabi his ODI debut. India lead the three-match series 1-0 after an eight-wicket win in Thiruvananthapuram. With dew expected later, India face a steep chase on a flat pitch with short boundaries.
Both Deccan Herald and Telangana Today delivered neutral straight reporting of the record total, with no discernible slant. Deccan Herald led with the score and a compact summary, while Telangana Today provided richer detail on individual innings, the dropped catches off Hope, and Kuldeep Yadav claiming his 200th ODI wicket. The coverage is uniform and factual, the only difference is depth. The key question now is whether India can chase 405, with dew and small boundaries as factors both reports noted.
