West Indies Smash ODI Record with 405/7 vs India
30 Sep
Summary
- West Indies shattered their ODI record by scoring 405/7.
- Three centurions powered the historic West Indies total.
- India must chase a record-breaking score to win.
The West Indies have rewritten ODI record books, achieving their highest-ever score of 405/7 against India on Wednesday. This landmark total was built on brilliant centuries from Amir Jangoo (114), Shai Hope (104), and John Campbell (101).
John Campbell initiated the onslaught with a rapid 101 off 68 balls, setting a blazing tone early in the innings. Skipper Shai Hope capitalized on dropped chances to score a well-crafted 104, while Amir Jangoo provided a sensational late flourish with an unbeaten 114 off just 77 deliveries.
India's bowling attack, including debutant Auqib Nabi, struggled to contain the relentless power-hitting. Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav all conceded heavily, with Nabi conceding 84 runs, the most by an Indian debutant in ODIs.
The visitors' previous record score was 389 against England in 2019. This exceptional batting display means India faces a significant challenge to chase down this imposing total, especially with potential dew affecting play later in the match.
