After the run-fest in Guwahati, India and West Indies will take their battle to the port city of Visakhapatnam. Wednesday's encounter will be their third meeting at Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, with one win each.
India won the first meeting on December 2, 2011, by five wickets with the man of the match Virat Kohli scoring 117 off 123 balls. Windies won the second by two wickets in the last over, thanks to Darren Sammy's 63 off 45 balls.
In 2014, a match between the two sides was cancelled due to a cyclone.
Ahead of the match, we look at some key numbers:
