West Indies vs India Team Preview

West Indies

In March, West Indies defeated South Africa by 7 runs to win the series 2-1. The host team is strongest in this format; therefore, they plan to keep India in this matchup.

Despite only losing by one match in both the Test and ODI series, the West Indies had been outplayed for most of India’s tour. Nicholas Pooran and Akeal Hosein are fresh off their participation in the 2023 Major League Cricket competition.

India

In their most recent T20I match, India defeated New Zealand by 168 runs, bowling out the Black Caps for 66 while holding them to a 234-4 total. They have chosen a capable team for this series.

Hardik Pandya will skipper the side in this series, building on his performance in the previous two ODIs on this tour. Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and KL Rahul are all out with injuries, though Bumrah is expected to return on the next tour.

India tour of West Indies 2023 Cricket Prediction | 1st T20I: West Indies vs India

West Indies won the toss and decided to field in the only prior T20I at this location but lost the match. Given the unfavorable weather prediction, we anticipate that both sides will want to bat first.

Throughout the match, some thunderstorms are expected. From start to finish, expect significant humidity and temperatures in the low 30s.

This surface will provide plenty of turn for spinners and some help for quick bowlers if they place the ball correctly. A par score of 175-180 is expected.
