Match Preview
After displaying sheer dominance and brilliant class in the Test as well as ODI series, the Men in Blue are set to take on their rivals in the T20I series commencing on August 3. It goes without saying that after winning two consecutive series, the Indian men are riding high on confidence, whereas the Caribbeans are having a tough time. Though the Windies did manage to make a comeback in the second ODI against India, their effort fell short as the Indian giants regained the control and won the ODI series 2-1. For the upcoming T20I series, Hardik Pandya will lead the Men in Blue, whereas Rovman Powell will lead the West Indies squad.
Toss Prediction
The last time West Indies and India locked horns in the T20I series was in July-August 2022. During that 5-match series, the hosts, West Indies, managed to win the toss battle 3-2 against the Indian boys. Hence, it can be said that the home-ground factor added to the luck of the Windies’ and they won three of the five tosses. Depending on the same factor, we feel that in the upcoming game as well, the hosts will win the toss.
Win Possibility
India and West Indies have faced each other in 25 matches in T20I, out of which 17 have been won by India, and in seven games, the West Indies managed to secure a win. It clearly shows that the 2007 T20I World Cup winners have always had an upper hand over their rivals. Not only this, if we speak about the current scenario also, the Indian team has proved its dominance in the last two series. On the basis of this, we feel the Men in Blue will win the upcoming game as well.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The first inning score of the first T20I between West Indies and India can be expected around 140-150, and the powerplay score can hover around 40-45 runs.
