The first Test of the two-match series between West Indies and India is set to take place from July 12 onwards at the Windsor Park in Roseau, Dominica. The hosts will be looking to build on their good Test form at home, having not lost a match in their last five outings. Their opponents are coming off a tough loss in the WTC 2023 Final against Australia at The Oval in London last month.
West Indies have built on their home successes in the longest format of the game on the back of their inspiring leader Kraigg Braithwaite. The revolution of Jermaine Blackwood as a consistent run scorer has been a welcome change for the Caribbean Kings. Jason Holder and Joshua Da Silva bring multiple facets of the game to the table, to help bolster the first XI of West Indies by leaps and bounds.
Rohit Sharma has been a constant at the top of the order in Tests for India, irrespective of the tough results endured by the team in recent times. Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane have shown glimpses of their former self, which is something Team India desperately needs in the upcoming WTC 2023-25 campaign. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are still the most valuable bowling pair for the Indians in the longest format.
Talking about the weather forecast for the upcoming Test match in Roseau, Dominica, the first day is expected to have some sun, but also some showers in places, according to AccuWeather. The maximum temperature is expected to reach 31 degree Celsius, while the real feel could be 36 degree Celsius.
The probability of precipitation stands at 55% and the probability of thunderstorms is 16%. With that, it can be said that the fans will be able to see a considerable amount of cricket on day 1 of the first Test match between West Indies and India.
