WI vs IND Preview

- While West Indies only had one wicket in the game, Indian spinners took 5 wickets.
On Sunday morning at Lauderhill’s Central Broward Regional Park, West Indies and India play their final match of a five-game IT20 series. India won the last game on Saturday by a score of 59 runs, clinching the series and taking a 3-1 advantage into this one. In Florida, the game starts at 10:30 local time.
While West Indies had a few encouraging moments on Saturday, the team mostly appeared defeated. The unpalatable fact is that India is a much stronger team with ball and bat.
India chose an XI with a longer tail than in prior games on Saturday, but the top order appeared unaffected, playing aggressively as usual. Few West Indies batsmen have been able to handle Indian bowlers.
WI vs IND Weather Report
It would be unexpected if the weather causes a startling delay in the game, as it did before the fourth IT20. Soon after the rain stops, you can count on scorching sunshine to quickly dry out any damp areas.
WI vs IND Match Toss Prediction
After winning the toss, West Indies decided to bowl first to take advantage of any wetness on the pitch. We anticipate that both skippers will approach this game with the same mindset and desire to field first, although they did not make any early breakthroughs and similar weather is predicted.
WI vs IND Pitch Report
On Saturday, the pace bowlers claimed most of the wickets on this surface. There were 15 sixes, and we anticipate this match to include many more peaks.
West Indies Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Even though West Indies lost the series’ most lopsided game when batting second, we do not anticipate any lineup changes, barring any last-minute injuries. For the game on Saturday, they stuck with the same lineup that was defeated by seven wickets, and it appears that these are the men the visitors plan to centre their lineup around.

India is the favourite to win this match.
Although the series has been close at times, India has been the superior team and deserves to enter this final game with an insurmountable lead. With the burden off, West Indies may put on their best series-long performance with the bat, but we are still backing India to win this decisive game.
