India vs West Indies Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

We predict this series with a result of 2-1 where Team India will have an upper hand. Players like Yashashvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Surya Kumar Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Shai Hope, Rovman Powell, Oshane Thomas and Alzarri Joseph are key players to watch out for.

India vs West Indies Match Toss Prediction

Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados doesn’t have a good batting track as there is issue in ball coming on the bat. At a slow pitch like this it's always tough to bat on when you will have very less short pitch and half pitch deliveries. In the second inning it gets more tough so the team winning the toss would like to bat first and put 280+ runs on the board.

Weather Report

On 27th July forecast prediction there at Barbados. Sky will be partially cloudy throughout the day. Temperature is expected to be around 31 degree celsius and humidity will be around 79%.

India vs West Indies Top Team Batsmen

Looking at the recent form of Yashashvi Jaiswal, he will be the key player for India. After playing some brilliant knocks in the IPL, he smashed 171 runs in his debut test match and a fantastic fifty in the second test match. Another player to watch out for is Mr. 360 degree Surya Kumar Yadav who has the ability to play all around the ground and may trouble the West Indies players a lot.

West Indies team will rely on the opening batsmen Brandon King and Kyle Mayers. Team needs a good opening partnership with these two to put the challenging score on the board.

India vs West Indies Top Team Bowler

Mohammad Siraj will take the command of the Indian pace attack, and the team will rely on him for some early breakthrough. Yajuvendra Chahal may trouble the opponents with his spin bowling in the middle overs

The West Indies team will depend on some good spells from Alzarri Joseph. He has picked 16 wickets against India in 10 ODI matches.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: India

Team India had an impressive performance in all formats of the game. They want to continue playing with a winning attitude in the white ball format as well. Outstanding players include Yashashvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The middle order will be strengthened by Hardik Pandya and Surya Kumar Yadav's return. Mohammad Siraj, Umran Malik, Ravindra Jadeja and Yuzvendra Chahal have the ability to have control over Caribbean batters. West Indies, on the other hand, had a very disappointing season, even though they failed to qualify for the ODI World Cup. Having these in mind, Team India has several advantages over hosts and we predict an easy victory in this game.

  • India to win @ 1.23
  • West Indies to win @ 4.40
