The Queen's Park Oval's pitch has historically favored quick bowlers while giving hitters considerably easier scoring opportunities in the first two innings. The Queen's Park Oval deck is anticipated to help the pace bowlers in some capacity, particularly in the early hours and with the new ball, in contrast to the previous Test match where the ball spun from the first day. At the venue, spinners will also have a voice. Average first inning total is 304 runs here. Team winning the toss will like to bat first.

Team looks out of track in this red ball cricket. In the previous match they were behind the line in every segment of the game. Caribbeans have had disappointing performances with both bat and ball.

India vs West Indies Top Team Batsmen
Having an outstanding debut Yashashvi Jaiswal is brilliant with his 171 runs inning. Looking at his form in the IPL and now in red ball format, the team will have so many expectations from him. Anjikya Rahane is another player to watch out for as he battled alone with his 89 and 46 runs in the WTC final.
Top scorer from the previous match Alick Athanaze will be the reliable player for the hosts. Experienced Kraigg Brathwaite will be another player to rely on, who has scored 5323 runs in 84 test matches.
India vs West Indies Top Team Bowler
Indian spinners once again did the magic for the team. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja claimed 12 and 5 wickets respectively in the previous match. They might be trouble once again for the West Indies batters at Old Trafford pitch.
West Indies bowlers are not so impressive in this series but the team will rely on Alzarri Joseph who will take the command of WI bowling attack. Off Spinner Rahkeem Cornwall may also be effective at the spin friendly caribbean wicket.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: India
India has been outstanding in the red ball format. After winning the Gavaskar-Border trophy, they lost against Australia in the WTC final but the team won yet again. Indian Spin Duo Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are good enough to scatter the inexperienced Caribbean batting line up. They both picked 17 wickets together in the previous test. In the batting department Yashasvi Jaiswal had a fantastic debut with 171 runs, team India will also be benefited with the experience of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. West Indies had a flop show in both batting and bowling in the last game. Having an eye on all these aspects, India have various advantages over them and we anticipate 2-0 whitewash of Carebians.
- India to win @ 1.04
- West Indies to win @ 11
- Draw @ 3.98
