WI vs IND Match Preview:
India (IND) and West Indies (WI) will clash in the first fixture of the bilateral ODI series at Queen’s Park Oval. India are coming into this series with a second-string squad, and the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah are few of the absentees. However, there are few players like Suryakumar Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, and skipper Shikhar Dhawan, who will be confident of their abilities after a win in the ODI series against England.
On the other hand, WI faced a defeat to Bangladesh in their last bilateral 50-over series and would have a large scope of improvement. They will look to find the contributions from Jason Holder and Nicholas Pooran.
