WI vs IND Match Preview

West Indies has a strong batting lineup and it has been able to use that to its advantage. The players go hard from the very start and don't really care about losing wickets, which is the modern way of playing T20 cricket. Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell are the top scorers for West Indies in the series and they also have the most sixes to their name. 

These two names should be certainties in your Dream11 lineup.

We saw Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer make valuable contributions in the previous match as well. With players like Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, and even Akeal Hosein coming down the order, West Indies has the edge when it comes to sheer batting depth. 

We would stay shy of the West Indian bowlers as none of them have really stood out. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal has taken to international cricket like a duck to water and immediately becomes a must-have in your fantasy lineup. Gill scored runs, SKY is back in form, and Tilak Varma has been an absolute revelation. Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson, and Axar patel give India a lot oif solid options till number seven followed by essentially four number elevens!

A lot of great batters to choose from then. 

Among the bowlers, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are the best options but Arshdeep Singh could be someone to consider also. 

Weather Report

There is a bit of rain in the air and we may have some interruptions if luck is not on our side.

Pitch Report

The pitch is flat, a bit slow in nature, and tends to help the spinners. The outfield is not big and there are a lot of opportunities for sixes to be smashed. 

A score of around 160-170 seems to be par but teams batting first will probably be unhappy with anything less than 190. 

Notable stats

Kuldeep Yadav's Brilliance

Kuldeep Yadav has picked up six wickets in this T20 series while being the most economical bowler for India! An excellent option for a vice-captain or even the captain as the pitch in Florida helps the spinners.

Dream11 Prediction

We think India has the side to be able to win this match and the series. The contest could be closer than first imagined but India has the superior team. 

Top Picks

Yashasvi Jaiswal: In supreme form and a match-winning 84 not out in the previous match behin him, Jaiswal is someone you absolutely must pick. He is a good option for the captain as well. 

Shai Hope: An excellent player of spin, Hope scored 41 in the previous match and counter-attacked brilliantly. he could well be asked to play that same role once more. 

Kuldeep Yadav: The left-arm wrist-spin of Kuldeep Yadav has been magical to watch. he has not shied away from any contest and always goes for wickets. That is invaluable from a fantasy point of view.
