MATCH PREVIEW
WEST INDIES
- The West Indian players are very familiar with the Indian players since so many of them play in the IPL. West Indies also had a pretty good ODI series against India earlier this year.
- We don’t have much hope from them in this match, though. The West Indian batting has depended on individual brilliance to carry them through instead of a deliberate plan.
- Against the Indian batting, the West Indies bowling will hope to have their best day of the tournament so far.
- The West Indies have a lot of players that are good for small cameos, but they need a couple of match-winning knocks now.

INDIA
- India’s top order has been scoring runs against each and every opponent but early wickets lost in world cup showed just how India can be beaten.
- Against the West Indies, India is going to face with weak bowling attack so the opportunity to fine-tune the batting order is still there.
- While India’s batting is still coming together and their bowling has been brilliant.

PROBABLE WINNING TEAM:
The home team is well equipped with all power-hitters right down to their batting order and the short boundaries at Lauderhill will make their job a lot easier. But when we dig into the individual player stats and team stats India has a slight edge over West Indies. But its a T20 game nothing can be predicted in a shorter game.
