IND vs WI: Ground Pitch Report

The surface in Thiruvananthapuram is flat and is excellent to bat on. Early on, the fast bowlers can get good assistance, and the overcast conditions will help them also. But overall, this is a complete batting track and a high-scoring one.

IND vs WI: Possible XIs

India: Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Gurnoor Brar, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna

West Indies: John Campbell, Keacy Carty, Amir Jangoo, Shai Hope (c & wk), Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Justin Greaves, Gudakesh Motie, Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph

IND vs WI: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Virat Kohli slammed 160+ last time he batted at this venue. He is in excellent form this year also and will be India's main weapon. For West Indies, a lot rely on the performance of captain Shai Hope.

Probable Best Bowler

Kuldeep Yadav has done well against West Indies in the past, and the inability to play spin for West Indian batters makes him a dangerous bowler. Shamar Joseph brings extra zip in the bowling unit, and he can be uncanny at times.

Today Match Prediction: The record, home conditions, and momentum are with India. Hence, we predict India to win the first ODI.
