IND vs WI 5th T20I, Cricket Tips: The fightback shown by West Indies in the ongoing five-match T20I series against India is commendable. Not many predicted that the No. 7-ranked T20I side would give a tough team to the world champions in their own conditions.

That has certainly raised the excitement bar for the series decider. The final game will begin at 7 PM IST on Saturday at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. West Indies have never won a bilateral T20I series in India, and this is a golden chance for Shai Hope and his men.

India will be under pressure, and the injury to Arshdeep Singh must have broken their combination. But Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back on the side, and his experience will be important at this stage.

IND vs WI: Ground Pitch Report

Just like the matches on this tour, the wicket in Bengaluru is also flat. It is a six-hitting venue and a paradise for the batters. This venue has nothing for the bowlers and it will be difficult to defend a total here.

IND vs WI: Possible XIs

India: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Axar Patel, Mayank Yadav, Prince Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar

West Indies: Jewel Andrew, Shai Hope (c & wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Keemo Paul, Shamar Springer, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie

IND vs WI: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Shai Hope has bagged multiple MOTM awards on this tour, and India have found it tough to get him out. Sanju Samson has slammed two 20-ball half-centuries, and on his day, he can be unstoppable.

Probable Best Bowler

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Roston Chase will be two bankable bowlers for this game from either side.

Today Match Prediction: West Indies will be high on confidence, but we might see India strengthening their bowling unit. That is where we give India an edge in the final game.
