India and West Indies will play in the 1st T20I of India vs West Indies ODI Series 2023, to be held at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad on 3 August, 8:00 PM IST onwards.

After making a comeback in the 2^nd one-dayer, West Indies seems to have lost track once again. Both batsmen and bowlers failed the team once again. The team barely reached the halfway mark of the total set by Indian batsmen in the 2^nd IND vs WI ODI.

However, it is time for the hosts to get over the embarrassing performance in the tests and ODIs, and reclaim their lost pride by putting up a great show in the last of the India tour of the West Indies.

The team looks up its key T20 specialists including Kyle Mayers, Shimron Hetmyer, Johnson Charles, and Nicholas Pooran. In the recently concluded IPL tournament, these players have shown what they are capable of. It is time WI leaves its test and OPI woes behind, recollects its strength, and digs a dent in the visitors’ pride before they depart for their homeland.

IND vs WI Dream11 Prediction

Unlike Tests and ODIs, it is difficult to write off the West Indies from the IND vs WI T20I series too. When it comes to T20s, WI looks like a different team. With the kind of all-rounders they have, they can ride past over any team in the world.

However, it will still be difficult for them to beat a side that has players Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and of course Hardik Pandya among other talents.

So the verdict is India has a better chance of winning the game, but not until they give their all to the match.

Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from West Indies
