Kensington Oval Bridgetown Barbados

IND vs WI Preview

In the three-day Dominica Test, the home team was thoroughly destroyed. Although they put up a stronger effort at Port of Spain, India was in control for the entire Test. The weather had the final laugh at Queen’s Park Oval, denying India of a full shot at the WTC points. Curtains are thus drawn down for the red ball and this Test has produced 4 WTC points for both teams. The first two ODIs will be played in Barbados, where the action now moves. As India gets ready for the 2023 World Cup, the three-match series is anticipated to draw in more viewers.

The Caribbean team, on the other hand, will be hoping for a new beginning after experiencing a low point in the 50-over format by failing to qualify for the World Cup. The first ODI is to commence on Thursday, July 27.
