WI Playing 11 for India vs West Indies T20I 2023; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips for IND vs WI Dream11 Team Prediction

India and West Indies will play in the 5^th T20I of India vs West Indies T20I Series 2023, to be held at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill on 13^th August 2023, 8:00 PM IST onwards.

West Indies had started the T20I series on a brilliant note, winning the first 2 games in a row. But, India came back strongly, registering wins in 3^rd and 4^th T20. Now that the series is leveled, it would be interesting to see if WI players rise to the occasion and save grace for their team in an otherwise forgettable season for them.

The good thing they have is a good team to accomplish this possible feat. While Mayers and King are in good touch, Hope, Pooran, and Hetmyer are hitting the ball well too. The hosts would look to play like a unit as individual performances would not be enough to challenge the mighty Indians, with devastating players like Gill and Surya.

It can’t be a better contest for the fans where both teams have won 2 of the last 4 games played against each other. So make your arrangement to make the most of this exciting nail-biting contest.

IND vs WI Dream11 Prediction

While India was the favorite at the start of the series, West Indies looks like an equal after beating India in the first two IND vs WI T20I games. It was looking like a cakewalk for WI before India won the 3^rd and 4^th match in a row.

Now as we are looking forward to the final game, it is difficult to predict a clear winner as both teams have got muscle and skill to win the penultimate encounter.

However, India looks like having an edge, with all their key batsmen (Gill, Surya, Jaiswal, Tilak) firing and bowlers like Kuldeep and Arshdeep taking wickets at will.

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

Nicholas Pooran Stats T20I (Career)

Nicholas Pooran may not have performed in the 4^th IND vs WI T20 but he would still remain the key player for WI. This is attributed to his brilliant IPL exposure and brutal hitting ability, which can come in handy in a pressure game like this.

Romario Shepherd T20I Stats (Career)

Romario Shepherd is good with the bat lately, but he’s compensating it well with the ball. He’s the key player of the match for his ability to score thick and fast when needed. This is over and above the brilliant form, he’s enjoying with the ball. A strike rate of around 154 shows his ability to launch the ball into space.
