WI vs IND 1st ODI Dream11 Team Prediction

WI vs IND Match Preview

India will begin their World Cup preparations with a three-match ODI series against West Indies. The team has a full-strength squad at their disposal and will look to gain momentum ahead of the Asia Cup and World Cup. 

West Indies, on the other hand, will look to start fresh after a horrible show in the World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabwe. The two-time World Champions had a poor outing and failed to qualify for the gala event for the first time in history. Ahead of the ODI series, the two teams played the two-match Test series, with India dominating and winning the series 1-0.

WI vs IND Match Pitch Report and Weather Report

Pitch Report

The pitch will be flat and tailor-made for high-scoring match. A score of 280-300 should be just par on the wicket. The new ball may swing early on while spinners will also get some help in middle overs. However, a set batter should be able to milk runs easily.

Weather Report

The conditions are gloomy with more than a 50 per cent chance of rain. The first innings should go without any interruption and rain is likely to come in the second innings so the team winning the toss should prefer chasing.

WI vs IND Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is a modern-day great and one of the best in this format. Kohli has been in great form in recent year or so, scoring ODI centuries against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, Test Centuries against Australia and West Indies and two IPL hundreds as well.

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma is also a great ODI batter. Someone who has three double tons in the format needs to introduction. Rohit had a good outing in the Test series and scored 103 in the first game while backing it up with 80 in the second game.

Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja brings a lot of value to the team. He has been in top form with the bat in the recent few years while his left arm spin is very tricky to face. Jadeja is a genuine match-winner for Team India.

Shimron Hetmyer

Shimron Hetmyer has been recalled to the ODI team after being ignored for the World Cup qualifiers. Hetmyer boast of a great ODI record. He has an average of over 45 in ODIs and a strike rate of over 121. True credentials of a game-changer.

Alzarri Joseph

Alzarri Joseph enjoys a great record against two of India’s best batters, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, dismissing the duo three times each. If he can knock off the two batters cheaply, West Indies will be in with a chance.
