WI vs IND 5th T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The final game of the five match IT20 series between West Indies and India takes place on Sunday morning at the Central Broward Regional Park, Lauderhill. India have already sealed the series and bring a 3-1 lead into this match after winning Saturday’s game by 59 runs. Read on as we preview the fifth IT20. The game begins at 10:30 local time in Florida.
West Indies had a few encouraging moments but overall looked like a team defeated throughout Saturday’s game. The harsh truth is that India have a far stronger side with bat and ball.
India picked an XI with a longer tail on Saturday than in previous games, but it did not seem to affect the top order who played in their usual aggressive style. Very few of West Indies’ batters have coped with India’s bowlers.

WI vs IND Match Toss Prediction
West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl first to try and make use of any moisture in the wicket. Although they did not make any early inroads and similar weather is forecast, we expect both skippers to have the same mindset ahead of this game and to want to field first.
WI vs IND Pitch Report
It was the pace bowlers who took the bulk of the wickets on Saturday on this surface. There were 15 sixes and we expect to see plenty more maximums in this clash.
Weather Report
It would be a big surprise if, like ahead of the fourth IT20, the weather delays the start of the game. Expect hot sunshine to dry out any wet patches soon after the rain passes.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
Although West Indies suffered their heaviest defeat of the series when batting second, we do not foresee any changes to the side, unless there are last minute injuries. They kept faith with the same team who lost by seven wickets for Saturday’s game and it looks like these are the players the hosts want to build around.
WI Key Players
- Nicholas Pooran- the left-handed captain looked like a man on a mission before he was cruelly run out in a mix-up with Kyle Mayers. He had just taken Axar Patel for 22 runs from five balls and India had no answer at the time.
- Rovman Powell- we have seen plenty of cameos from the big-hitting middle order batter over these games. He hit 24 runs from 16 balls on Saturday but needs to deliver a big innings for his team again.
- Alzarri Joseph- the right arm pace bowler was West Indies’ standout bowler by a distance in the fourth IT20. He dismissed two of India’s top three batters.
WI Team Form
West Indies have now lost three of their last four IT20s and Saturday’s game was the first time this year that they had been bowled out in this format.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran (c), Kyle Mayers, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Devon Thomas (wk), Dominic Drakes, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein, Obed McCoy
India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
There were three changes for India ahead of Saturday’s game. Out went Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin and Hardik Pandya with Ravi Bishnoi, Deepak Hooda and Sanju Samson returning. Avesh Khan surprisingly kept his place and put in an excellent display. We expect India to field an unchanged side in this match.
IND Key Players
- Rohit Sharma- there was no sign of the lower back spasms which forced him to retire hurt from the third game of the series as he hit two fours and three sixes on Saturday.
- Arshdeep Singh- considering the left-arm pacer had not played an IT20 before last month, his progress has been nothing short of astounding. He regularly gets his yorkers spot on and is useful at any period of an innings.
- Ravi Bishnoi- the young spinner came back into the XI for the first time since the opening game of the series. Once again, he outfoxed the West Indian batters and he picked up the wickets of Shimron Hetmyer and Akeal Hosein.
IND Team Form
Since losing their opening two games at the T20 World Cup last October, India have won 21 of 25 IT20 fixtures.
India Predicted Playing 11
Rohit Sharma (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, Sanju Samson, Avesh Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi

🏆 West Indies vs India Prediction
This series has been competitive at times but India have been much the better side and fully deserve to come into this final match with an unassailable lead. West Indies may put in their best performance of the series with the bat with the pressure off, but we are still backing India to win this final game.
