The West Indies upset the odds with a stunning win in the fourth match to keep the series alive. Our West Indies vs India preview features two teams that have been at opposite ends of the talent spectrum in recent times. India are a dominant force in the one-day game, while the Windies have fallen away so much that they missed the ICC Champion’s Trophy because they weren’t ranked in the top eight sides in the world.

Key players to watch

Jason Holder stepped up in the fourth match with a magnificent five-wicket haul for the West Indies and the skipper will need to be in form again if they are to nick a positive result in this One-day International. Kyle Hope set a platform with the bat in tough conditions so he will hope to do the same at Sabina Park. India’s talisman MS Dhoni couldn’t see his side home and struggled for rhythm throughout, while Ajinkya Rahane top-scored with 60.

Teams recent form

We now analyze the recent success of both teams. The four matches so far in this series have had everything. India dominated but were scuppered by the rain in the first game before dominating in the second. They doubled their series lead performing with the ball before being pegged back in a low-scoring thriller in game four.

Head-to-head

We peruse the record in matches between both teams. Since they first played each other in 1979, West Indies and India have battled on 120 occasions. The hosts lead the way with 61 wins. India are close behind with 55 wins. A tie and three weather-affected unfinished matches complete the record.

West Indies vs India Prediction

The West Indies shocked many by clinching a win in game four and in doing so, they kept the One-day International alive. The Indians will be keen to make sure the last match was just a blip and that they will go on to win the series in the final game. The hosts will hope they can snatch a draw in the series where they have been dominated for the most part. They will feel that they are capable of that, having exposed some frailties in the Indian lineup.
