Ahead of our West Indies vs India players to watch, we first preview the match between the two sides. India will be hoping the weather stays away in Port of Spain after seeing the first game of the five-match series washed out frustratingly to inclement weather. The tourists were well placed at 199-3, looking to set an imposing target before the weather set in. The West Indies know they were on the back foot in the match and will be glad to still be level in the series when they could quite easily have been 1-0 down.

Key players to watch

West Indies captain Jason Holder has grown into the captaincy role brilliantly and can move ahead of the legendary Courtney Walsh in terms of ODI wickets with one in this match. They both have 48 currently and Holder will hope he can inspire his team with a record-breaking performance. Shikhar Dhawan was brilliant in the first match making 87 from 98 balls to anchor what could have been a big score. He will be looking to continue that dominance and alongside captain Virat Kohli, put the hosts to the sword.

Teams recent form

Before we look at the West Indies vs India outright odds, we first look at the recent form of the two sides heading into the match. Before the game one washout, the West Indies had come into the series off the back of some disappointing results against the weaker nations, due to the fact they weren’t involved in the ICC Champions Trophy. This culminated in defeat to lowly Afghanistan. India meanwhile looked on course to defend their 2013 title but were stunned in the Champions Trophy final by rivals Pakistan.

India will still want to put to bed the nightmare they had in the Champions trophy final and a series win against the West Indies will be the start of that process.
