Key players to watch
There is one name in T20 cricket that can draw crowds like no other. That name is Chris Gayle. The most destructive batsman in the shortest format, Gayle has been recalled for this one match and you can expect fireworks aplenty if he gets going at the top of the order. Add to that the IPL stalwarts Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, and Marlon Samuels and the hosts have got quite a dangerous side. For India, captain Virat Kohli is the number one ranked T20 batsman and he will look to dominate.
Teams recent form
The West Indies come into this match having won their last three matches, albeit against lowly Afghanistan. Prior to that, they played home and away series against Pakistan, losing 3-1 at home, and 3-0 on their travels. The Indians, meanwhile, have won series against England (2-1), the West Indies (1-0), and Zimbabwe (2-1), all after being knocked out of their home T20 competition by the Windies.
West Indies vs India head-to-head
Since their first meeting in 2009, the two sides have met a total of seven times in the shortest format. The home side have won four times including two of the last three matches. India have won two and there has been one no-result.

West Indies vs India Prediction
India’s dominance over their opponents in recent weeks means they are obvious favourites but you would be foolish to write off the hosts. They are most comfortable in 20-over cricket and have some notable personnel back in the ranks. It certainly won’t be the cakewalk everyone is predicting.
West Indies vs India Betting Tips
India are favourites but the Gayle factor makes for some interesting betting. If he can get going at the top of the order, there could be some incredible scoring. He is certainly the gun batsman in the team and it would hardly be surprising if he topped the scoring charts.
- A Century to be scored in the match – 6.50
- West Indies to have highest opening partnership – 2.20
