India (IND) will be up against West Indies (WI) in the first Test match of the India Tour of West Indies at Windsor Park in Roseau from July 12. India have been in decent form in this format in the last few matches, where they have managed to win two and draw a game in their last five encounters. West Indies, on the other hand, have been able to win just one match in their last five matches. India starts the series as favourites, and it would require special efforts from West Indies to evade clean sweep in this format.

In reply, India didn't do well with the bat, but with some resistance towards the end, they managed to score 296 runs. In the second innings, Australia batted well and scored 270 runs for the loss of eight wickets, after which they declared their innings, and India were given a huge target of 444 runs. India started well, but no player could convert their starts into bigger scores which ultimately meant the team was bowled out for 234, and Australia won the match by 209 runs.

West Indies played against South Africa in their last encounter, where the toss was won by South Africa, who elected to bat. South Africa started well, with their top order scoring the majority of the runs scored by the team. South Africa posted a good total of 320 runs on the board in reply to which West Indies had a horrible start. Jason Holder did show some resistance down the order playing a fantastic knock of 81 runs, due to which West Indies reached 251 runs on the board.

Pitch Report

The track at Windsor Park is more favourable to bowlers than it is to batters. Spinners are going to play an important role in the match, with the pitch offering some turn and bounce for them. Batters who can counter spin well certainly have better chances to do well here. Teams winning the toss would choose to bat first, with the average first innings score being 249.

Blackwood has been given regular chances but has not been able to convert into good performances. He should not find a place in your team.

Jordan does not have too much of an experience to his aid which might be a factor you should keep in mind before you pick him up in your team.
