WI vs IND Match Prediction, 1st ODI – Who will win today’s match between West Indies and India?

After having a successful white-ball outing against England, team India have reached West Indies to play more limited-over matches. At first, the visitors will take on the home team in a three-match ODI series. The first match of the fixture will be played on July 22 (Friday), and the visitors are looking like favourites to win the contest.

West Indies recently faced a crushing series defeat at the hands of Bangladesh and will want to put on a better show and come on top against the Men in Blue. Meanwhile, team India will be without their permanent captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as both of them have been rested. Shikhar Dhawan will lead the visiting team, while a set of fringe players will look to stamp their authority in the absence of senior players.

Ishan Kishan:

Opening batter Ishan Kishan will have the responsibility of providing a quick start to his team in the upcoming ODI match against the Men in Maroon. Ishan has been in good touch lately, and he is making runs consistently in the T20I format. The left-handed batter will want to emulate his form in the 50-over matches as well.

Probable best bowler of the match

Mohammad Siraj:

Indian pacer Mohammad Siraj was excellent during the last ODI match against England, and the right-arm pacer will want to continue his good form with the ball against the Men in Maroon as well. Siraj can swing the new ball and even nail the yorkers in the death overs.
