West Indies

  • Rovman Powell88

  • Andre Russell83

    Useful with bat and ball

What would change our mind?

The developments we would react to before the first ball.

  • If Kuldeep Yadav is left out

    We would trim India by around five points, turning this into a strong lean.

  • If the pitch looks drier or greener than expected at the toss

    More help for the bowlers would narrow the gap between the two batting line-ups.

  • If rain shortens the match

    Fewer overs mean more randomness, which helps the underdog.
