West Indies vs India 1st ODI Match Preview:-
Match: WI vs IND ODI Match Prediction
Time: 22 July, 07:00 PM (IST)
Series: 1st ODI Match
Venue: Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad
Info:
Shai Hope has hit 12 centuries in ODIs and he is our pick for West Indies’ highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Alzarri Joseph is respected as a high level fast bowler. We expect to see him as West Indies’ top wicket taker in this opening ODI.
Shikhar Dhawan will captain the side in this series and has an average of 45.17 in this format. He is our pick for India’s highest run scorer against West Indies. Yuzvendr Chahal took 3-60 in the final ODI against England and the spinner is well worth backing as India’s top wicket taker in this fixture.
We expect that Shikhar Dhawan will excel under the pressure of the captaincy. He is our prediction for the Player of the Match Award.

The temperature will be in the high 20s and early 30s throughout this game. We expect cloudy and humid conditions from start to finish.

Historically this has been a very quick wicket but over recent years the pace has slowed on this pitch. We expect a par score to be no higher than 330.
Toss Prediction:
The last two ODIs at this venue saw the team who won the toss choose to bat first and go on to win the game. We predict that both captains will want to bat first if they win the toss.
