The weather will be clear tomorrow and fans can enjoy a full 50-over game. The pitch is slightly dry which certainly help the spinners.

Prediction for match result

The pressure will be on both the sides, though more will be on West Indies as they need to win the game to keep their little hope alive to qualify for the semi-finals. On the other hand, India are in a quite good position and will try to keep their winning momentum on so that they could seal their berth for the semi-finals.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this India vs West Indies game in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 should go in India?s favour. Even though India’s in-form opener Shikhar Dhawan’s exclusion could create a problem, they have a couple of players who can handle the situation pretty well. On the other hand, West Indies will not get the service of their star all-rounder Andre Russell who has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury. That might affect their game.
