India vs West Indies Betting Tips & Live Stream - India to cruise past West Indies at T20 World Cup
India and West Indies face a crucial match in the ongoing T20 World Cup after suffering defeats to South Africa in the Super 8 stage. Both teams were previously unbeaten in the group phase. India's Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan are in good scoring form, offering them an edge. Despite West Indies' recent 3-2 lead over India in T20I matches, the Indian team, led by batters contributing significantly in recent games, is viewed as a strong contender. Star players like Shimron Hetmyer and Hardik Pandya are anticipated to perform.

India Bounced back after Defeat
After a perfect Group stage, India lost to South Africa by 76 runs but bounced back by beating Zimbabwe by 72 runs.
India’s batters hit their stride against the Zimbabwe attack, racking up 256/4 off their 20 overs. Their top six all scored 24-plus, with Abhishek Sharma (55 off 30) and Hardik Pandya (50* off 23) each hitting four sixes.
Arshdeep Singh (3/24, econ 6.00) was the pick of the Indian bowlers as they choked down on the Zimbabwe batters. Zimbabwe finished their 20 overs on 184/6. Varun Chakravarthy (1/35, econ 8.75) and Axar Patel (1/35, econ 8.75) both also enjoyed success with the ball.
West Indies Suffer First Loss
After a run of six wins on the trot, the West Indies suffered their first loss of the World Cup when they were beaten by South Africa by nine wickets.
The West Indies top-order collapsed to 83/7 in the 11th over after a promising start by openers Brandon King (21 off 11) and Shai Hope (16 off 6). The West Indies recovered to reach 176/8 off their 20 overs thanks to some big hitting by Jason Holder (49 off 31) and Romario Shepherd (52 off 37).
The West Indies struggled to contain South Africa’s openers, with Roston Chase (1/46) making the breakthrough in the 8th over. It was their last bowling success as the Proteas stormed to a nine-wicket win.
India vs West Indies News & Predicted Lineups
Speaking during the post-match interview, India skipper Suryakumar Yadav was proud that his top-order batters had all performed in their Super 8 win over Zimbabwe.
“There were contributions from all batters and that was heartening to see. We could have been more clinical with the ball, but a win is a win. We need to tighten out screws ahead of the WI game. From the bowling point of view, we could have been smarter. When we are in such situations, we need to be courageous,” said Yadav.
West Indian captain Shai Hope admitted during his post-match interview that losing a lot of wickets in the powerplay cost his side dearly.
“We were 40-50 short. I must commend the guys in the bottom half for giving us a chance. It was one of those days. I thought we didn't get enough runs on the board, and it was hard for the bowlers to pull it back. Everything will not be easy,” said Hope.
India (possible XI): Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy.
West Indies (possible XI): Shai Hope (c), Brandon King, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph.
Verdict
I am backing India to win. I am also backing Hardik Pandya to top score for India.
Shimron Hetmyer is a good bet to top score for the West Indies.
