Pitch Report
The pitch was on the slower side in the previous fixture, which is what is expected today as well. While the pacers might get some movement early on, the batters will look to go hard in the powerplay phase against the hard new ball. As the match progresses, the spinners should play a significant role, with the pacers also reverting to off-pace and back-of-the-length deliveries. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.
Today’s IND vs WI Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Shai Hope: Shai Hope didn't get many runs in the previous game, but he has ample experience of playing in the subcontinent. He is one of the Windies' best batters in the format. And given his ability to play spin well, Hope should be a good addition to your IND vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli, like Shai Hope, had an off-day, failing to score big runs in the first ODI. However, Virat has been in decent form and is one of the best in the business. With the former Indian captain being due for a big one with the bat, he is surely one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Jason Holder: Jason Holder held his own with the bat despite the Windies top order failing against India's spin twins Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar. In addition to Holder's batting ability, he is an able bowler who can swing the ball both ways and extract extra bounce, holding him in good stead ahead of the encounter.
Bowler
Yuzvendra Chahal: Yuzvendra Chahal was the standout player in the previous ODI, picking up four wickets in the middle overs and leading India to a big win. While the leg-spinner has been in fine form with the ball, the nature of the pitch should also play into his hands, making him a must-have in your IND vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
