Date and Time: 20th February 2022, 7:00 PM IST
Venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata
Pitch Report
A decent batting track is expected at the Eden Gardens with some assistance on offer for the bowlers. The pacers should get the new ball to move around, keeping the batters on their toes. The spinners should get ample turn off the surface, but the dew factor will go against them, making it difficult to grip the ball. Wickets in hand will be key yet again, with 160 being par at the venue.
Today’s IND vs WI Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran has been the standout player in this series with a couple of quick-fire knocks in the top order. The southpaw is a brilliant player of spin, which is expected to play a big part in the middle overs. Given his form and experience of playing in subcontient conditions, Pooran is a must-have in your IND vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Suryakumar Yadav: Suryakumar Yadav is one of the better players of spin in the world and has already played a few handy knocks in his T20I career. With Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant not available for this game, Suryakumar Yadav is expected to bat higher up the order, making him a good addition to your IND vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Jason Holder: Jason Holder has been in brilliant form over the last few months in this format, holding his own with both the bat and ball. Although he wasn't able to put in a good performance in the previous game, the conditions should help in this fixture, holding him in good stead ahead of the game.
Bowler
Ravi Bishnoi: Young Ravi Bishnoi has been India's go-to bowler in the middle overs, outfoxing batters with his variations and picking the odd wicket too. With ample turn on offer at the Eden Gardens, Bishnoi will once again be a threat to the Windies batting unit and should pick up a wicket or two in this game.
