Match Details
IND vs WI, 5th T20I
Date and Time: 7th August 2022, 8:00 PM IST
Venue: Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida
Pitch Report
The pitch at Lauderhill is a great one to bat on, with there being little to no help on offer for the bowlers. There wasn't much movement available for the pacers in the previous game, allowing batters to trust the carry off the surface and play their shots freely. A change of pace will be crucial in the middle and death overs, with the dimensions of the ground also going against the bowlers. Chasing will be the preferred option, with the pitch not expected to change much during the course of the game.
Today’s IND vs WI Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran could not convert his fine start in the previous game, scoring a quickfire eight-ball 24. He is the leading runscorer for the West Indies in IND vs WI T20Is with four fifties to his name against India as well. He is an explosive batter who can take on bowlers in the middle overs with aplomb. With the southpaw due for a big one, Pooran could be backed to score some runs in this match.
Batter
Suryakumar Yadav: Suryakumar Yadav has been in fine form in this format despite batting in multiple positions in the last couple of series. He is an attack-minded batter capable of playing both pace and spin well. With the conditions also suiting batters early on, Suryakumar is one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Jason Holder: Jason Holder had a decent outing with the ball in the previous game, but went wicketless. He is a clever operator with the ball, with his knack for picking up wickets in the middle and death overs being highly valued. With Holder capable of scoring quick runs down the order as well, he is a good addition to your IND vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Arshdeep Singh: Arshdeep Singh has had a breakout series with the ball, with his death-bowling skills being the talk of the town. He has been brilliant since the start of IPL 2022, being tactically sound and accurate whenever called upon to stem the runflow or pick up a wicket. Given the form that he is in at the moment, Arshdeep is a must-have in your IND vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
