WEST INDIES VS INDIA: 5th T20

WEST INDIES VS INDIA: 5th T20 | TODAY'S CRICKET MATCH PREDICTION AND TOP FANTASY PICKS

After the convincing win against the West Indies in the 4th T20 in Florida, which clinched the series 3-1, India cricket team can now look at their bench strength in the final game. 

 

With the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup looming large, the likes of A. Patel, A. Khan and A. Singh are likely to be given more chances to impress. It remains to be seen as well whether D. Hooda can push his own case for selection as back-up all-rounder to H. Pandya.    

 

For West Indies, the struggles with inconsistency continue. There have been few innings of substance and far too many cameos, and the bowlers frequently undo their good work with a sloppy over or two.
