India faced competition in ODI series
India clean sweep West Indies in ODI series. But at one point in the first two matches, West Indies were close to victory. Due to the bowling of Mohammad Siraj in the first match and the stormy innings of Axar Patel in the second, Team India won. Two-time world champion West Indies won the last T20 series against Bangladesh. After that there is a glut of T20 specialists.
The team has players like Shamrah Brooks, Kyle Meyers, Brandon King apart from captain Pooran and Hetmyer in the batting. Only Jason Holder has experience in the bowling of the team. Indian team can take advantage of this.
West Indies Team: Nicholas Pooran (captain), Rovman Powell (vice-captain), Shamar Brooks, Dominic Drakes, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Akil Hossein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle Meyers, Obed McCoy, Keemo Paul, Romario Shepherd, Odeon Smith, Devon Thomas , Hayden Walsh Jr.
