WI vs IND 1st T20I Preview

On Thursday, August 3 at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, the opening match of the five-match T20I series will feature India and the West Indies. The Men in Blue recently defeated the hosts 2-1 to win the ODI series. In T20Is, India has an advantage over West Indies due to their 17 victories in the 25 games played between the two sides.

The two-time T20 World Cup champions, on the other hand, would be eager to turn things around in the format they love to play the most after losing the Test and ODI series. West Indies last defeated India in a T20I series in 2017, and they will be eager to break that losing streak against a youthful and inexperienced Indian team.
