WI Playing 11 for India vs West Indies 2nd Test; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips for IND vs WI Dream11 Team Prediction

India and West Indies will play in Test 2 of India vs West Indies Test Series 2023, to be held at Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain on 20 July, 7:30 PM IST onwards.

India has already proved their dominance by defeating the hosts in the maiden IND vs WI test match by an inning and 141 runs, courtesy of the heroics of debutant Yashaswi Jaiswal and some magical wrist work from R Ashwin. The Caribbeans, on the other hand, couldn’t withstand the Indian storm and perished without resistance, save some resilience shown by Alick Athanze (47).

In the end, it was a cakewalk for the visitors, seizing the game with 2 full days to spare.

• Shannon Gabriel may fill up for Cornwall if he isn’t fit to play.

IND vs WI Dream11 Prediction

Except for an unlikely draw, India will remain the best bet to win this IND vs WI encounter. Even in the first IND vs WI test match, the hosts surrendered without resistance. None of the players from West Indies could put up a fight while every player from the visitor nation who got a chance performed, especially the debutant Yashaswi Jaiswal.

Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from West Indies

Kraigg Brathwaite

Kraigg Brathwaite hasn’t been firing for the last 3 three tests. However, the talented batter is way better than what the records show. The man has the ability to fire on any day. Let’s wait and watch if he could turn the tide in his team’s favor.

 Alzarri Joseph

The same goes for Alzarri Joseph. The talented all-rounder can make a match-winning contribution with both bat and bowl. He did pick one wicket in the otherwise forgettable first IND vs WI encounter. 

Alick Athanaze

Alick Athanaze was the only player from the West Indies side, who could show some resistance against the magical spell of R Ashwin in the first IND vs WI spell. 75 healthy runs and 1 important wicket in the debut match could bring some cheer for the hosts amid an embarrassing loss.
