India (IND) will be up against West Indies (WI) in the 1st T20I match of the India Tour of West Indies at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad on August 3. Both teams look to be in decent form in this format recently, with both teams winning three of their last five matches. India would still be starting the tournament as favourites.
India squared off against New Zealand in their last encounter, where India won the toss and elected to bat. Though India lost the wicket of Ishan Kishan early, Shubhman Gill looked in a completely different mood and smashed every bowler who came his way. He was supported brilliantly by other players, and owing to his unbeaten century, India posted a mammoth total of 234 runs. New Zealand, in reply, were completely shattered by such a huge target in front of them and fumbled their way. They were bowled out for a mere total of 66, and India won the match by a huge margin of 168 runs.
West Indies had played against South Africa in their last match, where South Africa elected to field after winning the toss. Being put to bat, West Indies made a strong start and were moving ahead in the match at a rapid pace. Nicholas Pooran and Romario Shepherd’s quickfire innings meant West Indies posted a huge total of 220 runs on the board. The way South Africa started their run chase, it felt like it was going to be an easy task for them with their entire batting unit steaming up. However, West Indies took some wickets at crucial times and gripped the match at the very last moment, and won the match by seven runs.

Player Picks
Ishan Kishan IND | WK
Ishan has done brilliantly in the recently concluded ODI series where he hit three half-centuries in three matches. His form makes him a brilliant pick for captaincy roles.
Shubman Gill IND | BAT
Gill has been doing great in this format in the recent matches he has played. He has smashed 202 runs at a strike rate of 166.57 in just six matches which includes a fine century in the last match.
Hardik Pandya IND | ALL
Pandya has been named captain of the team and can be your captain as well. He has amassed 1271 runs and 69 wickets playing in 87 T20I matches.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Brandon King
WI | BAT
King couldn't impress in the recently concluded series. He should not find a place in your team.
Romario Shepherd
WI | ALL
Shepherd has not been able to do too well in the recent matches. He can be left out of your fantasy team.
