India vs West Indies Toss Prediction
India are our predicted toss winners, and they should bat first. No dew or pitch update is confirmed, so the call rests on form: India’s batters have shown they can control a chase, yet posting a total first removes any doubt. West Indies’ 295/7 last time shows 300 is within reach on a good surface.
Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati Pitch Report
Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
No official pitch report was provided at the time of writing, so this pitch report leans on recent scoring. The opening ODI, played at a different venue, produced 295/7 and 300/2, which points to a surface that rewarded batters. If Guwahati plays similarly, totals around 300 are realistic, though wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav could again prove decisive through the middle overs.
Weather Report
Temperature and dew details were not available for this fixture, so this weather report stays open until match day. Dew, when present, tends to help the side batting second, but it is not confirmed here, and our toss view rests on team strengths instead. Check the toss and the confirmed playing XI before locking in fantasy cricket tips, since late conditions could shift the balance.

India vs West Indies Team Preview & Squads
India
Shubman Gill leads India and is also listed as their key batter, so his influence goes beyond tactics in this IND vs WI clash. After a comfortable eight-wicket win, the side looks settled, and a captain leading from the top order gives the innings a steady base. The batting is the headline act, and Virat Kohli was named Cricinfo’s MVP in the opener as India reached 300/2 in 41.4 overs. KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal add serious depth to a lineup that finished the chase with 50 balls left.
Prasidh Krishna is the key bowler, while Ravindra Jadeja is the all-rounder to watch. Kuldeep Yadav, Player of the Match with 4/40, is our pick for top wicket-taker, and Mohammed Siraj adds pace. Conceding 295 last time shows middle-over control still needs work.

West Indies
Shai Hope captains West Indies, whose recent form of L L L W L shows a side short on confidence. Even so, they posted 295/7 in the opener, so this group can still put runs on the board when the top order sticks around. Justin Greaves is the key batter and the man to anchor the innings. John Campbell is our predicted top run-scorer and most-sixes pick, with Keacy Carty, Sherfane Rutherford and Amir Jangoo adding depth. They need one long partnership to threaten 300.
Alzarri Joseph is the key bowler and our predicted top wicket-taker, and Roston Chase is listed as the key all-rounder. Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales and Gudakesh Motie add variety. Taking wickets early is the concern after India’s easy chase.
