Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 5th T20I of the India vs West Indies T20I Series 2026 between IND vs WI to be played in Bengaluru.

The five-match T20I series between India and West Indies have been a highly fought one, and both teams have been pretty competitive. West Indies have won two games, and in two matches they scored 252 and 247.

The Indian bowlers have been on receiving ends in the last three matches and have struggled to execute their plans. Arshdeep Singh is doubtful for the final game, and veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is all set to make his comeback after four long years.

The final game will be played on Saturday at M. Chinaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru at 7 PM IST. India will be feeling the pressure of their first series defeat at home against West Indies. Meanwhile, the visitors have a great opportunity to script history.

IND vs WI: Pitch Report

If the pitches for the first four T20Is were flat, then even a flatter deck is waiting for the final game in Bengaluru. This is probably the best batting venue in India, and there is nothing in it for the bowlers. It has very small boundaries, and even 80-85 meter sixes can reach the top tier.

For bowlers, a small error means a six, and change of pace will be the key. Though if it rains, then the wicket might get slow and bowlers can get a little help.

Bhuvneshwar’s entry will add the much-needed experience in the bowling unit. He has played a lot in Bengaluru for RCB, and his experience will come in handy. But the toss will be crucial, and the chasing team will have an edge. However, we back India to win the final game on Saturday.
