Hence, India will be looking for a winning start to this series. They are the no. 1 ranked T20I team and will look to carry on their domination. On the other hand, Shai Hope will lead the hosts.
West Indies have a strong T20I squad, and the return of Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Akeal Hosein, and Romario Shepherd will add more depth to the team.
