Port of Spain: After coming off a confident limited-over success during the UK visit, Team India is all set to take on West Indies for a three-match One Day International Series and a five-match T20 International series. They will square off for the first One Day International on Friday at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain at 7 PM IST.
In the previous series against England, the Indian brigade outplayed the hosts in two of the three matches. But a number of experienced players will not be seen in the squad. In place of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan will lead the boys. On the other hand, West Indies endured a humiliating 3-0 defeat in their previous series against Bangladesh on home soil.
The last time when both teams faced each other for 50-over cricket earlier in February this year, India showed sheer dominance over the Caribbean unit. The Men in Blue whitewashed the Islanders 3-0 in front of the home crowd. Though West Indies cricket is now going through a transitional phase, a win against India will no doubt boost the confidence of the Nicholas Pooran-led squad.
