India vs West Indies Highlights


Big moments of the match

Match Preview

 India is undefeated so far in the World Cup. The top order looks solid with everybody amongst the runs. Dhawan and Kohli both have scored century while Rohit Sharma scored an half century against UAE. India played with UAE on the same pitch which is fast and bouncy. Indians are likely to take advantage of the wicket and are likely to test West Indians with bouncers and short pitch balls. Indian bowers are in form and roaring to have a go at West Indies. Indians will be looking at Gayle as the biggest threat who scored a double century after failing in the first two games.

Can India seal a quarter-final berth with a win over the West Indies?
