It has been a run feast far in the West Indies tour of India, 2026. Hosts India have grabbed the series 2-1, and now the competition moves to the shortest format of the game. With the kind of batting form the two teams are in, we expect a high-scoring contest at Lucknow. India is fresh off its Gold Medal win at the Asian Games 2026. The West Indies also enter this game after a series win against Sri Lanka in their last bilateral.
India has an exceptional record against the West Indies on home soil. In the last 10 games between the two teams in India, India has won nine times. India has never lost a game at this venue in the T20 format, adding to their confidence. The West Indies are a strong team in this format with batting firepower that can destroy any attack. The two teams are well-matched, and we expect a nail-biting contest.

After a gold medal in the Asian Games and a 3-0 series win against Afghanistan, Shreyas Iyer and his men have made a strong comeback after their series losses against Ireland and England earlier this year. They are doing well with the bat, but the bowling attack will face a tough challenge in Jasprit Bumrah's absence. They face a strong batting lineup, and Iyer must get the best out of his bowling attack.
Abhishek Sharma is in murderous form with 1077 runs in the last 12 months at a strike rate of 194.40 and looks forward to delivering an electrifying start with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Ishan Kishan has also made a thousand-plus runs and must build partnerships in the middle order with Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer. Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, and Axar Patel add firepower to the batting.
India's attack, minus Bumrah, looks completely different. Arshdeep Singh has picked up 39 wickets in the last 12 months and must strike early in the game with Prince Yadav. Axar Patel has done well in this format and must bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Kuldeep Yadav as West Indies have struggled against spin. Dube and Abhishek Sharma must do well in supporting roles.

Shai Hope and his team showed what they are capable of in the last ODI, chasing down a record total. They aim to build on the positives from the last game and put the Indians under pressure. However, Hope knows his team's poor record on Indian soil and the quality of the opposition they face. He must lead from the front and take his team to another victory.
Shai Hope will look to start from where he left off in the last ODI and deliver a strong start with John Campbell. Shimron Hetmyer has made 566 runs in the last 12 months at a strike rate of 180.83 and must build partnerships in the middle order with Rovman Powell and Roston Chase. Sherfane Rutherford is a good finisher and must add quick runs with Gudakesh Moite and Matthew Forde.
The bowling attack looked scratchy in the ODI series. Alzarri Joseph and Matthew Forde must strike early as the Indians have a destructive top order. Shamar Joseph has picked up 22 wickets in the last 12 months and must bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Roston Chase. The team expects a strong show in the supporting roles from Gudakesh Moite and Sherfane Rutherford,

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, is a good ground for batsmen who are selective with stroke-making. The ball stops on the batsmen occasionally, and the spinners have done well at this venue. The straight boundaries are long, so batsmen must time their shots well at this venue. The average first innings score in the last two seasons is 182, and the team batting first must aim to have 200 on the board.
The toss is crucial at this venue, as teams have struggled to defend scores here. In the last 10 games, the team chasing the score has won eight times. We have seen high-scoring contests in the last two years. The team winning the toss will aim to bowl first and restrict the opponents to a small total.
West Indies have a poor record against India in this country. They have struggled with the ball on this tour and need the bowling attack to execute its plans perfectly to win the game. The Indians have an unblemished record at this venue and enter this game riding good form. Though we expect a close contest with both teams having strong batting firepower, the Indians start as the favorites.
