MATCH PREVIEW     

Indians have bounced back in this 5-match ODI series to make it 1-2. The visitors, who looked completely at sea, especially with the bat in the first two games, found their batting form to win the last game by 7 wickets. While most cricket betting odds had predicted West Indies to pocket the series in three games, the momentum has shifted. Indians have done well on this tour and will aim to win this contest and level the series going into the fifth game. West Indies can't take these Indian youngsters lightly, and they will put in all they have to grab the series after losing the Test and ODI series and the bigger agony of missing a berth in the upcoming World Cup.   

West Indies Preview      

Rovman Powell's side perhaps took the Indians lightly and paid the price. They failed to accelerate their innings in the middle overs and finished at least 15 runs short of the ideal score on the wicket. Powell would also expect a more disciplined show from his bowlers and win the series in this game.  

Kyle Mayers and Brandon King batted well in the last game, and the side would expect a similar start but a better strike rate from the openers. Nicholas Pooran is enjoying a purple patch, and he must bat well in the middle order with Johnson Charles and Rovman Powell. The side bats deep, and they will expect a good show from Shimron Hetmyer, Romario Shephard, and Roston Chase.  

Their poor bowling cost them the last game, and the team will need better spells with the new ball from Obed McCoy and Akeal Hosein. Alzzari Joseph has been the most consistent bowler for the side in the last 12 months and a favorite on betting apps. He must trouble the Indians in the middle overs along with Roston Chase. Shephard and Powell must do a good job in the supporting role.   

Expected Starting XI for West Indies     

Rovman Powell (c), Nicholas Pooran (wk), Johnson Charles, Shimron Hetmyer, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy, Romario Shephard, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Roston Chase  

India Preview     

Hardik Pandya will be relieved with his side's strong comeback in the last game. There was a lot of criticism about the side’s approach in the previous two games. The young side is full of match-winners, and Pandya would like to get the best performance out of his players in this game.  

Shubman Gill has struggled, and the side wants him to do well alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top. Suryakumar Yadav will be confident after playing an electrifying knock in the last game, and he must add runs with Tilak Varma, who has been the best batsman in this series. Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, and Sanju Sampson add firepower to the batting, and they will look to do well.  

Pandya bowled well in the last game, and he will look to get early breakthroughs along with Arshdeep Singh and put the hosts on the back foot. Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have an important role in the middle overs. The side will also expect a good show from Mukesh Kumar and Patel.  

Expected Starting XI for India     

Hardik Pandya (c), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mukesh Kumar 

TOSS: To Bat First      

Lauderhill, Florida, breaks the convention as far as betting tips are concerned. Only three times in 14 games played here as a side won chasing the score. The small ground allows teams to set big scores. Hence, we expect the side winning the toss to have no hesitation batting first in this game.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

There are predictions for rain in Florida on August 12. It may be a challenging track to bat on under these conditions. However, we expect the wicket to be flat where batsmen can play their strokes on the rise. The side batting first would have to score 170 runs or more to feel comfortable here.   

OUR PREDICTION      

The tables have turned, and the momentum has shifted in the last game. West Indies is packed with quality T20 players, but the bowling attack hasn’t been consistent in the last few months. They must bowl well to win this game. Indians have a quality bowling attack, and the middle order has been in good form. Though, we expect a tight contest Indians have the edge according to most cricket betting sites.   

Our Prediction is for India to win
