IND vs WI Head To Head
After the Indore game, India and West Indies have played 34 T20Is. India have won 22, West Indies have won 11 and 1 match had no result. The last time these two teams played a T20I in Hyderabad was in December 2019. West Indies made 207/5 and India chased it down with 8 balls left.
IND vs WI Squads
India: Shreyas Iyer (C), Tilak Varma (VC), Sanju Samson (WK), Ishan Kishan (WK), Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Shivam Dube, Naman Dhir, Axar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav, Mayank Yadav
Team news: Shivam Dube and Kuldeep Yadav were left out in Indore for Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prince Yadav. It was a plan for the small ground and dew, not an injury. Washington Sundar was taken out of the T20I squad earlier and Naman Dhir came in for him. Jasprit Bumrah is rested for this series.
West Indies: Shai Hope (C & WK), Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Shimron Hetmyer, Akeal Hosein, Amir Jangoo (WK), Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Keemo Paul, Kamil Pooran, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Quentin Sampson, Romario Shepherd, Shamar Springer
Team news: Romario Shepherd sat out the Indore game with a niggle, so check his status at the toss. Quentin Sampson and Keemo Paul came into the XI, and Akeal Hosein also missed out. Jewel Andrew hurt his finger in the 3rd ODI and has not played a T20I on this tour, so we have kept him out. Amir Jangoo is his cover. Jason Holder is rested for the tour.
Pitch Report
The Hyderabad pitch is very good for batting. India made 297/6 against Bangladesh here in 2024, which is one of the biggest totals in T20I cricket.
| Year | Match | Batting first | Chasing | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | India vs West Indies | West Indies 207/5 | India 209/4 (18.4 overs) | Chasing team won |
| 2022 | India vs Australia | Australia 186/7 | India 187/4 (19.5 overs) | Chasing team won |
| 2024 | India vs Bangladesh | India 297/6 | Bangladesh 164/7 | Team batting first won |
- T20Is completed here: 3 (one more game in 2017 was washed out without a ball)
- Average first innings score: about 230
- Won chasing: 2, won batting first: 1
What it means for fantasy: pick plenty of top order batters. Bowlers will go for runs, so take the ones who pick up wickets. In this series the bowlers who take wickets, like Arshdeep, Chase and Dhir, have scored the most bowling points. Dew comes in at night, so the toss winner will most likely bowl first. West Indies chose to bowl in all three games so far.
Weather Report
We could not find a firm matchday forecast for Hyderabad yet. October evenings in Hyderabad are warm and humid, and a passing shower is possible at this time of year. Check the weather before the toss. If rain comes, a shorter game means big hitters become even more useful.
Probable Playing XIs
India: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (WK), Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Axar Patel, Mayank Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav
India may keep the winning XI. Kuldeep Yadav and Shivam Dube are the two options if they want to change.
West Indies: Shai Hope (C & WK), Kamil Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Quentin Sampson, Keemo Paul, Roston Chase, Shamar Springer, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie
If Romario Shepherd is fit, he can come back in for Keemo Paul.
Final XIs come at the toss.
Top Fantasy Picks
- Roston Chase (WI, AR): 1/37 in Lucknow, 3/24 in Ranchi and 2/38 in Indore. Six wickets in three games, and he took Kishan and Iyer in the last match. Bats in the middle order too.
- Ishan Kishan (IND, WK): 37 not out, 43 off 22 and 37 off 18. Good runs in all three games at number 3, and he is eligible as a wicketkeeper on most apps.
- Sherfane Rutherford (WI, BAT): 56, 84 off 37 and 32 off 20. The most consistent West Indies batter in this series.
- Naman Dhir (IND, AR): 3/31 on debut in Lucknow and 2/39 in Indore, where he got Pooran and Hetmyer. Bowls his spin and bats at 7.
- Arshdeep Singh (IND, BOWL): 3/44 in Indore and Player of the Match. He took Hope in the 2nd over and bowled well at the death.
- Shai Hope (WI, WK): 52, 102 not out and 5. Out early in Indore, but he still has 159 runs in the series and keeps wickets.
- Abhishek Sharma (IND, BAT): 69 off 30 in Indore with five sixes. Hyderabad is a big run ground, so he can win you a contest if he gets going.
IND vs WI 4th T20I Fantasy Team: Small Leagues
- Wicketkeepers: Ishan Kishan (Vc), Shai Hope
- Batters: Abhishek Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, Sherfane Rutherford
- All rounders: Roston Chase (C), Naman Dhir, Axar Patel
- Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav, Shamar Springer
Captain: Roston Chase. An all rounder with 6 wickets in three games (1/37, 3/24, 2/38) who also bats. He has given points in every match.
Vice captain: Ishan Kishan. Scores of 37 not out, 43 and 37 in this series. He bats in the top three and keeps wickets.
IND vs WI 4th T20I Fantasy Team: Grand Leagues
- Wicketkeepers: Ishan Kishan, Shai Hope
- Batters: Sherfane Rutherford (C), Abhishek Sharma, Shimron Hetmyer
- All rounders: Naman Dhir (Vc), Roston Chase, Nitish Kumar Reddy
- Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Shamar Springer, Shamar Joseph
Captain: Sherfane Rutherford. Scores of 56, 84 and 32 in this series. Fewer people will make him captain than Hope or Iyer, and Hyderabad suits his big hitting.
Vice captain: Naman Dhir. An all rounder with 5 wickets in his two games with known figures (3/31 and 2/39). He also bats at 7, so he can score from both sides.
Other picks for Grand Leagues: Shimron Hetmyer (43 off 26 in Indore), Shamar Springer (2 wickets and 35 not out off 11 in Indore) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (21 off 14 in Indore, also bowls pace) are lower owned options.

Match Prediction
India should win this one and take the series. Their batting goes deep, Abhishek and Kishan gave them a fast start in Indore, and Arshdeep and Dhir took wickets at the right time. West Indies have good hitters in Rutherford, Hetmyer and Pooran, and Hope can win a game alone, as he did in Ranchi. But they lost wickets in clusters in Indore. On a flat Hyderabad pitch, the team that bats better in the powerplay will most likely win. Our pick is India.
