India vs West Indies Match Preview, World Cup 2019: Match Details, Squads, Recent Form, Head to Head and Stats

The 34th match of the ICC World Cup 2019 will see Team India take on West Indies at Old Trafford, Manchester on Thursday. India are comfortably placed at number three in the points table with four wins and a washout. Despite a stutter in the previous game against Afghanistan, India will go into this game with full of confidence and look to maintain their unbeaten streak.

After starting the World Cup with a win against Pakistan, West Indies have failed to replicate similar kind of performances and are almost out of contention for a semi-final berth. They have won only one game, lost four and a game against South Africa which was washed out. Their biggest concern would be that of their batsmen who have thrown away their wickets after getting starts.
