![1st ODI India vs West Indies [Predictions, Dream 11 team, Squad, Insights]](https://crickpicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Ind-Vs-WI-Match-Predictions.png)
India is ready to take on the West Indies in today’s ODI match. In the past couple of months, the importance of 2 things has reduced significantly:
- ODI cricket, and
- Hand sanitizers
Test matches are getting intense, and you can see top players around the globe facing each other. In recent matches like Eng vs New Zealand, Eng vs Ind, and Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, people have witnessed some high-class cricket.
All the international teams are also having an eye on the upcoming T20 World Cup. So you can see teams trying different combinations and implementing different strategies.
Even though ODI is not at its peak right now, it is still an important format for world cricket. Some important players of the Indian team like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rohit Sharma are rested. This opens a window of opportunities for other players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson, and Deepak Hooda to display their talent.
Schedule for India’s tour of the West Indies
The first three ODIs of the West Indies tour will start today (22 July 2022) at 7 PM (IST). The second and third ODI will take place on 24 (Sunday) and 27 July (Tuesday), respectively. Then the 5-match T20 series will start from 29 July to 7 August.
India’s Squad for the ODIs
Shikhar Dhawan will lead the side for the ODIs, the Indian team includes:
Batsman:— Shubhman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shreyas Iyer.
Wicket Keepers:— Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson.
All-rounders:— Deepak Hooda, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel.
Bowlers:— Shardul Thakur, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, and Yuzvendra Chahal.
West Indies ODI Squad
Nikolas Pooran will lead the West Indies team for the ODIs, West Indies Squad:
Batsman:— Brandon King, Shamarh Brooks, Kacy Carty Rovman Powell.

Bowlers:— Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales, Hayden Walsh.
Predictions for 1st ODI, Dream 11 team.
The average score of the ground is expected to be around 230, so it will make sense to go for more bowlers and all-rounders on the team. Wicket keepers can give extra points for catches, while pure batsmen can only have one dimension of the game.
The chances of India winning are more than that of the West Indies. India has outperformed England in the limited overs. On the other hand, West Indies lost their previous series against Bangladesh.
Key players to watch out for:
Shikhar Dhawan: Shikhar is a tried and tested opening batsman for India in the ODIs. However, due to the inclusion of some new talent, Shikhar has already lost his position in the Test and T20 Squad. It will be very important for him to play well in this series and secure his opening spot in the ODIs.
Prasidh Krishna: Prasidh has been around the Indian team for a while. In the last series against England, he was not up to his mark. Against a side like West Indies, Prasidh will surely look to add more wickets under his belt.
Sanju Samson: undoubtedly, Sanju is the player who needs to make the most out of his chances. He has really worked hard to get here. Because of the heavy top order, Sanju is constantly been ignored by the selectors. So this will be an important series to prove his worth.
My Dream 11 team for today’s match:
Wicket keepers: Shai Hope, Ishan/Sanju
Batsman: Dhawan, Pooran, Yadav, Hooda.
All-rounders: Holder, Mayers
Bowlers: Chahal, Joseph, Siraj, Krishna/A Singh.
Depending on the toss and lineups, one between Hooda and Krishna will be in the Dream 11 team.
Captain: Shikhar Dhawan and Holder are good picks for the captain.
Vice-Captain: Shai Hope, Surya, Chahal, and Sanju Samson are good picks for the Vice-Captain.

Hey, I am Tanmay Kadam. I am the guy who wanted to win the World Cup for India (Well, I still want to, but they are not allowing me to play for India). But it is really tough to make a profession out of your passion. However, just like test cricket, life gives you a second inning, and here I am writing about my passion and making a profession out of it.
