West Indies – Preview
Jason Holder is leading the team. There are no established names. The team comprises talented, but inexperienced players like Jonathan Carter, Roston Chase, Ashley Nurse, Shai Hope, Kieran Powell and Rovman Powell. There is more promise in the team than actual runs and wickets. The team is in a re-building stage. Holder is perhaps the most experienced player in the line-up. The only advantage in their favour that can be considered for cricket betting is the home support. The young team will be eager to impress the home crowd.
India – Preview
Indians will be jet-lagged. The pitches in England were batting friendly. They will encounter low and slow pitches in West Indies. Their batsmen need to adjust. Anyways, they will be happy that they do not have to face Mohammed Amir and the other Pakistani bowlers. The team will be eager to show that they can easily survive without Kumble or any other coach. Expect their batting line-up to score big runs. Virat Kohli is under fire from all kinds of media. He will be eager to give a fitting reply with the bat.
