The first of the 3 T20Is will take place at Lauderhill, Florida on Saturday. Keep reading to find out India tour of West Indies, 2019 1st T20I West Indies vs India Match Prediction.

West Indies didn’t have a good time in the World Cup as they failed to qualify for the semi-finals. However, they are now playing the format they love the most. Let me remind you that West Indies are the T20 World Champions. Also, the last time they hosted India in Florida, they managed to win both the games. Expect a different Caribbean side from what showed up in England.

India, on the other hand, were the table-toppers in the World Cup. But they lost to New Zealand in the semi-final. The T20I squad now features plenty of new faces. With the T20 World Cup lined up for next year, the Men in Blue would keep a keen eye of the new entrants. Despite having several changes, they do have the core players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar that will give them the stability.
