Odds from
Top Run-scorer
Shai Hope has over 4800 runs in the fifty-over format at an average of 50 with 15 centuries to his credit. Bet on Hope to be West Indies’ top batter at 2/1 (3.00). Ishan Kishan opened the innings in the first game and smashed 52 off 46 deliveries. He’s likely to open again and you can bet on him to be the top batter for India at 4/1 (5.00).
Our Prediction: Shai Hope to be West Indies’ top run-scorer at 2/1 (3.00).
Top Wicket-taker
Kuldeep Yadav was excellent in the last game, snaring 4 for 6 in just three overs. Given West Indies’ struggles against spin, you can bet on him to be India’s best bowler at 3/1 (4.00). The left arm spinner Gudakesh Motie bagged two wickets in the first game. Back him to be the top bowler for West Indies at 11/4 (3.75).
Our Prediction: Kuldeep Yadav to be India’s top wicket-taker at 3/1 (4.00).
Man of the Match
Ravindra Jadeja claimed three wickets in the previous game. The pitch suits his bowling and he can make an impact with the bat as well. Jadeja is a good candidate to be the player of the match at 11/1 (12.00). Among others, Kuldeep Yadav, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma are some of the top betting options.
Our Prediction: Ravindra Jadeja to be the Man of the Match at 11/1 (12.00) odds.
West Indies vs India Preview
Having lost the first game, West Indies will be desperate to keep the series alive on Saturday. Let’s take a look at two teams ahead of their encounter.
West Indies
West Indies were outplayed in the series opener, where they went down by five wickets. Shai Hope scored 43 but the rest of the batting unit just collapsed as they were bowled out for 114. Bowlers made some inroads but didn’t have enough runs.

Squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar
