Top Run-scorer
Shai Hope was superb in his return to the T20I side, scoring 45 off 29 on Saturday. Back him to be West Indies’ top batter at 5/2 (3.50). Yashasvi Jaiswal had a magnificent season in the IPL this year and hammered 84 not-out in the last T20I. Bet on him to be the top batter for India at 13/4 (4.25).
Our Prediction: Shai Hope to be West Indies’ top run-scorer at 5/2 (3.50).

Kuldeep Yadav has consistently made an impact on this tour and is coming off a 3/28 and 2/26 in the last two games. Bet on Kuldeep to be India’s top bowler at 2/1 (3.00). Akeal Hosein has taken 89 wickes in the shorter format at 6.71 economy. Back Hosein to be the top bowler for West Indies at 5/2 (3.50).
Our Prediction: Kuldeep Yadav to be India’s highest wicket-taker at 2/1 (3.00).

Our Prediction: Kuldeep Yadav to be the Man of the Match at 10/1 (11.00) odds.
West Indies vs India Preview
India have bounced back with back to back victories to force a series decider. Take a look at two sides before they meet in the fifth T20I on Sunday.
West Indies
The men in maroon have let the opportunity to seal the series slip away after being 2-0 up in the series. They posted 178 in the fourth game on the back of Shimron Hetmyer’s 61 off 39 and Shai Hope’s 45. But the bowling attack was obliterated as they lost by nine wickets.
As for the playing XI, expect at least one change with Alzarri Joseph coming in for Odean Smith. Shai Hope replaced Johnson Charles in the last game and he did well.
Squad: Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Shai Hope (wk), Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell (c), Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy

Chasing 179, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill put on a 165-run stand. Gill struck 77 off 47 while Jaiswal remained unbeaten on a magnificent 84 off 51.
The visitors are unlikely to make any changes with the series on the line.
Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal
