The West Indies hold a significant edge in net run rate, placing additional pressure on India to secure a win, as a washout would favour the Caribbean side. India revived their campaign after a setback against South Africa by a dominant batting display against Zimbabwe in Chennai, smashing up 256/4, leading to a 72-run victory.
West Indies, meanwhile, also registered a dominating win over Zimbabwe by 107 runs earlier in the phase, although they too were outplayed by South Africa in their other Super 8 outing, making this a do-or-die clash for both teams to qualify for the semi-finals. As per our IND vs WI Dream11 team prediction, Abhishek Sharma and Hardik Pandya are the most picked captaincy options for this match, while Shimron Hetmyer and Jason Holder can be considered for vice-captaincy.
