IND vs WI Dream11 Prediction: Welcome to the First T20I between India and West Indies. Unlike the ODI series where India whitewashed the visitors with dominance, the T20 series will be a close one with plenty of big names on show. West Indies did have a stirring 3-2 win against England in their most recent T20I outing, it bears remembering that India are right now on a six-match winning streak in the format. With several key players either out injured or rested, India are looking to give enough game time to the fringe players to help them build for the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia later this year. West Indies will look to give the hosts a tough time with their young and dynamic squad. This promises to be an exciting match.
