IND vs WI Fantasy Tips

• Odean Smith was expensive in the previous match giving away 30 runs in his two overs. He can be avoided for this match.
• Sanju Samson is batting lower down the order and might not face much balls to have an impact. If India are chasing then he can be left out.
• Arshdeep was impressive in the previous match picking up 3/38 and will bowl with the new ball and back at the death which makes him an asset considering those are best phases of picking up wickets. Try him as captain in grand leagues.
• Shai Hope scored 45 runs of 29 balls in the previous match and is a very good player of spin. Take a punt on him doing well once again.
• Jaiswal won the player of the match in the last game scoring an unbeaten 84. He can be tried as captain in grand leagues.
• Rovman Powell has struggled against spinners and was dismissed for 1 run in the last game. But the West Indies captain has done well overall in this series scoring 110 runs at a strike rate of 150. However in small leagues he can be left out.
