Preview
India and West Indies will come in front of each other in the first Test of a two-match series on July 12, 2023. Rohit Sharma-led side are visiting West Indies for an all-format series that will commence with a Test series. The two-Test matches will be a part of the 2023-2025 World Test Championship Cycle. The first Test will take place in Dominica, and India’s best men will wish to continue their winning spree against the Windies.
Toss Prediction
West Indies are coming on the back of a disappointing loss in their World Cup 2023 Qualifier game against Scotland. The team didn’t get lucky at the toss battle back then and ended up losing it. However, as the forthcoming game is to be played on their home turf, we would like to believe that luck might favour the hosts and they will win the toss.
Win Possibility
The upcoming game commencing from July 12 will be an encounter between the mighty Indians and meagre Windies, where the Asian giants have always maintained an upper hand. West Indies last won a Test game against India in 2002, and it was the last series that they had won against Indians. Indians would surely look forward to maintaining the dominance.
Not only this, but the Rohit Sharma-side is also heading into the series with a terrible defeat against the World Champions, Australia, and ended the 2023 WTC Cycle in an unexpected manner. The Men in Blue have been sweating hard lately and are in no mood to begin the new WTC Cycle on a defeating note. Hence, we believe Rohit Sharma's side would win the forthcoming game.
Predicted average first inning total
Both the teams would enter into the field to turn their recent past defeats into a sweet victory. The predicted first inning score of the upcoming summit is likely to be around 246-256.
