India will meet West Indies for their 2nd clash in the Champions Trophy on June 11 here at the Oval. Both the teams come into this match after winning their first encounter in the Champions Trophy, the teams will be looking to win and enhance their chances to qualify for the semi-finals. If West Indies can beat India, the only way to keep West Indies out of the semi-finals will be net run rate. The same holds for India, who can perhaps afford to lose more than West Indies because they will be playing last in the group. Statistics A little surprising to know that India will meet West Indies for the first time in an ODI on English soil after 1983 world cup final. In 23 matches against West Indies, Suresh Raina has scored just one fifty and averages 19.72 with a strike rate of 77. ViratKohli will be playing his 100th ODI and R Ashwin will be playing his 50th ODI. Chris Gayle, with 734 at 56.46, has scored the most runs in Champions Trophy. Last time these 2 teams met in Champions Trophy India beat West Indies comfortably. The Champions Trophy 2002 winners (joint winner with Sri Lanka) have bad record at The Oval, winning three, losing seven and one no-result of the total 11 ODIs played at the venue. West Indies have 57-46 win-loss record against India with one tie and two no-results out the 106 ODIs played between the countries so far. West Indies also lead 2-1 against India in Champions Trophy encounters. However, India won nine of their last 12 meetings. Team Player to Watch Last 5 Matches West Indies Chris Gayle W L W WW India Dinesh Karthik L W WWW Pitch and conditions Conditions have been quite unpredictable. On the same Cardiff pitch that India scored 331, New Zealand and Sri Lanka lost 19 wickets for 277 runs. West Indies might have played a low-scoring thriller against Pakistan at The Oval, but you can’t surely say this game, too, will be difficult for the batsmen. A cool day with a 10% chance of rain is expected. Who’s saying what “The Gayle factor will always be there. These are sort of individuals who have a big impact on the game. So it is good to get them out early. Our fast bowlers will have fair chance in the sense they have two new balls and with overcast conditions they will get a bit of help, too.” MS Dhoni (India Captain) It’s another tough game against a team whose strength lies is their batting. But we have the right bowlers to control their batting. Cricket is played on the day. India could turn up on Tuesday and be knocked over, or score a big total again as they normally do. I have the right attack if I want to go with someone with raw pace. I have the reserve bench that is strong enough to actually come up with the 11 that I think will do well against the Indians. Dwayne Bravo (West Indies Captain) Overview These are teams built around batting might. The new regulations might have made India sacrifice one of the seven batsmen they loved to play, but they still rely on their batsmen, who racked up 331 against South Africa. West Indies’ win might have come in a low-scoring game, but they played with just three specialist bowlers, with Captain Dwayne Bravo, Marlon Samuels and Chris Gayle left to share 20 overs between them. West Indies might add one bowler to the line-up, but it still remains a contest between the mighty batting units. India will be hoping to build on their performance in the last game but they seriously need to look at their bowling who has taken the beating of first Sri Lanka in the warm up game and then South Africa in opening match of the tournament. West Indies have bowled well in their last game but this time it’s a strong Indian batting line up who has demolished Sri Lanka, South Africa & Australia dangerous looking bowling attack till date in the tournament. Both the teams have quality match winners who can win it for them from any stage and can turn the tables for the opposition. West Indies have some pretty good bowlers and an energetic skipper in Dwayne Bravo. The team would be raring to go after their thrilling two wicket win over Pakistan in their opening match. The key for India would be to bat first and put a huge score on the board and put pressure on the West Indians. India’s strength is their batting and they should look to bank on that to put up a credible performance tomorrow. Apart from that, the team selection should be straight forward as the players select themselves into the team after a string of combined performances in the previous matches. My prediction for today’s match would be India as they are the hot favourites to win todays encounter.
