India are all set to cross swords with West Indies in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Thursday (July 27). It is worth mentioning that the two sides previously took on each other in a two-match Test leg which India won (1-0).

The ODI series will be a great opportunity for Men in Blue to learn and improve on their shortcomings before the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Meanwhile, the Caribbean side will be determined to regain confidence after failing to qualify for the 50-over world cup event in India later this year.
