IND VS WI: India vs West Indies ODI Series Betting Tips
IND VS WI: For just the second time in two years, India will gear up for a home ODI series. While they start as strong favorites against a West Indies side that has struggled badly in ODI cricket in recent times, the home side has questions of their own to answer in Rohit Sharma’s first series as full-time ODI captain.
IND VS WI ODI Series Details:
- Dates: February 6, February 9, February 11
- All three ODIs will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad behind closed doors
- Each match will be a day/night affair, which will likely bring dew into the equation
While the ODI Super League is irrelevant to India as they are hosting the 2023 World Cup, there are key creases to iron out if they wish to enter that showpiece tournament as best prepared as possible. Coming off a 3-0 ODI series defeat in a wretched tour of South Africa, India will be aiming to nail their number four position as well as find some extra potency in the pace attack.
West Indies are all at sea in ODIs. They lost at home to Ireland last month – their fourth ODI series defeat in their last five attempts. Their senior players must step up if they are to have any chance in this series.

India vs West Indies ODI series betting tips
Here are some of our top tips for the ODI series.
IND VS WI: Top contenders for leading run-scorer
- Virat Kohli: Will this finally be the series the great Virat reaches his 71st international century? He has the most runs in India-West Indies ODIs, with 2,235 runs in 39 matches at a superb average of 72.09 and strike rate of 97.34.

- Rohit Sharma: The new full-time skipper will be looking to start with a bang. Rohit has amassed 1,523 ODI runs against the Windies at an average of 60.92 and a strike rate of 91.58. However, it is his numbers against the Windies at home that are truly astounding: 16 ODIs, 1,040 runs, average: 80.00, strike rate; 100.28. He scored the most runs in West Indies’ visit in 2019 (258 in three ODIs). Other players such as KL Rahul are also capable of scoring big. However, on what is expected to be good batting surfaces in Ahmedabad, and with dew around, players in the top three are likely to do the bulk of the scoring.

IND VS WI: Top contenders for leading wicket-taker
- Mohammed Siraj: It is a good call by India to have Siraj in their squad, particularly in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. He is a hit-the-deck bowler who can extract movement with the new ball, and is also capable of holding his own in the death overs. If he plays at least two ODIs in this series, he is capable of taking a bagful of wickets.

- Yuzvendra Chahal: While the Ahmedabad surfaces are unlikely to be the kind we saw in the Test against England last year, expect Yuzvendra Chahal to have an impact in the series. The leg-spinner will be key in the middle overs.

- Alzarri Joseph: A strong pace bowler, Joseph has enjoyed success in ODI cricket so far with 64 scalps in 40 matches. He will be a key man for the Windies in both the powerplay and death overs, which can fetch him wickets.

IND VS WI: Likely Series Result
India 3-0. While West Indies have some talent in their ranks – including capable spinners – India should be too strong at home.
Key Betting Tip
While India will be strong favorites in all three games, it is a good idea to wait for the toss and confirmed playing XIs before making any head-to-head bets.
Also, there hasn’t been a single List A-game on this ground since 2014, which is also when the last ODI was played. So, pay close attention to the pitch reports. Given it’s February and conditions will be clear in Ahmedabad right throughout the series, except the captain who wins the toss to choose to chase with some possible dew in the evening.
