Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav was favored by the luck of the toss in the mega match. And after winning the toss, he decided to bowl first at Eden. Suryakumar Yadav decided to bowl because the bowlers got some advantage on the fresh wicket of Eden in the evening and later the wicket became better for the batsmen because of the dew factor. There is no change in the Indian XI compared to the last match.

The overall head-to-head statistics show that India have won 19 and West Indies have won 10 of the 30 matches between the two teams. But on the World Cup stage, the picture is reversed—India won only 1 out of 4 matches. In other words, the Caribbean is ahead of the World Cup stage. Also, West Indies’ record at Eden Gardens is not to be neglected. They played 3 matches here in T20 World Cup and won all three. Again, a total of 4 matches were played between India and West Indies at this ground and India won all four. As a result, judging from all sides, cricket lovers are waiting to watch the match today.
