After the conclusion of the Test series, India will now take on West Indies in the first ODI of the three-match series starting Thursday at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown in Barbados. The series will be important for India as they continue to decide on their squad for the World Cup later this year. The hosts, meanwhile, were not able to qualify for the tournament this time.
India and West Indies played an ODI series last year as well, which India won 3-0. Back then, a second-string Indian squad led by Shikhar Dhawan toured the Caribbean islands. But this time, the BCCI has named a full-strength team, with the World Cup and Asia Cup round the corner.
For India, the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant continue to miss out owing to injury concerns. India will be led by Rohit Sharma, while the hosts will be led by Shai Hope. In absence of Bumrah, Mukesh Kumar may make his T20I debut.
India and West Indies have played a total of 139 ODIs against each other, of which India have won 70 games, while West Indies have 63 wins. Notably, India have also won every bilateral ODI series against West Indies since 2006.

West Indies vs India Match Prediction
Given how India completely outplayed the West Indies in the Test series, we expect them to be the better side in the limited-overs leg too. India have won every bilateral ODI series against West Indies since 2006, and also all the six ODI matches played between the two teams in 2022.
