The visitors have been brilliant on this 2022 India tour of West Indies and USA so far. After winning the ODIs, India now leads the T20I series 3-1 and they’ve taken home all honours but there’s still more to play for. It’s the fifth and final T20 international of this tour and India will look to exert more dominance and win 4-1, while also allowing themselves to test their bench strength in this ‘dead rubber’ contest.
As for West Indies, there have been a few positives like the counter-attacking innings played by Nicholas Pooran in the last game while Obed McCoy has been a revelation with the ball too, but they’ve not collectively performed and that’s super important if you’re going to want to win matches at any level.

India
It’s been a fabulous success story for Arshdeep Singh so far and we only see him growing from strength to strength going ahead. He picked up 3/12 in the last game and went at only 3.78 runs per over which is outstanding in a T20, and he’s got one of the best yorkers in the business right now. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been good as usual but he’s been short of wickets this series; we’re backing him to be among them here, and adding him to our IND vs WI fantasy team.
With the bat, Rohit Sharma has begun to look more comfortable at the crease and he’s even the top scorer at this ground with slightly below 200 runs coming in 5 games, including two fifties. We’re picking the Indian captain in our IND vs WI Dream11 team while he may get a change in partner at the top, with Ishan Kishan likely to get a game. Either of Deepka Hooda or Suryakumar Yadav could get a rest, while Shreyas Iyer could also be given another game.
West Indies
After seeing Nicholas Pooran go after the Indian bowlers in those 1-2 overs he occupied the crease, we now have the confidence to add him to our side while we’re also picking Jason Holder because he’s the only genuine all-rounder in the side, while also being super experienced. He bats higher up the order in the T20 format, and is even worth picking as fantasy captain or vice-captain for this 5th T20 game.

Two really hard-hitting all-rounders sitting on the bench include Odean Smith and Romario Shepherd. If wither or both make the playing eleven for this final T20, we’re adding them to our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) IND vs WI fantasy team because of abilities with both bat and ball. Among the spinners, Akeal Hosein is their best T20 bowler who can bat too but if given a chance, Hayden Walsh Jr is a good pick too.
