India meet West Indies for match 7 of 8 in the West Indies tour of India, 2026, a T20I at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. It is listed for Wednesday 14 October 2026, with the start at 19:30 IST. India have home conditions on their side, which our model counts as a small edge.
Both sides lean on their batting depth, so the contest is likely to be decided by whoever handles the big overs better. Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is a true surface with an even contest and dew that helps the chasing side, so we expect a flat / batting surface with a first-innings score around 199–230 for India and 179–206 for West Indies.
Conditions look settled, so the surface and the toss should matter more than the weather. The toss lean is to bowl first. Most captains chase on a true surface because they can pace the innings to a target.
