West Indies to win
I’m backing West Indies to win this tour match, given their recent form and experience. The conditions at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium seem to favour batting, and I think their top-order batsmen, especially Kraigg Brathwaite and Kavem Hodge, will make the most of it. The West Indies XI will provide a good challenge, but I think the national team will come out on top. 🏏👍
I’m putting my money on the West Indies to take this one home 🏆. With their recent form and experience, they’ve got a slight edge over WISXI. The batting-friendly wicket at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium will play to their strengths, and I think they’ll make the most of it. 🤑 Should be a great match to watch! 🏏
