India have won the toss and Virat Kohli has decided to bat first in the ICC World Cup 2019 cricket match against West Indies. The India vs West Indies game is the 34th match of the tournament, and it gives India the chance to go second in the table, if they manage to secure a win against Jason Holder's men. West Indies will be aiming to register a victory in the match, if they wish to retain any hopes of reaching the semi finals of the World Cup. India are playing an unchanged XI, which means the match is another chance for Mohammad Shami to share the new ball with Jasprit Bumrah. West Indies, on the other hand, have made two changes, with Sunil Ambris and Fabian Allen coming in for Ashley Nurse and Evin Lewis.
With New Zealand losing to Pakistan on Wednesday, India are the only remaining unbeaten team in the tournament. Including the match against West Indies, the Men In Blue have four games remaining, which is the most amongst the ten participants of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. A victory will go a long way towards sealing India's place in the semi finals of the tournament, and weather is largely expected to stay clear at Old Trafford in Manchester on Thursday. With India winning the toss, they will be hoping to put a big score on the board, and then bank of their spinners to put pressure on the West Indies batting line up, which features the explosive Chris Gayle at the top.
