West Indian captain, Jason Holder, says that he was also looking to bat first as looking at the wicket, if there is anything, it will come only in the first half an hour. Informs that Sunil Ambris and Fabian Allen come in for Evin Lewis and Ashley Nurse. On the team's performance, Holder says that they are getting closer and closer to playing a complete game and hopes to produce another good performance today.

Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, says that the decision to bat is because of the wicket looking hard. Adds that the Indians have two wrist spinners and Kedar Jadhav plays a good role as well. Feels that in the second half, the spinners will come into play. On the batting plans, Kohli says that understanding the situation is the key, add 50-60 runs and then build on it and not throw it away. Informs that there is no change in the team which played against Afghanistan.

TOSS - The captains and the match referee are all in readiness for the toss. West Indies skipper, Jason Holder has the coin in hand. Up it goes, Indian skipper, Virat Kohli calls Heads and it comes down as Heads. INDIA OPT TO BAT.

PITCH REPORT - Mike Atherton and Ian Bishop are the pitch analysts for the day. Atherton says it is the same pitch used between West Indies vs New Zealand. Informs us the short boundaries are on the square but reckons the dimension won't play a big part as it is an even ground. Ian Bishop from the other end of the pitch, looks at it and says the pitch has a few scratches as there are bowlers' foot mark on it as the last game played here was on Saturday. Informs that in the previous game few balls turned in the latter stage of the game between West Indies and New Zealand. Bishop feels if a bowler has pace then he can extract some movement from the surface. Also says with the sun beaming out the captain winning the toss should bat first.

Welcome to the coverage of match 34 of World Cup 2019. India take on West Indies today in what is a very vital clash for both sides for completely different reasons. India, with a win here will get closer to qualify for the semi-final. The Men in Blue come into this one on the back of a thrilling win against Afghanistan. It was their bowlers who took them over the line in that game. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who missed out the last game due to injury was back in training. If he's fit, it will be interesting to see whether he replaces hat-trick hero, Mohammad Shami, someone else or is left out of the playing XI. West Indies, on the other hand, need to win this one in order to keep their hopes alive in this tournament. A loss here will see Jason Holder's side become the third team after Afghanistan and South Africa to officially be out of contention for a semi-final berth. They will miss the services of Russell who has been ruled out of the tournament. Will West Indies tinker with the playing XI that lost a nail-biting game against New Zealand? Only time will tell. The Caribbean side can blow out any team if and when on song. Can they upset India and stay alive in the competition or will India be the only unbeaten side in the tournament? Stay tuned to find out as the toss is not far away.
