Prediction: India vs. West Indies 5th T20I lineups and pitch report for Chinnaswamy Stadium — Who do you think will win? originally appeared on Cricket News . Add Cricket News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . India's T20 form reads LWLWW; West Indies' reads WLWLW. Both sides come to Bengaluru having won twice, with the decider on Saturday, October 17. Hyderabad showed how thin India's margin is at home. Chasing 248, Sanju Samson hit a 23-ball 56, including four sixes and six fours, and Abhishek Sharma faced only three balls in the first three overs. West Indies still won by 24 runs. Keemo Paul took 5-41, and Gudakesh Motie dismissed Naman Dhir first ball and had another wicket in the same over. West Indies' bowlers had gone for 13 or fewer in 12 straight overs. Roston Chase has dismissed both Abhishek and Ishan Kishan twice, conceding under 1.5 runs a ball. Kuldeep Yadav is likely to be left out again because of Bengaluru's small boundaries. India vs. West Indies prediction: Who will win? Strip the series down to its numbers and it points one way. Runs have come at 11.49 an over, the fastest rate in any series of more than three matches, and 98 sixes have been hit. In that kind of contest, the side with more batters who can take a game away early has the edge, and that is India. Samson and Abhishek Sharma open a line-up that runs to Axar Patel at No. 8, and Roston Chase, who has dismissed Abhishek and Ishan Kishan twice each, was taken apart by Samson in Hyderabad. West Indies' problem is in the other direction. Joseph is going at 14.17 an over, yet he is expected to stay because they have no other bowler with his pace. West Indies have not won a series in India since 2002, and India should hold on to that record at home.
