Strategy Tips
- Pitch Factor: If the pitch looks dry, favor Gudakesh Motie and Sikandar Raza. If it's a green top, prioritize Shamar Joseph and Blessing Muzarabani.
- Toss: At Wankhede, chasing is often preferred due to the dew factor in night games. If West Indies chase, their top 3 (Hope, King, Hetmyer) are vital.
- Form: Brian Bennett has been in sensational form with back-to-back fifties; he is almost a must-have in every team.
