India are the hosts with a record to protect and a bowling attack to patch. No visiting side has won a T20I series here since February 2019, and West Indies have not beaten India in India in any format since 2002.
On Saturday (7p.m., Bengaluru) the series stands at 2-2, and one win would end both runs.
Shai Hope is the reason. West Indies have won all three matches on this tour in which he finished not out, while India have won all four in which they dismissed him. His unbeaten 102 in Hyderabad made him the first West Indian with three T20I hundreds.
India are without Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Arshdeep Singh is doubtful after being struck in Hyderabad, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been added as cover.
India vs. West Indies 5th T20I prediction: Who will win?
Bengaluru has small boundaries, true bounce and likely dew, and that suits the side with the deeper power hitting. India bat down to Axar Patel at No. 8, and Sanju Samson has already made two half-centuries on this tour, the latest a 23-ball 56 in Hyderabad. He also took apart Roston Chase, the bowler who has troubled Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan most.
The pattern of the series favours India. West Indies have won only when Shai Hope stayed not out, and India have won all matches in which they dismissed him. Bhuvneshwar Kumar's addition gives India another way to attack Hope early, even if Arshdeep Singh misses out. West Indies' bowling is the weaker side of the contest, with Shamar Joseph going at 14.17 an over.
