MATCH PREDICTION: IND vs WI, 1ST ODI
Tomorrow is the day! The 6th of February 2022 will go down in Indian cricket history as a watershed moment. The Indian cricket team will become the first nation to play in 1000 ODI matches, and Rohit Sharma and his teammates will undoubtedly want to make this a memorable encounter by winning it.
Covid-19 has invaded the Indian camp ahead of the series, with Shikhar Dhawan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, and a few members of the support staff among those affected. India will also be coming off a dreadful performance in their previous ODI series, in which they were thrashed 0-3 by South Africa.

India vs West Indies, 1st ODI out of three ODIs.
Date and time: 6th February, 2022, 1:30PM IST Time
