Shubman Gill won the toss and decided to bowl first. The India captain said the Guwahati pitch had more grass and appeared slightly patchy, which could give fast bowlers some assistance in the early overs.
Gill also pointed to the need for India to improve their fielding intensity during the middle overs after the opening match.
West Indies captain Shai Hope said his team would also have preferred to field first. However, he backed his batters to put up a competitive total and give the bowlers something to defend.
