India vs West Indies 5th T20I betting odds and prediction at Stake

The final T20I between India and the West Indies takes place on Saturday, 17 October at 7 pm IST at Chinnaswamy Stadium. It brings the West Indies’ Indian tour to a close. The series hangs in the balance as both sides have won twice. We’re looking at the series so far, a preview of the next fixture, and our IND vs WI 5th T20 prediction. There is a Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch report, the probable 11s, and top cricket markets at Stake Sportsbook.

India vs West Indies 5th T20I match preview

The series is finely poised heading into the final fixture, and either side could claim outright victory with a win here. India will fancy their chances in Bengaluru, given that they managed to overcome Afghanistan after two super overs here in 2024. Rohit Sharma posted 121 not out in that victory. However, the Windies will take heart that Afghanistan pushed India to two super overs at this venue.

India won the 2026 T20 World Cup final against New Zealand by 96 runs and the West Indies ODI series 2-1. The Men in Blue would like to end 2026 on a high, and captain Shreyas Iyer will lead from the front again. Shai Hope, the West Indies captain, will want to ensure his team leave with their heads held high.

IND vs WI series so far

The India vs West Indies T20I series began with the Men in Blue drawing first blood. India won by eight wickets with 32 balls remaining. However, the West Indies would strike back with a stunning six-wicket win with nine balls remaining, chasing India’s 249/5. The third fixture was closer, with India holding on to win by 14 runs. The West Indies tied the series up in Hyderabad, winning by 24 runs. India fell short chasing the Windies’ 247/3.

Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch report and Bengaluru T20I record

Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium has hosted eight of India’s T20I fixtures, with a record of 4-3 in India’s favour in completed fixtures. The Men in Blue posted their highest T20I total at the venue (212/4) in the double super over Afghanistan fixture. The IND vs WI pitch report points to short boundaries, a fast outfield, and altitude, all great for batters. In fact, the conditions favour chasing teams, with a record of 5-3 for sides batting second.

Thundery showers and light winds are predicted for Saturday according to BBC weather reports for Bengaluru. The temperature will be relatively low at 28°C, but the potential for showers will be a concern. Because of the potential for rain, the DLS method may be required to set chasing targets should rain reduce overs.

IND vs WI probable playing 11 and players to watch

With the West Indies keeping the series alive into the final fixture, both sides will likely field a full-strength 11. Here are our predicted lineups, which will be confirmed at the toss.

India:

• Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper)

• Abhishek Sharma

• Ishan Kishan

• Shreyas Iyer (captain)

• Tilak Varma (vice-captain)

• Naman Dhir

• Nitish Kumar Reddy

• Axar Patel

• Arshdeep Singh

• Prince Yadav

• Mayank Yadav

West Indies:

• Shai Hope (captain and wicketkeeper)

• Jewel Andrew

• Shimron Hetmyer

• Rovman Powell

• Sherfane Rutherford

• Romario Shepherd

• Keemo Paul

• Shamar Springer

• Roston Chase

• Gudakesh Motie

• Shamar Joseph

India players to watch

Shreyas Iyer will want to end this series on a high as captain. He is one of the best performers in terms of runs, so he will use the fast outfield to his advantage.

Mayank Yadav could be a weapon to bring the Windies' batting down. He has the most wickets of any Indian player this series. His bowling could negate the batting-friendly pitch.

Abhishek Sharma has been consistent in racking up runs and hitting sixes. On this surface, his prowess with the bat will be key.

West Indies players to watch

Shai Hope ended the third fixture with the most runs of any player in the series. Here, he will want to add more runs and could be the difference between the two teams.

Roston Chase had taken six wickets after three fixtures, making him the leading wicket taker. Like Yadav for India, he could push against the ground’s batting advantage.

Shimron Hetmyer was rested for the ODI leg of the tour, meaning he should still have energy in the tank. He will be a cool head in the middle order who could rack up big run numbers.
