India will take on West Indies in the first of the 3-match T2OI series at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium at Hyderabad later on Friday evening. The match is slated to commence at 7 pm (IST).

Virat and Co. will start as strong favorites against the 'Maroon Brigade' owing to their impressive record against the Windies in the shortest format of the game and better track record in T20Is over the past season.

While India would be high on confidence after beating Bangladesh 2-1 in the last T20I assignment, Windies would look to fare better after being upset by Afghanistan in their last T20I series.

The Windies would also look to improve upon their dismal performance against India as they were handed a 3-0 series whitewash by the 'Men in Blue' when the two teams faced off in a T20 series in the United States and the Caribbean.

While India would be skippered by Virat Kohli, Windies will be once again helmed by all-rounder Kieron Pollard, who took charge as captain of the team in the series against Afghanistan
