Dealing with problems of their own - [em dash] a misfiring top-order -- [em dash] Windies know where they have to improve. Chandrapaul Hemraj is yet to fire. But, on the top of the order, Kieran Powell has one significant score. Marlon Samuels has been a poor reflection of his old self. Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer need to continue their good form if the Windies want to share the trophy
Hemraj might be dropped for Sunil Ambris to strengthen the Windies top order. On the Indian side, Kohli should stick to the same playing XI as in Mumbai.
