More team news next.

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Almost at the coin-toss now, and it will be interesting to see how the captains read the pitch, and the decision they make. Team news following that.

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: India’s bowlers have shone in brief spurts, but there has been no consistency, with the pacers being hammered and the spinners also being figured out. The likes of Abhimanyu Mithun and Vinay Kumar have been expensive at times, and the dangers of that were exposed by Watson and Dunk. A similar thing can happen against the Windies unless Sachin finds a solid Plan B to rely on.

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: The Universe Boss is still capable of hitting massive sixes, and will be a major threat in the short dimesnions that have been presented in this tournament. Will he feature for the Windies? And what is India’s plan against him?

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Another question is what batting order India want to go with. Sachin is a lock at opening the batting, but despite being the form player in the first two matches, Gurkeerat Mann Singh has seen his role taken over by Irfan Pathan as a pinch hitter. That’s not an experiment that has worked, so will Sachin and co go back to the plan that has worked reliably?

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: While West Indies will have two attempts at getting accustomed to this new pitch ahead of the semifinal round, this is India’s one and only attempt at doing so. Will they be able to figure out the lay of the land early and get enough out of this match to give them momentum in the semifinals? Runs have been easy to come by so far in this tournament, let’s see if that remains the case.

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Approaching the time for the toss in Raipur, where a big stadium is certain to be fevered with anticipation of watching some of the biggest stars in the game’s history. The energy is certain to be through the roof from the off.

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: It seems we have asked this question ahead of every India Masters match, but the Australia contest brought us the closest we have been. In just 33 deliveries, Tendulkar was on fire as he scored 64, and while that was a great innings in a vacuum, it still didn’t dent Australia’s mammoth total.

Moreover, it felt as if Sachin still had a gear he could go to. Will he find that extra special something to make a truly memorable knock?

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Another Australian tops the list for most wickets, Xavier Doherty on 8 thanks to his five-fer against, but Windies’ Ashley Nurse not far behind on 7 wickets so far.

For India, both Pawan Negi and Dhawal Kulkarni have 5 wickets so far.

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: SHane Watson is just in monstrous form, having struck three centuries to handily lead the run-scoring charts. Dwayne SMith has been WI’s highest scorer, while Tendulkar became India’s with his 64 against Australia.

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: The Windies have tinkered as well. They have had three different captains in three matches — Lara in the opener, then Gayle in the next match when Lara was rested, and most recently Ramdin when both Lara and Gayle were unavailable.

Will those Windies stars make an appearance against India Masters?

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: After having a set batting order to start the tournament off, India have offered promotions and chances to some of the other players in the squad, such as Naman Ojha and Saurabh Tiwary coming in for the match vs Australia. Will they get another game today, or is it back to the reliable Rayudu and Yuvraj Singh in those roles?

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Similarly, the Windies started off with a strong pair of wins, but fell a little flat against Sri Lanka in their last match in Vadodara. Chasing 174 on a tired track, the Windies chase never gained any sort of momentum, and they ultimately fell 21 runs short.

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: AFter winning their first three matches, India saw themselves ambushed by Australia Masters, as Shane Watson and Ben Dunk scored centuries to put up 269. India were never in the chase, losing by 95 runs.

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: India hold on to the top spot in the table with their three early wins, on 6 points and with a very healthy net run-rate. West Indies down in fourth with 4 points, but with a game in hand and capable of leap-frogging Australia and potentially Sri Lanka to take second spot with a win today. Both teams should already be confident of qualifying.

India Masters vs West Indies Masters Live Score, IML 2025: After starting off in Navi Mumbai and a brief pitstop in Vadodara, the IML is moving on to its third and final venue for its inaugural edition. The Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium will host the closing stages of the group, before playing host to the semifinals and final as well.
