The West Indies have won the toss and opted to bat first against India in a Pool-B match of the ICC Cricket World Cup at Perth. Paceman Mohammed Shami has returned to the playing eleven after injury. He has replaced Bhuvneshwar Kumar. For the Windies, pacer Kemar Roach has been included in place of spinner Sulieman Benn.With big-margin victories over Pakistan, South Africa and UAE, the defending champions are undisputed in this tournament so far, sitting at the top of Pool-B. The Windies, on the other hand, are third in the group. They have won 2 of the four matches played up till now.A victory for Team India today will virtually get them a quarter-final berth, while for the West Indies, a defeat will further dim their hopes of booking a place in the knock-out stage.
