In the middle order, Windies possess one of the best all-rounder of the game, Jason Holder. The former skipper had great success with the bat and ball in recent time.
On the bowling front, Left-arm quick Sheldon Cottrell has certainly made an impact in the international games. He picked 33 wickets from the last 17 ODI games. Alzarri Joseph and Romario Shepherd to support the pace attack from another end. Rostan Chase is likely to be the lone specialist spinner

Toss Prediction
Considering the Dew factor and unknows about the venue track, the team would be looking to chase the score after winning the toss.
Hence, we anticipate the team winning toss will look to bowl first.
Winning Prediction
Windies have depth in resources and got fire-power in their side who can win the match on their own. Furthermore, they got a good bunch of pacers in the side. On the other hand, though statistically, Afghanistan holds better ODI record against Windies, they have vulnerabilities in the middle order batting.
Hence, based on the team combinations and recent performances we predict West Indies are the favorites to win the first game!
