    India defeated a young West Indies team in the lone ODI played here in 2018, easily chasing down a 322-run target against them. Six of the 10 wickets that fell during the game were to spinners, showing that there was support for the spinners. Early on, there shouldn't be much swings available, allowing batters to start swinging aggressively after the first ball.
