With two convincing victories under their belt, a confident India look to assert their superiority in the triangular one-day series when they take on West Indies on Saturday.
The two teams are playing each other after a gap of two years and with a lot of newcomers in both sides, are unaware of their strengths and weaknesses.
India, who have already assured themselves a berth in the final, will like to treat the two matches with West Indies as a precursor to the title clash which in all probability would be played between the same teams. For the West Indies, who defeated Zimbabwe in the only match they played so far, it is a crucial game because theoretically there is still a possibility of their being relegated.
The record is heavily tilted in favour of West Indies who have won 40 of the 63 matches played between the two countries with India winning 21. Indian captain Saurav Ganguly, after the last match against Zimbabwe, had said he would like to experiment with the team now that they were through to the final. Some of the players have not got a chance to play and might get their opportunity tomorrow.
Pacemen Debasish Mohanty and Harvinder Singh and all- rounder Reetinder Singh Sodhi have not played any match in this series so far and there were indications that all three may be accomodated tomorrow. Bureau Report
