On June 27 the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will witness a battle between favourite India and the underdog West Indies. While India are still unbeaten in the tournament with four wins from their five games where the game against New Zealand was called off. On the other hand, West Indies have registered only one win so far from their six games. It would be interesting to see whether India could maintain their winning streak or West Indies become successful to break it. H2H record Both the teams have met 8 times in the history of ICC World Cup where India registered wins 5 times and West Indies 3. The result clearly shows the dominance of India over the West Indies. Predicted Playing 11 India: Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Vijay Shankar, MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah West Indies: Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Carlos Brathwaite, Ashley Nurse, Sheldon Cotterell, Kemar Roach, Oshane Thomas [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imgonline-com-ua-twotoone-VutslQDAcrm.jpg] Weather and pitch report The weather will be clear tomorrow and fans can enjoy a full 50-over game. The pitch is slightly dry which certainly help the spinners. Prediction for match result The pressure will be on both the sides, though more will be on West Indies as they need to win the game to keep their little hope alive to qualify for the semi-finals. On the other hand, India are in a quite good position and will try to keep their winning momentum on so that they could seal their berth for the semi-finals. Conclusion In conclusion, this India vs West Indies game in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 should go in India’s favour. Even though India’s in-form opener Shikhar Dhawan’s exclusion could create a problem, they have a couple of players who can handle the situation pretty well. On the other hand, West Indies will not get the service of their star all-rounder Andre Russell who has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury. That might affect their game. 

On June 27 the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will witness a battle between
favourite India and the underdog West Indies where India won in 4 games.

ICC Cricket World Cup History
The ICC Cricket World Cup is a competition that takes place every four years.?The tournament is considered one of the world's most viewed sporting events. The first ever ICC Cricket World Cup took place in 1975 in England. Interestingly, the inaugural ICC Women's Cricket World Cup was held two years before the Men's, namely in 1973.
There are no restrictions for playing in the World Cup, but the top eight ranked teams gain automatic qualification, while the remaining seats are fought for in a qualifier tournament. A total of 20 teams have played in an ICC Cricket World Cup game, but the number of participants has dwindled over the years.
For the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, only 10 teams will participate, including two qualifiers. This is a far cry from 14 teams that took part in 2015.
The next ICC Cricket World Cup will be held in 2023 for men. In addition to that, the next ICC Women's Cricket World Cup will be held in 2021.

Profile

Virat Kohli has had an impressive career since making his debut in the Indian team in 2008. He first broke into the national side in ODIs, soon followed by a 2010 debut in T20s and a Test debut in 2011.

Since then, his rise has been meteoric and he eventually took the mantle of India captain from MS Dhoni. ODI captaincy was up first in 2013, followed by Test captaincy when MS Dhoni announced his retirement in 2014. Finally, Virat Kohli was appointed T20 skipper in 2017.

IPL Career

Virat Kohli made his IPL debut back in 2008 itself for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Since then, he has remained in the team all these years.

After an average debut season, his form picked up in subsequent years. For two straight seasons, he was in the top 3 of highest run-scorers in IPL.

In 2011, he was promoted to vice captain and even took over as skipper when regular, Daniel Vettori was injured. When the latter retired in 2013, Kohli took the mantle of RCB captain, and has led the side ever since.

Now, for IPL 2019, Virat Kohli heads into the new season as the captain once again.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-151142" src="http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/kohli-ap-m1.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli" width="759" height="422" />

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to expectations, there is a lot of pressure on the team. For years, they have always been so close and yet so far. On paper, RCB have had the strongest batting line-up of all other teams, yet, they have failed to deliver time and again.

Between 2011 and 2017, RCB boasted of the deadliest batting line-up. To be precise, joining Virat Kohli was South Africa's AB de Villiers and West Indian giant, Chris Gayle.

Inspite of this, and Gayle smashing a few centuries here and there, RCB almost always bottled the job.

So, will the 2019 season be any different? Can captain Virat Kohli inspire his men to rally forth into victory? Or will Virat Kohli and the RCB squad succumb to defeat yet again, as was the case all these years?
