India is set to take on West Indies in a decisive match that both teams view as critical for their chances in the tournament. India will be looking for strong performances from players like Abhishek Sharma, who scored runs in the previous match, and captain Suryakumar Yadav along with Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya, who need to contribute significantly with the bat. The bowling department will heavily rely on Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh to restrict the West Indies' explosive batting lineup.

On the other side, West Indies aims to capitalize on their batting strength with players like Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell expected to deliver under pressure. The bowlers, including Matthew Ford and Romario Shepherd, will be tasked with tackling the formidable Indian batting order. Moreover, the decision on whether Akeel Hosein will be included in the team adds to the anticipation surrounding this match.

Considering the pitch conditions at Eden Gardens, which generally favor high scores, both teams will need to strategize effectively to make the most of batting opportunities while maintaining robust bowling performances to secure a win in this 'do or die' scenario.
