India vs. West Indies

With both teams winning their first matches in group play, the winner here would almost assuredly earn its way into the semifinals. 

The two sides won very different matches. While West Indies started the tournament with an enthralling, tight win in a low-scoring affair behind strong performances from its bowlers, India eclipsed 300 points led by Shikhar Dhawan's century. It was an impressive win by India over South Africa, and was certainly more convincing than the 26-run margin would suggest. 

India will certainly be the favorite, but West Indies is not to be underestimated. This is a team that can keep pace with India on its best day, and with a chance for both teams to take control of this group, I expect an excellent match.
