INDvsWI Test: Head-to-head stats
The first test of the INDvsWI test series is all set to start from tomorrow but before that, let's have a look at the head-to-head stats.

The first test of the INDvsWI test series will begin tomorrow (July 12) in Dominica. It will be the first series for both teams in the new cycle of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC). India and West Indies will face each other in the longest format of the game for the first time since 2019. India defeated West Indies by 2-0 in that series to start their WTC campaign. West Indies lead the record of winning the most matches but in recent times, India have dominated them completely. So, before the series starts, here's how the two teams have performed in Test matches against each other.


INDvsWI: Head-to-head record in Tests

West Indies got the upper hand in numbers against India 30-22. Although the overall record favors West Indies, it is important to know that the Caribbean side has not won a single Test against India since May 2002.

  • Matches Played - 98
  • Matches won by West Indies - 30
  • Matches won by India - 22
  • Matches drawn - 46

Not only India have dominated West Indies in their home, they have got the upper hand on the Caribbean soil too. So, India have more advantages than them right now, but West Indies would like to very much change that.
