India v West Indies ODI Series Preview – In Numbers

India is at No. 1 in the Reliance ICC Team Rankings for One-Day Internationals at the moment with 113 ratings points, while West Indies is down at No. 8 with 96 points.
 
The visitors will, therefore, be desperate to put that situation right when the two teams face off in a five match ODI series in India, starting with the first game in Kochi on Wednesday (October 8). That aside, of course, both teams will be giving the contests extra attention as it is with these matches that the preparations for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 will kick off. There are just over fifty One Day Internationals left across the world before the start of the ICC Cricket World Cup on February 14, so every match is crucial as the build-up gathers pace.
