Players under the spotlight
Kuldeep Yadav made his ODI debut in the previous match, and he is expected to retain the position in this match too.
We should wait and see to know whether Pant will also get a chance to make his One-Day International debut through this game.
The man to look forward in the West Indian side is Alzarri Joseph. The pace bowler is very much successful in the T-20 format, but he is yet to make his presence felt in One-Day Internationals. In the previous game, Joseph bowled a spectacular delivery which took the wicket of Ajinkya Rahane, and if he succeeds in continuing the same form, then things will not be that easy for the 'Men in Blue.'
On the other hand, Yuvraj Singh is leading the batting attack for India, and he will be given adequate support by Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane. After his comeback in January 2017, Yuvraj has averaged 45, and he will try to continue the same form in the Carribean soil too.
Virat Kohli's form is the major point of concern for the Indian team. This series is crucial for Virat as a loss here may pose a threat to his captaincy after coach Anil Kumble resigned citing differences with him. The pace options for India are Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and they can also try the spin bowling of Ravichandran Ashwin to tame the West Indian batting.

Pitch and weather conditions
The weather at the Queen's Park is clear, and there is no chance of a shower. The pitch has a little grass on it, and it will favor the fast bowlers to a great extent.
As per experts, the best decision a captain can take on this surface is winning the toss and ask the opponents to bat first.
