Confidence is one of the major factors for any team or player to do well. And West Indies look a confident side. In the four Test series they’ve played, they’ve managed to win at least one Test in each of them, which is a positive sign.

In the last one year, they’ve beaten Pakistan twice (once in the UAE and once at home), triumphed against England at Headingley and then dominated the series in Zimbabwe.

Moreover, they had a very good warm-up game against New Zealand ‘A’. Most of their key players got into their groove early. Thus, with confidence on their side, we can expect a tough fight from the West Indies.
