West Indies Tour of India 2026: Schedule, Venues and How to Follow Every Market

Full series schedule

The BCCI confirmed the tour in March 2026: eight matches in exactly three weeks, moving from the south of the country up through the east and centre before finishing in Bengaluru. Here is the complete fixture list.

The rhythm of the tour matters if you plan to follow it seriously: matches come every two to three days, which means squads rotate, pitches vary widely from venue to venue, and the team news an hour before the toss often says more than any pre-series opinion. Bookmark this page — and if you want the wider season picture, our India cricket calendar 2026–27 puts this series in context.

The ODI leg: what to watch

Three one-dayers in seven days, all day-night fixtures, at three grounds with very different characters. Thiruvananthapuram’s Greenfield Stadium has historically offered something to seamers under lights; Guwahati tends to reward batting depth; and the new Chandigarh venue is the least-known quantity of the three, which is exactly the kind of situation where the market takes longest to settle on a fair price.

For India, the ODI leg is part of the long build-up to the 2027 ODI World Cup in southern Africa, so expect selection to balance first-choice players with bench experiments. That has a practical consequence: pre-series assumptions about line-ups age badly, and the sharpest information window is the hour between team news and the first ball. If you are new to reading prices in that window, start with our plain-language guide to how betting odds work — it explains what a shortening or drifting price is actually telling you.

West Indies, for their part, arrive as a side that has repeatedly punished casual assumptions in white-ball cricket. Their power hitting travels well, and a two-match ODI burst from one of their top-order players can flip a series that looked settled. Respect that in how you stake: small, consistent amounts across the series will teach you far more than one big opinion on match one.

The T20I leg: five matches, five venues

Five T20Is in twelve days is a festival, and the venues are a tour of India’s most distinctive grounds: Lucknow’s tacky surface where 160 can be a winning score, Ranchi and Indore with their contrasting boundary sizes, Hyderabad’s true batting deck, and finally Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru — the smallest boundaries in the country, where no total is safe and in-play prices swing violently to match.

Treat each venue as its own event rather than extrapolating from the previous match. A player who looked unstoppable in Hyderabad can be strangled in Lucknow three days later purely because of the surface. The venue-by-venue nature of this leg is also why totals markets (team runs, over/under lines) are often more interesting than the simple match-winner price — they force you to think about the ground, not just the teams.

One practical note for night matches: dew. From October onwards, evening dew frequently makes the chasing side’s job easier because the ball skids on and bowlers struggle to grip. Markets know this — you will often see the toss winner’s price shorten simply for choosing to chase. Understanding that pattern before the series keeps you from mistaking a routine dew adjustment for real information.

How the markets will behave

Across the eight matches you will see the full personality range of cricket markets. ODI prices move in slow waves — a building partnership grinds a price shorter over ten overs, a double-wicket burst snaps it back. T20 prices lurch: one over from a set batter at Chinnaswamy can move a match-winner price further than an entire ODI session. Neither rhythm is a prediction machine; both are simply the market’s live estimate being updated ball by ball.

If you plan to bet live during this series, read our in-play betting guide first — it covers the bet delay, why markets suspend around wickets and reviews, and the discipline habits that keep a tense last over from making your decisions for you. And before the series starts at all, decide your budget for the whole tour, not match by match in the heat of the moment. Our betting budget guide shows a simple way to split a fixed amount across an eight-match series so one bad night never takes the rest of the tour with it.

Getting your ID ready before 27 September

The worst time to set up an account is ten minutes before a match you care about — verification and a first deposit are quick, but not instant, and rushing setup is how people skip safety checks. Do it the calm way, well before the first ODI:

1. Message support through the WhatsApp button on this page and ask for a new 11xplay ID. The register guide explains exactly what happens and what details are needed.
2. Complete verification early — our KYC guide covers why it protects your funds and how to finish it in minutes.
3. Make a small first deposit and, importantly, test a small withdrawal before the series. The withdrawal guide explains what normal timing looks like.
4. Log in on the device you will actually use on match nights — the app and mobile guide covers browser versus app access safely.
5. Set your series budget and write it down. Decided in advance, it is a plan; decided during a super over, it is a mistake.

Do all five steps once and every match of the tour — and the rest of the 2026–27 season — is simply a matter of logging in.

Conclusion

The West Indies tour of India 2026 packs three ODIs and five T20Is into three October weeks, across eight venues with genuinely different characters. Learn the schedule, respect the venue-to-venue differences, understand why ODI and T20 prices move so differently, and have your ID verified and funded before 27 September rather than during the toss.
