India Win by 140 Runs as West Indies Fold for 146 in Ahmedabad
India beat West Indies by 140 runs at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 2 October 2025, wrapping up a comprehensive win inside three innings. West Indies, having won the toss and chosen to bat, were bowled out for 162 in their first innings. India replied with 448/5, a lead of 286, before West Indies folded again for 146 in the fourth innings. Ravindra Jadeja took the Player of the Match award. The result extended India's dominance over the Caribbean side: they have now won 75 of the 117 completed meetings between the two sides across all formats.
The margin of 140 runs does not capture quite how one-sided this contest was. West Indies' combined batting tally of 308 runs across both innings was 140 runs fewer than India managed with five wickets in hand in a single dig. Once India had posted 448/5, the match had only one likely ending. West Indies would have needed to bat for the better part of two days with a degree of application they had already shown they did not possess on this surface.
Jadeja's award sat alongside a broader story about India's spin attack. Narendra Modi Stadium has produced some of the most extreme bowling figures in recent Test history, particularly for slow bowlers. Axar Patel took 11 wickets for 70 runs here in February 2021, and Ravichandran Ashwin recorded 8 for 94 at the same ground the following month. The pitch again offered significant assistance to India's spinners, and West Indies had no answer to it.

Headline angle
India's 448/5 puts the match beyond doubt
India's first innings total of 448/5 dwarfed the Narendra Modi Stadium's average first-innings score of 206, giving the hosts a lead of 286 runs. Only five wickets fell across more than 400 runs of batting, a sign of how poorly West Indies bowled on a surface that should have offered them more.

Angles the data surfaced
- On spin-friendly Ahmedabad surfaces, individual bowling performance markets for slow bowlers may carry more interest than outright result lines, given the historical wicket tallies recorded here.
- First-innings totals at the Narendra Modi Stadium average 206 across 95 matches; India's 448/5 was well above that, which suggests top-order batting markets may be of greater value than total runs lines when India bat first at home.
- West Indies' twin collapses to 162 and 146 indicate that their batting markets against quality spin attacks on the subcontinent should be approached with caution in future fixtures.
- The toss has historically influenced strategy here, with teams opting to field 60% of the time; toss-related markets at this venue may reflect conditions that often deteriorate across five days.
