None of India's group matches are in the West Indies. However, if they make it to the Super Eight stage, all their games will be in the Caribbean. The Caribbean islands span two time zones; UTC -5:00 and UTC -4:00.
However, all West Indian venues for the T20 World Cup fall in the UTC -4:00 zone. Indian Standard Time is UTC +5:30, so the match timing in India will be 9.5 hours ahead of local time.
