Cricket News: India VS West Indies, 3rd ODI Match Preview-India Tour Of West Indies

With one more game left in the ODI series, India won the first two games and the series 2-0. They'll try to give some other team members an opportunity and assess the depth of their bench.

On the other side, despite dropping their matches in this series, the West Indies played outstanding cricket. Before starting the T20I series, they will try to get a consolation victory. Despite being a dead rubber, based on the history of the series, one should anticipate a close game.

In the absence of Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer stepped up with two half-centuries in the first two ODIs. He has been in good form throughout the series and has taken advantage of his opportunities.

In the absence of Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Deepak Hooda, and Axar Patel took their chances in the second ODI. All eyes will be on these four players in the final ODI to replicate their form. Shikhar Dhawan, the captain, has also done an excellent job in commanding his troops.

The hosts have coped far better in this ODI series than they did in the previous one against Bangladesh. They have been competitive with both the bat and the ball. In the ODIS, Shai Hope has been their talisman run-scorer. Skipper Nicholas Pooran also found some form.

Their batting performed admirably in both games, but their inexperienced bowling attack cost them the first two ODIs. West Indies will be eager to win the final ODI and head into the T20I series, their more comfortable format, with a sense of accomplishment.

Pitch Report: WI VS IND

The pitch has aided batters significantly in the first two ODIs, and the same is expected in this match. Because of the relatively flat surface, the team chasing the score will have an advantage.
