THE TEAM NEWS
INDIA
- India edged a thrilling clash last time out against the West Indies as they ran out eight-run victors to seal the series win but they will now be eager to secure a whitewash in this final clash.
- Rishabh Pant was excellent as he whacked an unbeaten 52 from 28 deliveries to help India to 186/5 before the bowling unit did its job to hold off a valiant run chase from the Windies.
WEST INDIES
- West Indies fell narrowly short in their quest to chase down 187 for the win in the second game of their T20i series with India and they have only pride at stake in this third and final contest.
- Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell were excellent as they combined for a 100-run partnership with both scoring into the 60s and that pair will need to be at their best again if they are to topple the Indians.
THE PREDICTION
India were given a scare in their second matchup against West Indies but did enough to keep their opponents at bay to secure the series. The whitewash will now be in their sights as they look to wrap the series up in style but the Windies will have other ideas having pushed the hosts so close in game two. It was an enthralling contest thanks to some brilliant batting from the tourists and while they can go close again, India should have enough quality with bat and ball to secure a 3-0 series success.
