India vs West Indies 3rd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report and Live Streaming Details

KL Rahul is a vital part of the Indian middle-order

The third and final game of the ODI series between India and West Indies will be played on February 11 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

It’s going to be a dead rubber as far as the series is concerned. India were ruthless in their first two games and have already taken an unassailable lead in the series. As far as the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League is concerned, 10 points are up for grabs and West Indies will look to bag those.

In the second ODI, Nicholas Pooran won the toss and put India in to bat. The hosts had a shaky start but a solid partnership between KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav helped them gain control of the game. West Indies fought back to restrict the Men in Blue to 237.

What followed was a disappointing performance from the batters as none of them could adapt to the conditions. The lower-order batters tried hard but couldn’t get their side across the line as they were bundled out for 193, losing the game by 44 runs. The Indian bowlers were brilliant and helped seal the series in the second game.

West Indies need to be at their absolute best in the final game to finish the ODI series on a high.
