IND vs WI: India vs West Indies 3rd ODI Confirmed Playing XI, Dream11 team, fantasy tips

The Indian cricket team will face West Indies in the final ODI of the three-match series, on Wednesday at the Queen’s Park Oval, in a bid to finish a 3-0 whitewash. India head into the series finale on the back of a thrilling 2-wicket win in the 2nd ODI, courtesy of Axar Patel’s gutsy unbeaten half-century. The series earlier began with India winning the 1st ODI by a mere margin of three runs.

Batting first in the 1st ODI, India scored 308/7 in the 1st innings after Shikhar Dhawan played the captain’s knock and missed out on his century by 3 runs. In reply, Kyle Mayers and Brandon King took West Indies’ score to 305/6, before falling three runs short of the win. Meanwhile, in the second ODI, the home side batted first and set a high-scoring target of 312 runs for India. 

Shai Hope starred for the Caribbean side with a fabulous century, while captain Nicholas Pooran contributed with a half-century. However, the Indian batting line-up consisting of Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson constantly challenged the Windies bowlers, before Axar Patel unleashed havoc and took the visitors through to an unassailable 2-0 series lead. Having said that, West Indies will now look to win the final ODI and end the series on a high, while India looks to continue their winning momentum.
