The Indian cricket team continues their international home season by hosting West Indies in their ongoing limited-overs tour. West Indies are scheduled to play three T20Is and three ODIs over the course of 16 days in the country. The tour kicked off with the opening T20I on December 6 which saw the hosts winning the game by 6 wickets. But the West Indies bounced back in the second match to square the series 1-1. The two teams will now face each other in a series-deciding third game on December 11 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The action will commence at 7:00 PM IST.
Ind vs WI 3rd T20I
The T20I series has been set up beautifully, giving West Indies a solid chance to become one of those rare teams to win a series in the shortest format of the game in India. However, India's record in T20I series deciders at home has been impressive in the last few years, making the game all the more unpredictable. The upcoming third T20I will then be followed by a three-match ODI series from December 15 onwards.

Ind vs WI 3rd T20I: Pitch report
The last time these two teams played at the Wankhede track, India failed to book a place in the ICC World Twenty20 2016 final. The pitch for the upcoming game looks more-or-less similar, with the team winning the toss will be looking to bowl first. Dew is expected to kick-in as the evening progresses. Overall, the pitch looks set to host another high-scoring thriller.
