Top Performers
Jeetbig best batter of the match
There are 2 candidates who can be considered.
Shubman Gill has looked in outstanding touch in both the matches.
In the first ODI, he reached his fifty off just 36 balls.
Even in the 2nd ODI, he scored 40+ runs and scarcely looked in trouble.
The other key batter for India is Shikhar Dhawan, who has made 24 ODI centuries already.
The skipper’s 97 in the first ODI was pure class and he will be looking to lead the run scoring charts again.
He missed out on a big score in the previous game, thanks to a superb catch by Kyle Mayers but will want to make amends.
For West Indies, opener Shai Hope has been the standout batter.
He scored 115 from 135 balls in the second ODI and is our pick for West Indies’ highest run scorer against India.
Jeetbig best bowler of the match
Axar Patel bowled really well in the previous game despite the pitch favouring the fast bowlers.
His figures of 1 for 40 in his nine overs also included a maiden.
This showed his composure even when other bowlers were getting hammered.
He also played a blinder with the bat which earned him the Player of the Match award.
For the West Indies, Alzarri Joseph has been the most consistent bowler in the series.
He was impressive on Sunday with figures of 2-46.
He is our tip for West Indies’ top wicket taker in the 3rd ODI.
The other bowler to watch out for is Yuzvendra Chahal.
Chahal always springs to life in the latter half of a series. Till now, he has taken three wickets in the series and will be looking to finish the series on a high.
Who will win
India will win the match as they are too strong for the current West Indies side, whose batting order is brittle.
