India vs West Indies Match Prediction, 3rd ODI – Who will win today’s match between IND vs WI?

The third ODI match between India (IND) and the West Indies (WI), slated to be the last one-day of the ongoing tour, will be played on Saturday, October 03. This game will be played at the newly built Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, situated in New Chandigarh.

India truly played like the dominating hosts in the couple of matches thus far. They first managed a convincing win by eight wickets in the series opener on Sunday and followed it up by chasing down a mammoth target of 406, which became their highest successful run chase in the format and second-highest overall. The Men in Blue will now be eyeing a clean sweep.

The West Indies, on the contrary, have batted brilliantly across the two encounters, but their bowlers failed to contain the might of India’s formidable batting unit. Nevertheless, a fresh game offers another chance for the Caribbeans to test their skills, as their qualification for the 2027 World Cup also hangs in balance. A win today would be immaterial from a series viewpoint but will give them the much-needed confidence.

IND vs WI: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill will certainly have a lot of eyeballs surrounding him, especially with the kind of performances that the ace batter has shown in the previous game with an unbeaten double century. With 333 runs in two games already, Gill is not only shown that he is the man in form but is also the highest run-getter of the series ahead of the fixture on Saturday, where he will look to make it his third century-plus score.

Probable Best Bowler: Kuldeep Yadav

Even on a day where the bowlers were hit for runs left, right, and centre, experienced spinner Kuldeep Yadav has shown why he is as highly regarded in the cricketing fraternity. With six wickets in the couple of games, Kuldeep has also touched the 200-wicket landmark in the format. He will look to sign off the series on a happy note with yet another impactful spell.
