IND vs WI 3rd ODI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report | IND vs WI 3rd ODI Dream11 Prediction Today | Trinidad Pitch Report

Well, what about that? Out of the blue, West Indies pulled off a morale-boosting victory, levelling their three-match series against the more fancied India lineup.

There may be no World Cup for the Windies to look forward to, but the efforts of Shai Hope and the bowlers is cause for optimism. The victory in the second ODI provides some joy after what has been a difficult period, but now the challenge is backing up that big effort with another.

For India, it is likely that the likes of Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav will get another run. India’s collapse a few days ago is room for improvement, with players keen to make an impression with the World Cup creeping up ever so slowly.

IND vs WI 3rd ODI Possible Playing XIs

Barring injury, West Indies should stick with the same team that won the second ODI.

West Indies: 1. Brandon King, 2. Kyle Mayers, 3. Alick Athanaze, 4. Shai Hope (c & wk), 5. Shimron Hetmyer, 6. Keacy Carty, 7. Romario Shepherd, 8. Yannic Cariah, 9. Alzarri Joseph, 10. Gudakesh Motie, 11. Jayden Seales

It’s tough to predict India’s playing XI. Going by Rahul Dravid’s words, there is a chance the visitors will rest Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli again.

India: 1. Ishan Kishan (wk), 2. Shubman Gill, 3. Sanju Samson, 4. Suryakumar Yadav, 5. Hardik Pandya, 6. Axar Patel, 7. Ravindra Jadeja, 8. Shardul Thakur, 9. Kuldeep Yadav/Yuzvendra Chahal, 10. Umran Malik, 11. Mukesh Kumar/Jaydev Unadkat

IND vs WI 3rd ODI Dream11 Prediction – Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

West Indies:

• Shai Hope continues to impress against India. After his match-winning 63* in the second ODI, Hope has now scored 983 runs at an average of 49.15 against the men in blue.
• Is this the day Shimron Hetmyer fires? He’s been out twice to left-arm spin this series (one vs. Jadeja and one vs. Kuldeep). He does have a strike rate of 100+ against both in ODIs, so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
• Gudakesh Motie is bowling nicely. The impressive spinner has taken 2/26 and 3/36 so far in this series. On a pitch likely to aid turn, expect Motie to play an important role once again.
• Romario Shepherd can fetch fantasy points. He has taken seven wickets in his last five matches, along with two starts with the bat (36 and 26). His 3/37 helped break the second ODI open for his team.
• Alzarri Joseph has taken 22 wickets in 13 matches at an average of 29.72 against India.

India:

• Ishan Kishan looks in the best form among India players. He has struck two half-centuries so far in this series.
• Shubman Gill struggled for some fluency in the second ODI, but he can get going at any moment. He still has an impressive average of 61.45 after 26 ODIs (SR 104.88).
• It’s a big game for Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav. Samson averages 56.50 in 12 matches, while Yadav still hasn’t really fired in the format (avg. 23.80).
• Kuldeep Yadav has taken 31 wickets in 17 innings against West Indies in ODIs (avg. 22.09). Ravindra Jadeja is one wicket away from becoming the top wicket-taker in WI-IND ODIs. He currently has 44 (avg. 29.22).
