The decider. A common theme of limited-overs’ series in India in 2019.
It began with Australia in a thrilling ODI series. Then, Bangladesh and West Indies took India to a decider in T20I duels. Now, it is time for a decider in the ODI format, which has the potential to get people talking about a series of which its context is questionable.
India broke a five-game ODI losing streak at home with the most convincing of performances in Vizag. West Indies, after a fine effort in the first ODI, were horrendous in the field in the second. So, which way will this go?
Key Players to Watch/Key Stats
- Virat Kohli has scored four runs in two matches, which includes a golden duck.
- Nonetheless, it will still take a brave person to back against Kohli as he is still averaging 71.66 at a strike rate of 97.06 vs West Indies.
- Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul hit hundreds in the last match. Rohit has played two ODI knocks at Cuttack, which includes a score of 72.
- Shreyas Iyer is proving to be quite the find at number four. In this series alone, he has either rebuilt the innings or finished superbly.
- Shai Hope in ODIs in India: 10 ODIs, 659 runs, average: 109.83.
- Ravindra Jadeja in ODIs at Cuttack: 3 matches, 6 wickets, average: 19.83.
- Kuldeep Yadav is coming off a fine hat-trick in Vizag.
- Shimron Hetmyer has performed admirably vs India in India: 106, 94, 37, 13, 9, 139 and 4 (run out).
- Sheldon Cottrell (million dollar IPL man) had a poor outing last game. But, his first spell in the opening ODI of 5-3-12-2 is worth considering.

Pitch and Conditions
The last ODI played at Cuttack was in 2017; a very high-scoring match between India and England.
However, the scoring rates in domestic T20s in Cuttack this year weren’t too high. However, Shreyas Iyer, on the eve of the match, said the pitch will quicken up with dew in the second dig. Expect the team who wins the toss to choose to chase.
