WI vs IND 2023: West Indies vs India 3rd ODI Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Brian Lara Cricket Academy

India and West Indies will square off in the third and final ODI at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on Tuesday, August 1. Both teams will be seeking a victory in the series decider after the West Indies clinched the second ODI to tie the series 1-1.

Just as in the first ODI, India employed a revised lineup in the second match, resting skipper Rohit Sharma and veteran Virat Kohli. The hosts took advantage of India's decision as the Hardik Pandya-led side were bundled out for a paltry score of 181, thanks to the outstanding bowling efforts of Romario Shepherd and Gudakesh Motie.

During the chase, the hosts withstood a strong stint from Shardul Thakur (3/42). Skipper Shai Hope (63* off 80) and youngster Keacy Carty’s (48* off 65) knock helped the West Indies to finish the game in 36.4 overs. The West Indies outplayed India by six wickets, snapping a run of nine consecutive bilateral defeats against the Men in Blue since December 2019.

The Brian Lara Cricket Academy, which will host the series decider between India and West Indies, will hold its first men's ODI match. Considering the previous women's ODI records at this venue, not a single match in the three matches managed to cross the 200-run mark.
