India vs West Indies Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing XI, Pitch Report & Updates For 3rd T20I

Preview:

In a dead rubber, India will take on West Indies in the 3^rd and final T20I of the series on Sunday. India held their nerves in the end and sealed a nail-biting win in the 2^nd T20I by 8 runs to claim the series. Penultimate over from Bhuvneshwar Kumar turned the things for the hosts. They were sloppy again on the field which is costing them immensely and need to work on their fielding skills more. Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant have been released from the bio bubble and both will miss the last T20I.

West Indies, on the other hand, came so close in the 2^nd T20I and couldn’t get over the line. Fighting knocks from Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell wasn’t sufficient for the visitors. They were short of runs in the powerplay which affected them a lot. They are yet to win a game on this tour and are hopeful of winning the 3^rd T20I.

IND vs WI, 3rd T20I Pitch Report:

It’s a belter of track for batting having said there is more assistance for the spinners as well. The outfield is lightning quick and hard to stop runs. The bowlers will get whacked if they pitch it up and they must be extremely disciplined in their line and lengths, especially at the death.

Injury News:

Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli won’t be available for selection as they have been given a bio-bubble break by BCCI.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

Venkatesh Iyer showing more maturity in the middle and progressing as a cricketer from game to game. He has scored 57 runs in 2 matches in this series at an excellent strike rate of 183.87.

Roston Chase is causing a lot of trouble for the Indian batters in this series. He is varying his pace extremely well and hardly went for runs. In the last 2 matches, he has scalped 5 wickets at an economy of 4.87 with the best figures of 3 for 25.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Yuzvendra Chahal will be likely to keep his place in the final eleven for 3^rd T20I. He has picked up 2 wickets in 2 matches in this series at an economy of 8.12.

Sheldon Cottrell did quite well in the 2^nd T20I where he picked up a wicket at an economy of 6.66. He is bowling well with the new ball and a good pick for your fantasy teams.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

Nicholas Pooran doesn’t show any half-measures with the bat irrespective of the format. With two back-to-back half-centuries in this series, he has scored 123 runs at an average of 61.5.
