Match Prediction:
With the series tied at 1-1, the West Indies and India will play the last one-day international (ODI) on Tuesday morning at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba. India won the first game by 5 wickets in Barbados but the West Indies leveled the series on Saturday with a 6 wicket triumph. Continue reading for a preview of this decider. This game begins at 09:30 a.m. local time in Tarouba.
West Indies put in an excellent effort with the ball and then fought hard with the bat to win on Saturday. They will, however, need to sustain those levels in order to win this match.
In the second ODI, India struggled with the bat and lacked their customary enthusiasm in the field. We expect India’s standards to return to the top level in this game with the comeback of players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

West Indies Preview
Shai Hope’s team seized the opportunity presented by the Indians in the previous game. After losing by a large margin in the first game, the hosts staged a dramatic comeback, with their bowling assault devastating Indian batting. The Indians will field their core players in the series finale, making it a more difficult challenge.
As India’s new ball attack probes them, the team will seek for a strong start from Brandon King and Kyle Mayers. Shai Hope performed admirably in the previous game and will play a crucial part in the middle order alongside Alick Athanaze Shimron Hetmyer. For the team to win this game, Keacy Cartly and Romario Shephard must perform effectively in the finishing role.
Kyle Mayers and Jayden Seals will be needed for productive spells with the new ball. They both bowled well in the previous game.

India Preview
Rohit Sharma will make his comeback after missing the last game. He’ll want to avenge the loss in the previous game, in which the team’s management paid the price for complacency. In this game, their 20-year record against the West Indies is on the line, and Sharma will try to lead from the front and inspire his team to victory.
As West Indies’ new ball attack performed effectively in the last game, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will seek to provide a strong start in this encounter. Virat Kohli adds a wealth of experience to the middle order and will be hoping to succeed alongside Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav. Hardik Pandya, Shardul Thakur, and Ravindra Jadeja constitute a tough lower middle order that will seek to hit big.
West Indies have good stroke players, so expect good new ball periods from Hardik Pandya and Mukesh Kumar. Umran Malik and Shardul Thakur must use their speed to put their opponents under strain. Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav have both troubled West Indian hitters and will try to do so again.
