Kohli looks to clip it but gets a faint part of his blade and the ball goes left of Shai Hope. He gets across and takes an easy catch and two of the big wickets are gone now. West Indies are right on top now. Second time in this series that Alzarri Joseph has got Rohit and Virat in the same over, unreal!

Nicholas Pooran has taken the DRS for an LBW decision. On the first replay, we can see that there is no bat involved and Ball Tracker then confirms that the ball was sliding well down leg. West Indies have wasted an early review here.
0.3 over (0 Run) NOT OUT! A huge appeal for LBW but the umpire turns it down. A good-length delivery on off and nipping back in sharply this time. Sharma looks to defend but misses. He gets rapped up on the pads and there is a huge appeal. The umpire is unmoved and West Indies take a review. The replays roll in and the Ultra Edge shows no bat involved. The Ball Tracker rolls and it shows that the ball is missing the stumps. So Rohit Sharma survives.

We are ready for play! West Indies are seen in a huddle as the Indian openers, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan stride out to the middle. Kemar Roach to start proceedings with the ball here. West Indies take the knee as the Indian players are seen having a hand on the heart to show their support for the BLM movement. Let's play...
Nicholas Pooran says that they wanted to bowl first again and in the last match, they couldn't chase it down but will look to make amends today. Adds that the batters need to give themselves a chance by getting in and staying on the crease a bit longer. Informs that they have a forced change with Akeal Hosein missing out and Hayden Walsh coming in place of him.
Rohit Sharma says that they will bat first. He says that they always wanted to post some runs on the board and give the bowlers some chance to do what they did the other night. He adds that there was no dew in the last game and they want to post runs on the board and they want to give their bowlers another chance. He says that they have made three changes. KL has niggle and misses out. He adds that Hooda and Chahal also miss out today.
West Indies (Playing XI) - Shai Hope (WK), Brandon King, Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran (C), Jason Holder, Fabian Allen, Odean Smith, Hayden Walsh (In for Akeal Hosein), Alzarri Joseph and Kemar Roach.
India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Shikhar Dhawan (In for KL Rahul), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (In for Deepak Hooda), Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar (In for Shardul Thakur), Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav (In for Yuzvendra Chahal) and Prasidh Krishna.
TOSS - Up goes the flip of the coin and Nicholas Pooran calls it. It lands in favor of India and Rohit Sharma has elected to BAT first.
PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta is pitchside and he is joined by Ajit Agarkar. DDG says that there is a bit of breeze and it's exactly the same pitch as the last match. Ajit says that it is a lovely pitch and there was good bounce on offer for the faster bowlers but the same bounce might not be there as it looks more whitish. If the dew does come on, the sides might look to chase and DDG concludes by saying that it is a good ODI pitch with something in it for everyone.
The news going around is that we might see a couple of changes in the Indian side today. Kuldeep Yadav may get a look in. Meanwhile, Shikhar Dhawan is all set to be back at the top of the order. West Indies, on the other hand, might see their skipper, Kieron Pollard coming back.
West Indies, on the other hand, are facing similar problems they have faced in the past. Their batting group has failed to play out the allotted 50 overs and that hurt them in both the games so far. Shai Hope is the man they have been relying on in this format in recent times and it is high time that he delivers. The bowling has been pretty decent from the Windies and if their top-order can lay the foundation, they have the firepower to explode in the end. Can they lift their game and win this final ODI? Or will India continue to dominate? We shall find out. Toss and team sheets in a while.
India were expected to win this series despite a poor performance in South Africa and they have lived up to the expectations. However, the bigger goal for India is to try out some players in specific positions in specific conditions and with Deepak Hooda and Suryakumar Yadav putting up good performances in the middle order, India will be quite happy with how things have panned out. Another concern was that India was not taking wickets in the middle overs and India have rectified that aspect of their game quite well in this series. The only concern will be the form of Virat Kohli but given the class of the former captain, a big score might just be around the corner.
Hello and a warm welcome to the third and final ODI of this three-match ODI series between India and West Indies. India have already sealed the series with dominating performances in the first two ODIs and will be eyeing a whitewash here. West Indies, on the other hand, have a lot to ponder about and they will be desperate for a victory here with 10 World Cup Super League points up for grabs.
