IND vs WI, 3rd T20I, Dream 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report, and other updates.

India will be taking on West Indies in the 3^rd and final match of three matches T20I series on Sunday. The IND vs WI game will be played at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The host nation India has taken an invincible lead in the series after they defeated Windies by a narrow margin of 8 runs in the second match. For India, it was Virat, Pant, and Venkatesh who did wonders with bat and some great overall performance from the Indian bowling unit that ensured the men in blue not just won the match but also get their hands on the trophy.

On the other hand, the tour of India has been a disappointing one for the West Indies team. Not just do they go down 3-0 in the ODI series but are also on verge of getting whitewashed in the T20I series. They will be hoping to register their first win of the tour and end it on a high. For them, it was Chase who led the bowling unit grabbing 3 wickets for 25 runs, and Pooran & Powell who fought hard to take the team across the winning line but unfortunately they just fell short. India will miss the services of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant in this game as they are rested.

IND vs WI: Dream 11 Top Picks

Venkatesh Iyer, the tall batting all-rounder led the charge of the Indian batting unit from the front as he scored a quickfire 33 runs off just 18 balls with 4 fours and a six that took India to a match-winning total of 186 runs.

Rovman Powell was the top scorer for the West Indies who scored 68 runs from 36 balls with the help of 4 fours and 5 sixes. He was involved in a 100- run partnership with Pooran that almost got Windies over the line.

Roston Chase was the star bowler for the Caribbean team who registered figures of 25-3 in his quota of 4 overs. He took three big wickets of Rohit, Virat, and Suryakumar Yadav.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the most experienced bowler for India took charge of taking India to the series-winning victory.

Who Will Win – Match Prediction

India having already won the series, will be confident of whitewashing the Windies. They have dominated the WI team in both matches and will love to keep the momentum going. On the other hand, the West Indies team would like to end the tour on high with their first victory of the tour that will also save them from getting whitewashed. If they are to win the last match then West Indies bowlers need to step up and restrict men in blue to around 150 or 160. India being the home nation as well as the team in form can be credited as the favorites for this one.
