In today's match, if India can get out two West Indies batsmen, especially Shai Hope and Rutherford, very quickly, then they might be able to stop West Indies and if these two players become dangerous, then West Indies will have a better chance of winning. And in every match, these two players have made good contributions and based on the performance of these two players, West Indies' total goes above 200 runs. However, India will probably make a change in their bowling line-up and this change might turn the turning point of today's match. However, India will not miss this win at home, so they will be desperate to win today's match by changing the squad in any way.

Looks like Bhuvi is all set to replace Arshdeep in the decider thanks to the latter's shoulder injury which may be a good thing since Bhuvi was in red hot form earlier this year though some time has passed since then. Their bowling lineup needs a boost.

He's terrific batter when on song but he has dodgy gameplay on full wide length balls and many teams in the past has successfully exploit this weakness, here somehow indians forget about it.

Didn't know about that. On a side note, I am still not used to seeing 240+ scores on a regular basis in the T20 format thanks to these flat pitches. Really pity the bowlers.

He played one season of IPL and was found out with in 2 match, almost everyone was bowling exactly same length to him and then in some internationals too.

Yeah, too much syapa with 230+ score, I prefer 180-200 type of encounter and for lols n giggles 120 type. Once a while won't mind runfest but not repeatedly.

The betting odds is pretty much in favour of India. The pre-match odds is around 1.30× for India, while it is above 3.20× for West Indies. Judging from the performance of WI in the last few matches, the odds shouldn't be like this. I mean, WI has played really well in this T20 series. The odds different shouldn't be high like this. The match has been interrupted by the rain. I hope it won't get abandoned.

For some reason, odds always favors the Indian team.

I get it, they're are good but I see such odds even when they're playing with second string team and in white ball they hardly play with the full strength team. Take this series as an example and look at the bowling lineup

The rain conditions so far have the potential to reduce the match overs and it is still raining. However, there is a possibility that the match will be abandoned due to rain. However, India will want to win today's match at any cost, so they may make some changes to India's squad. However, it will not be possible to determine the win or loss by looking at the batting odds of gambling sites because casinos may base betting odds on previous statistics, which does not give 100% accurate results. Even though the West Indies are a weaker team, West Indies are playing better than India at the moment.

The West Indies vs India match has become more challenging for both the teams as it has been reduced to nine overs due to rain. In this match, West Indies decided to go for the toss and bowl and invited India to bat. India have already played 4.5 overs and they have scored 71 runs for the loss of three wickets. India is undoubtedly heading towards a big run. Although Abhishek Sharma could not do much in today's match, Ishan Kishan scored 30 runs in 10 balls.
I think if India can score like 120 runs in nine overs, then this match will be very challenging for West Indies. I think if India's batting can stay frozen for a while, India can easily score 120 runs. Let's see where the result of the match ends.

[JSRAW]

Chinnaswamy stadium, grave of bowlers! It's hard for bowlers to hide here.

And cherry on the top would be 9 overs match with packed batting lineup in both teams. India went one batter short tho, just to facilitate an extra bowler.

[libert19]

Tuned in cause it was series decider but mood got ruined with decreased overs — Ishan showed good intent and then exceptional touch of Naman Dhir meanwhile, what happened to Shreyas? I was here with his image of performance in PBKS and here no timing whatsoever.

...and thereafter we have match abandoned, beautiful!

Indian team scored 118 in 7.4 overs and due to rain the match has been called off. Last time West Indies won a series in India was in 2002 and now they have to wait till next series to register a series victory in India. Although Indian team has scored 118 runs on just 46 balls which shows they were heading towards a big total, if rain has not interrupted game but we have seen West Indies chasing 249 in 18.3 overs in second T20I. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was given a chance after 4 years of wait and due to rain he was also not able to bowl.

The match saved the day for someone and who knows, it could be for India with the way WI is chasing the totals.

I thought this might be the end of the series when I read the match is delayed and it's raining in most of the southern part of our country. BTW I was surprised to see the name Bhuvi in the playing XI and if I am not wrong, he wasn't part of the original squad.

Overall, the series was at his best because the West Indies provided enough entertainment, and things had never been like this before the start of the series because they mostly were expecting a big win for the Indian team due to their quality and consistency, but West Indian batting gave impressive consistency throughout the series. Shai Hope was at the top of his game, while bowlers from both sides suffer badly because no pitch was suitable for them.

Both teams have a good level in bowling, but still here needs to praise West Indian performance because they are currently one of the worst sides in all formats, but they have good spirit. Indian selectors need to have some good work in the bowling department because after Bumrah and Shami, their sources are not consistent, and they want to have good improvement.

[Haunebu]

Damn! Proper shit ending to such an entertaining T20 series where the decider itself looked to have the potential of a thriller. India definitely looked like they would win it though and it seemed like the Windies survived thanks to rain interference IMO.

BTW I was surprised to see the name Bhuvi in the playing XI and if I am not wrong, he wasn't part of the original squad.

That's because Arshdeep suffered an injury which Shreyas understood himself and declared(Rare T20 moment) in a wise manner due to which Bhuvi was called up though it turned out to be pointless.

I wasn't worried about rain much because they has pretty good drainage system in ground, you only need to cover pitch and point. Usually it gets ready to Play with in 15-20 mins once it's stop raining.

Guess, someone in this thread mentioned that Arshdeep was injured ( assuming Bhuvi came as replacement) but he was also there.

I have found WI to be super and wiser in this series because the way luck has been with them, they won the first game, then tied the series and now there is no result in this series, which has made IND powerful equal to WI. In terms of bowling, whether they win or lose the game, the bowling performing is the nice. WI deserve praise from all sides for the way they have played the game as they want. No, IND is quite powerful in terms of bowling, they have not looked very nice this time, but the team has worked tight against them, which makes it feel like that. There are some early signs of decline, but they are not too bad, so they will become an old team in the coming games. We have to wait and increase the prediction of IND games.

What a hype it became around the India vs. West Indies game during this T20I series, especially after the last game; the series was level, and the 5th game was the decider for both teams, but today the game was drawn due to heavy rain. What's your favorite team for today's game? Honestly, I'm standing with West Indies because they deserve this and their efforts are seen by the whole world but unfortunately the game is drawn due to rain. India took a good start even though they lost early wickets but scored well. If this game continues and, for instance, India gives a good target, then there are high chances of  West Indies chasing it, and they did it in the second game. In the end, I'm very happy that the title player of the series went to Shai Hope.

That's true. The bookmakers consider India as favourite even if they play with a second string team. I have seen the Indian team to play with two different squads at the same against different opponents. The betting odds always stay in favour of India, it doesn't matter which squad they are using. India doesn't use the best batting and bowling lineup unless they are playing with SENA countries or important matches (world cup or WTC matches).

Probably IPL biases?

Most of the time, batting line up looks stacked because top 6 batters are stars for their respective franchise despite few of em being new in international cricket and last wc was won by young Indian team.

Bowling is always short tho, don't remember much but guess against England as well they didn't go with full strength bowling lineup.

Yeah, Likes of Bumrah, hardik and specialist spinner ( depending on current form) always join in ICC tournaments so all the white ball bilateral looks like a preperation for the next ICC tournament.

Super El-Nino effect, and it was pouring heavily throughout the night to be honest. WI got more positives from the whole series, they made the nothing series to be one of the most interesting with the way they batted in both ODI and T20I games. Now the real test will begin, NZ series is the real test and I hope they won't humiliate themselves

Yeah decent positives for windies but next t-20 wc (2028) is in Australia and newzealand so don't think we shouldn't read much as conditions would be different but they will build from here as far as confidence is considered and more importantly their final squad.

Don't really care about t-20 much atm because next main assignments are WTC and odi wc. Don't know which format will kick in first in kiwiland, i hope it's test first followed by odi and at last T-20.
