India collected only 37 runs in 8 overs. India will have to give a target of 320 to win today. West Indies batsmen are in good form. So it will be very difficult for India to win on such a pitch with a target below 300

Bet on India in this match. They scored around 87 runs now in 17 overs which is decent and they will accelerate pretty soon. I feel that they might reach something close to 350 due to the depth of their batting line-up.

West Indies will need to bat spectacularly if they wish to defeat India in this final ODI. Let's see what happens.

This West Indies side did not impress me. They have already lost the ODI series and this series is not over, but they are heading toward a 3-0 loss. A half century was scored by both Indian openers, but skipper Shikhar Dhawan was dismissed at 58 runs. Rain interrupted play and we're waiting for the game to begin. Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer batted. We'll wait until the pitch is ready by the groundstaff.

West Indies will need to bat spectacularly if they wish to defeat India in this final ODI. Let's see what happens.

India collected only 115 runs in 24 overs. Although India lost only 1 wicket. But their run rate is now only 4.79. So I don't see any possibility of a run like 350. However, the match is being delayed due to rain. There is no guarantee when the match will be played again. It has been raining for a long time. The match is likely to be abandoned.

I’m equally baffled as to why WI are performing so poorly especially in home conditions, and I strongly feel that the WI management should immediately introspect and ring in necessary changes that can help the team improve.

Well... I am not surprised. During the last few years, West Indies have performed poorly in cricket, apart from T20 format. The only good thing that happened to them during this period is the involvement of West Indian players in IPL and the success of the Caribbean Premier League. And although this might have helped the individual players, the grassroots cricket in West Indies continue in downward slide. And this is further exacerbated my the largescale migration of youngsters from this region to the United States and Canada.

Migration haven't affected the cricket in West Indies. As of now the cricket board served to be a big problem. Out of pressure most of the senior players announced retirement from cricket. Further the young team have been formed, and slowly they've shown progress. West Indies players involvement is a big success for them, and this has helped them to improve their cricket as well as on financial side.

Cricket is always a luxury when you don’t have food to eat. You know, that the situation of cricket in the West Indies is not very favorable. The board is also facing some problems. And we all know that even the players experienced some problems with the board.

Currently, similar complaints are coming from several countries which is not good news for cricket. A cricketer loses interest in his game if he does not get his due. On the other hand, if the board opposes them politically, there is no doubt that cricket in those directions will be destroyed. We know there is a wide gap between a cricketer's and a footballer's income which makes people more attracted to football. So for the larger interest of cricket we should evaluate a cricketer.

Yes it is true that cricket players are not appreciated by many of them.The respect that they have is not given by any country.If the players of each country are well respected then they will be more motivated and more respectable for the team.I want players from all countries to be treated with respect and given their true status

India vs West Indies 3rd ODI Match.
Today's match is suspended due to rain. If there is more difficulty, they can declare today's match abandoned.India scored 115 runs losing 1 wicket after playing 24 overs.As the game is stopped due to rain, if the overs are reduced at this moment, India will most likely lose to the West Indies.But India can run relatively well today.

India batted relatively well in today's match. In the beginning Shikhar Dhawan has scored 58 runs and now Shubman Gill has taken the lead and he has already scored 51 runs. The match has been scheduled for 40 overs due to rain. Since it has been raining for a long time may be both of the team try to implement new strategy. We have to wait, maybe the game will start in a while.

India scored 50 runs in the last 5 overs. The match will now be 40 overs due to a rain delay. India's collection of 163 in 28 overs. If they don't lose wickets very quickly then maybe India will be able to give a target like 270. If the target is more than 260, it will be very difficult for West Indies to win the match. But I feel today's match will be competitive like the previous matches.

Finally India have scored 225 runs losing 3 wickets. The rainfall have delayed the match and the overs were reduced to 36. Once again West Indies have lost the match against India scoring just 137 losing all wickets. Four players have lost their wickets without taking single run. In batting Gill contributed big scoring 98 runs missing his century as the overs were reduced. In bowling Chahal have taken 4 wickets allowing 17 runs.

Indian selectors will be worried now. Some of their bench players have performed beyond expectation and now it will be difficult to drop them once the regular players are available. Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel made use of their chances to the fullest extent. Yuzvendra Chahal proved once again that he is one of the top spinners in India, at least for the T20 format. But this is not applicable for Sanju Samson. He got a chance after long wait, and still he couldn't make use of it. Now Rishabh Pant and Ishan Kishan will continue as the first choice keeper batsmen for India.

Great outing for the new guys as a whole team, some say it's good to have such headaches but surely selectors hardly enjoy when they sit around the table because if you pick winning team then no one is going to write op-eds as you already have an excellent bench strength but if team loses then selectors are the first to face any backlace, that's where nepotism-favoritism accusation surface among fans.

Feel bad for Gill, he again missed out his maiden ton, again! This guy can't catch a break. Having said that i felt he was bit selfish as soon as he touched the 90's. Before he was going at nice pace but slowed down his inning for a ton. It was dead rubber so it doesn't matter much but situation could have been very different if it was important match.

As the match was delayed due to rain, the target for West Indies was 257 runs in 35 overs, according to the D/L method. Although 257 runs in 35 overs are not easy, as West Indies are a good enough team in the T20 format, they might try to win the match. But they lost all the wickets for just 137 runs. Chahal took 4 wickets for just 17 runs. Indian bowlers have been performing quite well in this series.

[Haunebu]

The final ODI was one-sided as expected. The Indian batsmen and bowlers were on fire throughout the match despite rain interruptions.

Looks like my predictions were spot-on throughout this ODI series and I won all my bets. The odds for India were decent throughout this series(Winner Overall, Individual match winners etc).

West Indies never had any chance to begin with. They are in perpetual decline. Back in 1990s, they could take on any of the big-3 teams, and they had the best pace bowlers at that time. Even a decade back, they were a decent squad, with players such as Chris Gayle. But now they don't have any players who can win them matches. And WICB is famous for mistreating their players based on their nationality, skin color and religion. See what they did with Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Ravindranath Rampaul was told that he couldn't be included in the national team, because he doesn't "look" West Indian.

But because West Indies were playing like T20, they lost all the wickets.If there is too much pressure in the game, then the match is never guaranteed to win, and yesterday's match was like that.

Kyle Mayers and Shamarh Brooks were back in the pavilion with zero runs on board. Nicholas Pooran and Brandon King played in their natural style, and in the end, West Indies got bundled out with 9 overs to spare. In T20 format, they have a chance because most of the West Indian batsmen are suitable for short bursts of fire. But in ODI cricket, there is a need to build the innings and form partnerships. And to be honest, I don't think that anyone in the current West Indian squad are capable of doing that.

The West Indians had no chance of winning the match, the target was quite large. I believe the West Indies obviously should have done better on the batting order. But because of the weather, that pitch became a lot more bowling friendly in my opinion. The way Indian bowlers bowled West Indies, they really have no chance in my opinion. West Indies did try to score runs as quickly as possible obviously because they had the DLS method in their mind. But that did not help them at all. Because that only resulted in them losing quick wickets. And no West Indies batsmen could continue the winning streak, even though a few of them got an excellent start.

West Indies was a complete failure in all the departments - batting, bowling and fielding. And they lack quality players such as Pollard and Russell, who can singlehandedly win matches for them. Jason Holder was part of the playing XI, but there is a limit up to which he can do. Anyway, from tomorrow onwards, the T20I series will start. This is the strongest format for West Indies and Indian squad is missing some of the regular players. There will be a total of 5 matches and for the West Indians this series represents a golden opportunity to get even against India.

After watching the performance of yesterday's match, I feel that we will see dominance of Indian players in T20 format as well. The target of yesterday's match was not very high. If the West Indies players had batted like T20 then there was a chance of winning this match. But West Indies players have shown very bad batting. It doesn't look like West Indies will be able to play well in T20 format. Indian bowlers have performed well in every match.

West Indies can do a lot better in T20. But West Indies is a very perfect team to play T20.But if we look at the past T20 matches, it is definitely not like throwing West Indies at once.But we can see the T20 match between India and West Indies in the coming days. But I hope India will perform well in T20I as well as in ODIs.And we will certainly believe that by playing on the field.

India is a good team if we talk about T20 format. West Indies is also favorite in this short format and they have ability to chase any team. I think West Indies are T20 specialist and they can fight with any team in this format. I hope they will spend good times in their next series.
