IND vs WI Match Details — 3rd ODI

With the series over, India will head into the finale at a newly constructed venue seeking to fix a bowling unit that has leaked runs throughout the series, while the West Indies will want to avoid a 3-0 thrashing and give fringe players like Naman Dhir a chance to impress on his home ground. Expect more rotation from the India camp, with Prasidh Krishna sidelined due to a hamstring injury and rookie seamer Anshul Kamboj drafted in as cover.

IND vs WI — Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium Pitch Report

This is the maiden men's ODI at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium, so there's no 50-over precedent to lean on, but the venue has a reputation as one of the flattest, most batter-friendly surfaces on the IPL and bilateral T20I circuit, with true bounce and small square boundaries.

  • Win Batting First: 47%
  • Win Bowling First: 53%
  • Best Suited For: A surface that starts on the slower side for seam bowlers before settling

Average Scores

  • Average 1st Innings: 265

  • Average 2nd Innings: 274

IND vs WI Toss Prediction

With only two data points at the venue and a slim chance of rain around the toss, the greatest captains at Indian venues in this belt continue to prefer bowling first to assess the surface condition, though the historical numbers are split evenly.

Prediction: West Indies to win the toss and opt to bowl first.

India vs West Indies Match Prediction – Who Will Win

India remain strong favorites to complete a 3-0 clean sweep, aided by a batting unit that has been firing on all cylinders throughout the series and home advantage at a venue that should favor stroke-play. The uncertainty stems from India's bowling, which has given 811 runs in Guwahati alone and struggled badly in both powerplays — an area that the West Indies' middle order, led by Shai Hope, Roston Chase, and Sherfane Rutherford, will look to exploit in order to regain pride and avoid a whitewash.

Prediction: India (IND) to win.
