Players to Watch: India
Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill has been the central figure of India’s batting performances in this ODI series. His unbeaten 223 in Guwahati was the defining innings of the second match and followed his century in the opening ODI.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli produced a major contribution in the first ODI and remains one of India’s most experienced ODI batters. His ability to build an innings will be an important part of India’s batting strategy.
Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma’s experience at the top of the order adds another established option to India’s batting group. He also scored 101 during the record chase in Guwahati.
Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav has been an important bowling option during the series. His wrist-spin variations can give India a different attacking option in the middle overs.
Mohammed Siraj
If selected, Mohammed Siraj would add pace and international experience to India’s bowling attack. His potential inclusion is one of the team-selection points to watch before the toss.
Players to Watch: West Indies
Shai Hope
West Indies captain Shai Hope played a major role in the second ODI with a century. His leadership and batting will be important as West Indies look to finish the ODI series strongly.
John Campbell
Campbell scored a century in Guwahati and has been one of West Indies’ prominent run-scorers during the series.
Amir Jangoo
Amir Jangoo also scored a hundred in the second ODI. His ability to continue that form could be important for West Indies’ middle order.
Alzarri Joseph
Alzarri Joseph remains one of the experienced pace options available to West Indies. His opening spells could be particularly important against India’s strong top order.

IND vs WI 3rd ODI: Key Match Battles
India’s Top Order vs West Indies Pace Attack
India’s batting has been highly productive during the first two ODIs. West Indies will need early wickets if they want to restrict the Indian scoring rate.
Shai Hope vs India’s Spin Options
Hope’s role will be particularly important during the middle overs. India’s use of Kuldeep Yadav and other bowling options could test the West Indies middle order.
West Indies’ Top Order vs India’s New Ball
West Indies demonstrated their ability to score heavily in Guwahati. India’s fast bowlers will therefore have an important role in preventing another rapid start.
Middle Overs
The contest could also be shaped by spin, strike rotation and all-round contributions. Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav give India different bowling options, while Roston Chase and Gudakesh Motie add variety to the West Indies attack.
IND vs WI 3rd ODI Match Analysis
India enter the final ODI having won the first two matches. Their batting has been the defining feature of the series, particularly during the extraordinary chase in Guwahati.
However, West Indies’ 405/7 in the second ODI demonstrates that their batting lineup can put substantial pressure on the opposition. The visitors will need greater control with the ball if they are to make the final match competitive.
From India’s perspective, the final ODI can also provide opportunities for squad rotation and for players who have not featured prominently in the first two games. Reports have specifically highlighted interest around players such as Siraj and Jaiswal.
IND vs WI 3rd ODI Match Prediction
The pre-match picture is shaped by India’s 2-0 series lead, their two eight-wicket victories and the form of their leading batters. West Indies, meanwhile, have shown that they possess enough batting quality to produce a large total.
Rather than treating a pre-match prediction as a certainty, key factors to monitor include:
- Toss and innings conditions
- India’s opening partnership
- West Indies’ powerplay batting
- New-ball movement
- Middle-over spin
- Death-over execution
- Final playing XIs
