With an aim to whitewash T20I series against West Indies, the Indian will play the third game today at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. On one hand, where West Indies will play for pride, India will look to end the three-game T20i on a high note. In the first match, India won the first game by four wickets. In the next match, rains interrupted the play and the DLS method came into play. The match even today could have a delayed start due to the wet outfield in the morning.

For today, rain could once again play a spoilsport with the fact that there have been thunderstorms predicted for the entire day. Talking about the team combination for the third game, KL Rahul could make way into the team with the fact that Rishabh Pant who has been in the squad in place of MS Dhoni failed miserably in the first two games. The youngster was also subjected to criticism after he got out on 0 and four in the last two games.
There is not too much a change that could happen with the batting line up as Rohit Sharma or Shikhar Dhawan will not be rested. The bowling line up too might not witness too many changes as they have done well and have stepped up to the occasion. Now, let’s have a look at the squads:
West Indies (From): Sunil Narine, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran(w), Rovman Powell, Kieron Pollard, Shimron Hetmyer, Carlos Brathwaite(c), Keemo Paul, Khary Pierre, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas, John Campbell, Anthony Bramble, Jason Mohammed
