IND beat WI by 4 wickets | India vs West Indies, Highlights And Cricket Score 3rd ODI Match - Commentary

So India need to chase down a big total of 316 if they are to win the series. West Indies have a good total to defend. Dew might not be their friend but can they find a way to negate it or will India once again chase down a total of in excess of 300 and seal yet another bilateral series? Join us after the break to find out.

The star of the innings, Nicholas Pooran is up now for a quick chat with Ian Bishop. Pooran starts by thanking Jesus for the opportunity he has got. He says he is satisfied with his innings and they just tried to execute their plans. Tells that he was not thinking about his personal score and was just looking to help his team. On the pitch, he says though the boundaries are big here, the wicket is a good one to bat on. On what he thinks of the total on the board, he replies it is a good total and they are confident and hopes that dew does not trouble them.

India started off well with the ball. They kept things tight at the start and were also able to pick up wickets at regular intervals but as Pollard and Pooran continued, the hosts lost control and they were carted away. Navdeep Saini bowled well in patches and that ball to pick up Chase was a corker but he succumbed to the pressure of the death overs. He was hammered all around the park. Not only him, Shami, Yadav and Thakur were taken apart in the end as well and they have a huge score to chase now.

53 runs in the last three overs have propelled West Indies to a total well above 300. It was Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard at the end which helped them get to this mark. What a performance! The visitors started slowly with Shai Hope and Evin Lewis getting to a 50-run stand in the 13th over. Then India made a comeback with two quick wickets. Roston Chase and Shimron Hetmyer steadied the ship with another 50-run stand but they too got out in quick succession. Then, came the inning-defining partnership between Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard. They stitched a record-breaking stand of 135 runs and by the time Pooran fell for a magnificent 89 runs, West Indies were well on their way to 300. Pollard, continued on his merry way, and his 10th ODI fifty got them to a total of 315 in their fifty overs.

Kuldeep Yadav to Roston Chase. Chase is saved just marginally. Floated delivery outside off, Chase looks to drive but the ball turns away from him and goes to the keeper. Pant fails to collect it and by the reaction of Kuldeep, it looks like he has dropped. The square leg umpire, then goes upstairs to see whether Chase was in or not as the ball pops out of Pant's hand and goes onto hit the stumps. It is a very close call as Roston's foot is inside the line and grounded as the ball hits the stumps and they light up. But his feet go up in air as and when the bails are off their place. When the stumps lit up his foot was in so that's why the umpire has signaled it as Not Out on the giant screen. Close escape for Chase. Also, regarding the dropped, yes it is a relatively easy chance put down by Pant as it is confirmed by the Ultra Edge later on. Roston is a lucky man that he has been saved off a caught behind and stumping on the same delivery. As far as Pant's luck is concerned. Well, he is not lucky as the stumping by mistake does not give his side the wicket.

Saves a certain boundary nonetheless.

West Indies (Unchanged Playing XI) - Evin Lewis, Shai Hope (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Roston Chase, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard (C), Jason Holder, Keemo Paul, Alzarri Joseph, Khary Pierre, Sheldon Cottrell.

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli (C), Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (WK), Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Navdeep Saini (ODI DEBUT, IN FOR DEEPAK CHAHAR).

Kieron Pollard, the West Indian skipper, says that the last game here was a high scoring one. Tells that it is matter of assessing the conditions and playing accordingly. On the batting, he says that they have done really well. Feels that there is nothing like one specific area and says that they need to be good in all the areas. Hopes that they will be able to put a big score batting first.

Virat Kohli, the Indian captain, says that dew will be a big factor. Tells that they played against England last time where defending 350+ was difficult. On the final, Kohli says that the mindset needs to be right. Tells that they have won matches even after losing tosses even in Tests. Says that the sides need to be open for taking the challenges. Believes that one cannot play reckless cricket if they win the toss. Mentions that Chahar is out injured and Navdeep Saini makes a debut in the ODIs.

TOSS - The Indian skipper flips the coin and this time Pollard calls the wrong side. INDIA WILL BOWL FIRST.

Pitch report - Murali Kartik is for the pitch report along with Sunil Gavaskar. Sunny G says that the spinners will get some purchase off the cracks which are present on the surface. Tells that the cracks are softer and hence the spinners might get some turn, not vicious or anything but certainly some turn will be on the offering. Kartik says that sides chasing has won most times on this ground. Gavaskar reckons that the dew will be a major factor in this game and hence the captains will have to make smart calls in deciding their playing XI.

West Indies landed the first punch in Chennai. Hammering was the response from the Men in Blue in Visakhapatnam. It is time for the showdown in Cuttack. Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer were the destructors in the first ODI while Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul demolished the Men in Maroon in the next. Interestingly, Virat Kohli who was at his brilliant best in the T20I series is yet to get going in the series and this could well be his chance to lead from the front and help the team bag the series. What about the West Indies? Pollard has led the side well and would hope that his men turn up for one final time in the long tour of India and go home with a massive series win. Toss will be an important factor in this game. We will have the answers for all at the end of the game. Before that, stay with us for the Toss and team updates.
