Cricknation Update: IND vs WI 2026: 3rd ODI Match Preview (Source: BCCI) In a bid to draw curtains on the three-match series, India (IND) will once be up against the West Indies (WI) for the last time, as the third ODI between the two teams is set to be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh , on Saturday, October 03 .
India have already asserted their dominance in the series, having clinched back-to-back wins in Thiruvananthuram and Guwahati, respectively. Their skipper, Shubman Gill, has been immaculate with his ctaincy as well as on the batting front. Now they have a great opportunity to clean sweep the opponent and complete a 3-nil whitewash. On the other hand, West Indies failed to defend the strong score of 405–7 made in the second ODI, which led to them losing the series.
Although the Caribbean batsmen look quite comfortable batting in the subcontinent, their bowling requires a little more planning. With the one-day leg of the tour already out of their hands, they will look to pick up a consolation win on Saturday before moving on to the T20Is.
