Cricknation Update: India vs West Indies.
(Source: BCCI/X and WindiesCricket/Instagram) The third ODI match between India (IND) and the West Indies (WI) , slated to be the last one-day of the ongoing tour, will be played on Saturday, October 03 . This game will be played at the newly built Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium , situated in New Chandigarh . India truly played like the dominating hosts in the couple of matches thus far.
They made the first run chase in the series opener on Sunday by eight wickets and then chased down a mammoth target of 406, which became their highest successful run chase in the format and second highest overall. The Men in Blue will now be eyeing a clean sweep. The West Indies, on the contrary, have batted brilliantly across the two encounters, but their bowlers failed to contain the might of India’s formidable batting unit.
Nevertheless, a fresh game offers another chance for the Caribbeans to test their skills, as their qualification for the 2027 World Cup also hangs in balance. Today’s win will be insignificant from the series point of view but it will give them the much needed confidence.

With 333 runs in the first two matches, Gill has not only shown that he is in form but is also the leading run-scorer in the series ahead of Saturday’s match, where he will be looking to score his third century-plus. Probable Best Bowler: Kuldeep Yadav Even on a day when bowlers were being hit for runs left, right and centre, veteran spinner Kuldeep Yadav has shown why he is held in such high regard in the cricket world.
With six wickets in as many matches, Kuldeep has also touched the 200-wicket mark in the format. He would like to end the series on a high with another impressive spell. Today’s Match Prediction : Chasing team to win the match
