WI vs IND Team Previews
West Indies
West Indies was on the verge of creating history as it had the chance to win a bilateral international series against India for the first time since 2016. However, they were held in their tracks as the visitors scripted a turnaround and won the 3rd T20. West Indies still leads the series 2-1 and have another chance at bagging the title.
Despite the loss, West Indies will take some positives from the 3rd T20 and try and build up on that. Kyle Mayers and Brandon King got the team off to a steady start for the first time in this series as they stitched together a 55-run partnership for the opening wicket. Brandon King put up his best score of this tour, scoring 42 runs at run-a-ball.
In the middle order, Johnson Charles has struggled to score but Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell were seen in a ferocious mood at times and will be the key batsmen for West Indies. The seamers, Alzarri Joseph and Romario Shepherd have picked up 4 wickets each and will lead the attack with the new ball with Obed McCoy playing a supporting role, while Akeal Hosein is the lone full-time spinner on the team.

India
Indian fans breathed a sigh of relief as the Men in Blue staged a strong comeback and kept the series alive with a clinical performance at the Providence Stadium. They must now look to keep up the good work and try and clinch the series by winning both its upcoming matches.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was brought in for Ishan Kishan, wasn’t able to make much of an impact in his debut T20I as he was dismissed for just 1 in the very first over of the chase. Shubhman Gill’s terrible run in T20I continues as he was dismissed for his 3rd consecutive single-digit score.
India must try and find a more consistent pair of openers for the shortest format. Suryakumar Yadav returned to form in style as scored a blazing 83 off just 44 deliveries to get strip the West Indies of any chance of making a comeback in the game.
Tilak Varma was once again impressive as he scored an unbeaten 49, while skipper Hardik Pandya gave the finishing touches. The top-line Indian pacers haven’t been up to the mark in the T20 format. Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar have picked up just 5 wickets between them and gave given away close to 9 runs per over.
It has been the spinners who have done the bulk of the heavy lifting as Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have picked up 4 wickets each. They will continue to play an important role in the last two matches.
India Playing 11
Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, YS Chahal, Mukesh Kumar.

WI vs IND Betting Tips
India bounced back well in the last match and we expect them to continue with the winning momentum. That said, the West Indies has some in-form players, especially Powell and Pooran, and getting them out cheaply will benefit India. Going by the past contests, we are in for another engaging encounter.
Bet on India to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Pooran is in good form this season and has scored 128 runs at an average of 42.66. He has scored at least 23 runs in 2 of his 3 innings this series and we are backing him to do so again in this match.
Gill hasn’t been in the best of forms in T20 internationals. He has scored over 25 runs in just 2 of the 9 innings he has played and we expect his struggles to continue.
The pitch at Lauderhill gets quite difficult to bat on during the second innings and we can expect plenty of wickets to fall during that time. We are therefore recommending an Over bet here.
