West Indies

The no-result in the second game of the series has dashed the West Indian hopes of winning the series. They were in a good position when the heavens opened, and their good performance with the bat was to go in vain. Batting first, the West Indies scored 352 runs for the loss of eight wickets.

Keacy Carty hit a super hundred, and the skipper Shai Hope kept him company with a well-compiled 49. But Justin Greaves and Matthew Forde provided the real impetus to the innings. Forde, in particular, was in devastating form and smashed 58 runs from just 19 balls with eight sixes.

Keacy Carty has risen to the top position in the batting department for West Indies with 493 runs from his last ten games, with an average of 70.43 and a strike rate of 94.62. Sherfane Rutherford has also scored 351 runs from his previous eight encounters with an average of 87.75 and a strike rate of 129.04.

The quick Alzarri Joseph will spearhead the bowling attack for the Windies. He has picked up 12 wickets from his last seven games with a strike rate of 29.58. Matthew Forde has also picked up 11 wickets from his previous five games with a strike rate of 23.18.

West Indies Expected Playing 11
