India vs West Indies 2019: 3rd T20I, Mumbai - Match Prediction

India vs West Indies 2019: 3rd T20I, Mumbai – Match Prediction; The highly anticipated clash is just a few hours away from the start at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. Both the teams have swashbuckling players to make things fall in place for their respective teams. The rubber is locked 1-1 after two-time world champions West Indies turned the tables in style in the second T20 International in Thiruvananthapuram following a Virat Kohli special in the series opener at Hyderabad.

Surprisingly, the Indian team is facing issues with their batting department. Rohit Sharma is yet to fire in the series while the finishing problem is continuing for the team. The only positive for the team is the form of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. Shivam Dube proved his mettle with the bat but failing to contain opposition with his bowling.

High-scoring thriller on the cards:

The young Rishabh Pant will be in the spotlight. Coming in at No.4, Pant made scores of 33 not out, 18, 6, 27, 19, 4 in the last seven T20s that he featured in T20I format for India. His previous T20 fifty came against West Indies in August, in Providence. With Sanju Samson, waiting in the wings, Pant will have to come good sooner than later.

Meanwhile, the West Indies team would be happy with the way how things have panned out in the second T20I game at Thiruvananthapuram. The openers Evin Lewis and Lendl Simmons are in brilliant form while Nicholas Pooran showed his mettle with the bat. The southpaw Shimron Hetmyer is also delivering the goods to make things fall in place.

Kieron Pollard, Evin Lewis and Lendl Simmons have represented Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the trio is likely to trouble India in the series decider. All the three players have fond memories of playing in the Wankhede Stadium. However, they have a bit of concern with their bowling department, which needs to be addressed ahead of the game.

India vs West Indies 2019: 3rd T20I Match Prediction:

It will be a battle of equals at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday night. If Indians are the hosts of the game, a lot of West Indies players have enough knowledge of the venue. Especially, the skipper Kieron Pollard, who played over a decade for Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. Even on the paper, both the teams look equal. However, history says that the Indian team will always bring their A-game for the deciding game. It will see India entering the game as favourites to win the game.
