India vs Windies 2018: 3rd T20I, Chennai – Match Preview; Here comes the final match of the Windies tour to India 2018. The hosts would enter the match with an eye to clean sweep the series. On the other hand, this would be the best time for Windies to come out all the guns blazing, as there is nothing to lose for the team.

On the personal front, Rohit Sharma would like to extend his flawless record as a skipper. As far as the team is concerned, there are no concerns whatsoever for the Indian side. They have got all the sections of the game covered with quality players.

Meanwhile, the Windies is trying to figure out their opening combination. So far, their two trials have misfired and hopefully, they would come with a better pair for the final game. As Carlos said, the batting lineup looks pretty unsettled.

The visitors would play for the pride in the final T20I game of the tour. They haven’t made any significant mark in their tour to India 2018. As far as the positives are concerned, they would be happy with the emergence of Shimron Hetmyer and Oshane Thomas.

Oshane Thomas has been exceptional and he has troubled the Indian batsmen on a regular basis. Thomas skills will certainly help the Windies side in the upcoming series.

Changes:

With the series already in the kitty, Indian team management might give a chance to their benched players. Jasprit Bumrah might also get the rest. On the other hand, the Windies might bring Obed McCoy.
