India have sealed the three-match T20I series against West Indies with one match still to go. The Men in Blues will look to test their bench strength in the third and final encounter on August 6 (Tuesday) at the Province Stadium in Guyana.

India have used their combinations to perfection and will be highly satisfied by their bowling. A revamped bowling unit packed by youngsters has done well which will keep the Men In Blues in high stead. Especially Navdeep Saini has been impressive of the lot who is one for the future. However, they will have work with their batsmen and fix their middle-order woes, which have hurt them even in the World Cup. Also, with the ICC World T20 scheduled next year in Australia, Virat Kohli & Co will have to settle their combinations as early as possible.

West Indies, on the other hand, will have a lot to work on. They have struggled for consistency, which has hurt them badly so far in the series. Besides, the batters have failed terribly and failed to provide support to their bowlers. The batting unit needs to work on their application and put their best foot forward as the two-time World Champions has begun their preparation in the bid for the third World Cup trophy.

Date and Venue: West Indies vs India, August 6 (Tuesday), at the Province Stadium in Guyana, 8:00 PM IST

Match Prediction

West Indies have played well in patches and have struggled to be consistent which has hurt them in the series so far. India, on the other hand, have capitalised on the crunch situations to dominate the series. The third encounter will be a different challenge with new conditions as both teams will move to the Caribbean Islands.

Despite playing in an alien condition, the Men in Blues will go as the clear favourites over the host to register a whitewash and go forward to the ODI series high on confidence.
