West Indies will lock horns with India in the series decider of the three-match ODI leg at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad.
Both teams would look to win the final encounter and seal the series. After emerging victorious in the opening game by 5 wickets, India faced a 6-wicket defeat in the second ODI.
Given India’s experimentation in the previous match, it has become difficult to foresee their strategy for the last fixture of the tour. However, it is improbable that India will persist with the same approach and risk demoralizing the dressing room. It is probable that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be included in the playing XI. The main uncertainty revolves around the middle-order combination they might opt for.

Brian Lara Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at Brian Lara Stadium is known for being slow and offering support to spin bowlers. Nevertheless, batters can still accumulate runs by spending time at the crease. While there haven’t been any Men’s international matches held here, the average first-innings score in WODIs at this venue stands at 147. As a result, the team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first, carefully observing the pitch’s behaviour as the game progresses.
