India aim to finish series on a high
India enter the final ODI with a 2-0 lead after comprehensive wins in Thiruvananthapuram and Guwahati. With the series already decided, the final match could provide opportunities for players looking to strengthen their case for future ODI assignments.
The bowling department will be under particular focus after the run-heavy second ODI. India conceded 405 runs before chasing the target, while head coach Gautam Gambhir has expressed concern about pitches that heavily favour batters and leave limited assistance for bowlers.
The West Indies, meanwhile, will be looking to avoid a 3-0 series defeat. Their batting unit showed its potential in Guwahati, but the side’s bowlers struggled to contain India’s chase.
With the ODI series concluding, India and West Indies will next meet in a five-match T20I series beginning October 6 in Lucknow.
