T20I caravan heads to Indore in Madhya Pradesh as both India and the West Indies have very little turnaround time. The last game in Ranchi produced over 500 runs, with the visiting side going on to win the encounter. More fireworks are expected in Indore on a ground which has shorter boundaries and is known for big scores.

India will be worried about their bowling and may look to bring in Prince Yadav for the match.

In Ranchi, with the exception of Mayank Yadav, every bowler struggled because of the dew and the flat batting track. The top-order has to be more consistent, and Abhishek Sharma has to make his good starts count.

West Indies will be on cloud nine after an amazing win where their batters dominated the proceedings. Just like the hosts, even the Caribbean side will be under immense pressure with the ball in hand. If it wasn’t for Roston Chase’ 3/24 from four overs, they could have conceded a lot more on Friday, which would have taken the game away.

IND vs WI: Predicted best performers of the match

Best batter – Shai Hope

The 32-year-old Shai Hope stole the show with the bat in Ranchi as he scored a brilliant 102 off 43 balls and stayed not out. Having scored 154 runs already in the first two games, Hope is the best batter across both teams, and one can expect more fireworks from his bat on Sunday.

Best bowler – Mayank Yadav

After a long time, Indian fans witnessed Mayank Yadav at his best. The 24-year-old bowled with great pace in Ranchi and picked up 3/36 from his three overs. The best ball of the night was the one that got Rovman Powell out as the speed gun clocked it at close to 150 kmph.

Who will win the IND vs WI 3rd T20I match?

The visitors may have won the second game, but there is enough quality in this Indian side to stage a comeback. A few possible tweaks here and there in the bowling department could see the Men in Blue emerge as the winners on Sunday night.
