WI Playing XI vs IND: India vs West Indies 3rd ODI – West Indies find themselves in complete disarray after losing the ongoing 3-match ODI series against India. With a 2-0 victory in favour of India as things stand, West Indies will try their best to avoid a whitewash with the return of star all-rounder Kieron Pollard in their lineup and bowler Romario Shepherd likely to retain his spot.

Kieron Pollard who missed the 2nd ODI with a slight niggle is deemed fit and is likely to make a return in the final ODI as West Indies will try to salvage a draw against the Men in Blue. The Caribbean side was comprehensively beaten on the Indian soil by a resurgent team India who secured a series victory after their disastrous test and ODI series loss against South Africa.

West Indies Probable XI: Shai Hope (wk), Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard (c), Jason Holder, Fabian Allen, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith
Kieron Pollard is to make his way back into the squad by replacing Brandon King. On the other hand, Kemar Roach might find himself on the bench with Romario Shepherd joining the Playing XI. With the series done and dusted, West Indies might make further changes to test their squad and other players like Hayden Walsh Jr might get a chance to feature in the game.
The West Indies team failed to register big scores with the bat and was equally fruitless with the ball too. Lackluster performances in both the ODIs are some of the key failures of the Windies team.
In the first ODI batting first West Indies registered a low score of 176 which was quite easily achieved by India in just 28 overs. The 2nd ODI was no different. Opting to bowl first, India scored 237 runs. Chasing this target, the West Indies batting lineup fell like a pack of cards as the entire team was back to the pavilion after scoring 193 runs.
