IND vs WI Dream11: With T2O series in line, India will take on West Indies in the third T20I on Tuesday (August 7). Hardik Pandya-led India have lost the first two T20Is and need to stay alive third T20I to give themselves a shot at winning the five-match T20 series. On both losses, India failed to close the games. Batting has also looked a bit edgy, with none of the batters barring Tilak Varma looking fluent.
The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and Shubman Gill are yet to hit the straps. With no scope for further slip-ups, India will be hoping to put on a better batting display with the bat in hand. Meanwhile, West Indies would be hoping to seal the deal by winning the third T20 itself.

IND vs WI: Hardik Pandya-led India aim to put on a better batting display
Only Tilak Varma has played a fearless brand of cricket by taking on West Indies bowlers. Suryakumar, who owns T20I cricket, has looked a bit off-color. At that, the top Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan have failed to deliver blistering starts, which has put pressure on middle-order batters. Hardik Pandya has also failed to strike at a brisk strike rate.
Bowling looks settled, but India would be expecting a better performance in death overs by Mukesh and Arshdeep Singh. Hardik won’t make any drastic changes in the third T20, as the wait will continue for Yashasvi Jaiswal for T20 debut.
