🏏India vs West Indies: 3rd ODI at Brian Lara Stadium - 01/08/2023🏏 - Page 6

Pravesh: "So much chatter around Ishan, samson playing position. people need to understand its a call between playing in the respective position vs getting enough match time/practice before world cup. these are new guys.. not someone who have been playing for 3-4 years. "

Adarsh: "One reason why I feel India flounders in important matches of ICC tournaments is this over-experimentation. You have only 2 months to go to the World Cup and it is important that all the main players get enough time and coordination in the middle. Having second-string players playing at different positions in the name of experiment would not work. "

Going into the decider, the boys are pumped up and looking forward to the game. It looks good (the surface), I don't think much will change, Batting first gives us a good opportunity to set a good total.

WEATHER UPDATE: There is a bit of rain predicted later in the afternoon, but it isn't threatening as per reports coming in. Hope we get an uninterrupted game of cricket.

The guys are going to come hard again. We keep speaking about the attitude, and today we displayed that. We need to replicate that and need to be more consistent with the bat and ball

Windies skipper Shai Hope

On the West Indies side, the pressure is on to secure a series win against India, a feat they haven't achieved since 2006. Skipper Shai Hope's unbeaten 63 in the second ODI has boosted the team's confidence.

Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill are at the crease. Ishan Kishan is on strike. Jayden Seales will open the attack.

All in readiness then...two slips in place...

0.2 Jayden Seales to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, that's a gift and Ishan Kishan accepts it with glee. Half-volley wide of off, Ishan Kishan throws his hands on the drive and gets it racing past cover to his right
