Pitch Report: India vs West Indies : 3rd T20I Preview

Pitch Report: It's a belter of track for batting having said there is more assistance for the spinners as well. The outfield is lightning quick and hard to stop runs. The bowlers will get whacked if they pitch it up and they must be extremely disciplined in their line and lengths, especially at the death.

Team News : 3rd T20I

India:

India has already clinched the T20I series on Friday and now it's just a formality for them today. Meanwhile, they have already whitewashed the visitors in the ODI series and now looking to do it again in T20Is here in Kolkata.

Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli won't be available for selection as they have been given a bio-bubble break by BCCI. However, that makes a way for Ruturaj and Sjhreyas in the playing xi for the last T20I.

West Indies:

West Indies, on the other hand, came so close in the 2nd T20I and couldn't get over the line. Fighting knocks from Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell wasn't sufficient for the visitors. They were short of runs in the powerplay which affected them a lot. Meanwhile, they are yet to win a game on this tour and are hopeful of winning the 3rd T20I.
