West Indies vs India Top Team Batter
Shai Hope to be West Indies’ best batter
Shai Hope is one of most dependable batters in the game with solid technique and has upped his power-hitting in recent times. He returned to the T20I side in the previous match and made an immediate impact with 45 off 29. Hope has been in good form and you can back him to be the top batter for West Indies.
Yashasvi Jaiswal to be India’s best batter
Yashasvi Jaiswal fell cheaply on his T20I debut but obliterated the Windies attack in the last outing with 84 off 41. The left hander had a superb Indian T20 League campaign, where he made 625 runs at an average of 48 while striking at 164. Bet on Jaiswal to be the top batter for India.
West Indies vs India Top Team Bowlers
Alzarri Joseph to be West Indies’ best bowler
The West Indies bowling attack got carted around in the previous game, with Alzarri Joseph rested. He should be back for this game, offering a point of difference to the side. The fast bowler has 26 wickets in T20I cricket from 15 matches at 13.3 strike rate. He had picked two wickets each in the second and third game of the series.
Kuldeep Yadav to be India’s best bowler
If there's one bowler who has consistently delivered on this tour, it is Kuldeep Yadav. The left arm wrist spinner snared seven wickets in three ODIs and has bagged six scalps in three T20Is. In the last two outings, he has claimed 3 for 28 and 2 for 26. Kuldeep has 52 wickets from 31 T20Is at an economy of 6.70.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: India
After losing the first two T20Is, India brought their A game in the last couple of games. Their middle order was in good form and openers fired in the previous game as well. Led by Kuldeep Yadav, they have a decent bowling attack to restrict West Indies to below par scores. We predict India to win the third T20I.
- West Indies to win - 2.98
- India to win - 1.39
