Axar Patel’s heroic innings in the last game not just helped India win the match but also the series. Team India is leading the 3-match ODI series against West Indies 2-0 and will want to win the third game too. Meanwhile, the West Indian team may be happy with their performance in the last game but will want to win the 3rd ODI to save them from the whitewash.
Winning the toss and batting first, West Indies put up a target of 312 for team India to chase. Shai Hope playing his 100th ODI game scored a brilliant century innings of 115 runs from 135 balls. Captain Nicolas Pooran supported the opener well with a well-made 74 of 77. Things started looking difficult for Team India when they lost 3 wickets under 80. However, a couple of half-centuries from Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson kept the hopes alive. Axar Patel‘s 64 of 35 sealed the deal for India.

However, it will be essential to keep wickets in hand to capitalize in the death overs.
