India will take on the West Indies in the third and final ODI of the series on October 3, with the hosts already securing the series after taking an unassailable 2-0 lead. Shubman Gill’s side will now look to complete a clean sweep and end the series on a winning note. India began the series with a comfortable victory in Thiruvananthapuram before producing another impressive performance in the second ODI in Guwahati.

The high-scoring contest saw India chase down a challenging target and register their highest successful run chase in ODI cricket. The final match will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. However, India have suffered an injury setback ahead of the series finale, with fast bowler Prasidh Krishna ruled out of the contest.
