India will cross swords with West Indies for the third game of the five-match T20 International series at Warner Park, Basseterre, on 2 August at 9:30 PM IST. After enduring a thumping 68-run defeat in the first fixture, the hosts bounced back in the second T20I to level the series.
The third T20I is slated to take place at the same venue where the Caribbean brigade relished a 5-wicket win over India on Monday. The 22-yard track of Warner Park will provide a neutral surface which will be beneficial for both batters and bowlers.
The spinners could enjoy some good sessions in the middle overs which can play a big part in restricting the opposition. The outfield will be fast and chasing could be the preferred option for both captains.
In the previous encounter here, West Indies restricted the visitors to a 138-run total with the help of Obed McCoy’s magical 6-wicket spell. Later, opener Brandon King displayed good composure and scored 68 runs off 52 deliveries. Riding on the brilliant knock and Devon Thomas’ 19-ball 31, the Nicholas Pooran-led Men-in-Maroon chased down the target comfortably.
