India vs West Indies – 3rd ODI - Preview
The One-Day International series between India and West Indies has entered its deciding phase with the shadows of third ODI, which will be played at Ahmedabad on Monday, December 5, looming large. The Caribbean contingents are
in a must win situation, while a win would be sufficient enough for the Men in Blue to clinch the series, as they have a lead of two games to nil.
It would be an uphill task for the touring West Indies side to come to even terms with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, as they are a tough team to beat at home. However, with every passing game the visitors are inching closer to accomplishing this feat.
West Indian cricketers are putting in their utmost efforts but are still finishing second best. The skipper of the Caribbean team, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, is content with the performances of his team and believes that a win is just around
the corner.
At the conclusion of the second ODI Sammy said, “We are definitely looking to win games here. We have showed that we can compete with the best one-day teams in the world. That last-wicket stand gave us a lot of inspiration. It
shows the fight in this team. We just can't get over the line though. Sooner rather than later we can get that final push. We'll keep our head up and come strongly at the Indians again.”
The wicket at Ahmedabad suits India’s style of play and the team that wins the toss will be looking to bowl first. The Men in Blue last played at this ground in the quarter-finals of 2011 World Cup against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, during which
they successfully chased down a target of 260.
Team Form:
Indian team is in superb form they have a winning streak of 11 matches while their opponents have suffered three back to back defeats and one of them came against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747.
Key Players:
Indians are playing a second string batting line-up with their star batsmen, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RG-Sharma-c2309 and Virat Kohli have stepped up to take the
burden on their shoulders. Sharma has amassed the most numbers of runs in the series while Kohli is fresh of a century he made at Visakhapatnam.
Darren Bravo was in red-hot sizzling form during the Test series. However, he has not transformed that into the ODI’s as yet, but considering the talent at disposal, a big innings won’t be far off. Kemar Roach has bowled with great
heart but has not received the backing of his fielders, if the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 overcome their lack luster performance in the field, the pace of Roach can come in handy.
