Changes were expected in both camps , however, the tourists have been dogged with injuries to key personnel, which sees veteran http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kieran-Omar-Akeem-Powell-c71441 taking his place in the middle-order.
Other changes include the return of pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KAJ-Roach-c1758 suffering from gastroenteritis, it slightly hindered Sammy’s desired composition.
The all-rounder was though happy to win the toss on a morning where the sun was out and a track, assistive to batting.
The hosts also made changes after clinching the series with an easy win by an innings margin at their favourite Kolkata stadium. Dhoni was not too disappointed after losing the toss and expected his bowlers to claim a series clean sweep.
As expected, changes were made to the Men In Blue contingent which saw http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RG-Sharma-c2309 will now have to wait a little longer to get a debut.
The other change was in the pace department, where http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 recently.
The pitch report offered the usual news of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Wankhede-c41354 surface which will tend to become a batting paradise as the game progresses. There was some grass covered and the moisture will aid the bowling side initially, however if the Windies are able to negotiate the first session, batting will relatively become a whole lot easier.
The local team has already secured the series and now will look to inflict a series whitewash- a feet they have not achieved for over 15 years.
The Caribbean outfit will look to end the three match series with some respite after falling short in the opening games.
