India and West Indies will meet in the third ODI on Saturday, October 3, at 2 PM IST, with India already holding an unassailable 2-0 lead. The hosts produced a stunning chase in Guwahati, hunting down 406 with 39 balls to spare, but the focus now shifts to the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. The match will be the first-ever men’s ODI at Mullanpur, adding an element of uncertainty around the conditions. The red-soil surface is expected to offer good bounce, while dew later in the evening could make chasing easier. With the series already decided, India could also use the game to assess some of their backup options, while West Indies will be desperate to avoid a clean sweep.
India’s batting has been in sensational form, led by Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 223 off 133 balls in the second ODI. Gill reached his double century in just 117 deliveries, while Rohit Sharma struck 101 off 75 balls as the pair put together a 255-run opening partnership. West Indies still had plenty of positives despite posting 405/7, with Amir Jangoo, Shai Hope and John Campbell all scoring centuries, but their bowling attack failed to defend the huge total. Virat Kohli also made a brief contribution of 29 off 19 after coming in at 255/1, before being caught by Sherfane Rutherford. Rohit’s century also saw him cross 12,000 ODI runs, joining Sachin Tendulkar and Kohli among Indian batters to reach the milestone. With one game left, Kohli will have another opportunity to make a big impact in the series finale.
