India after losing the first two T20I games are on the verge of losing a five-match T20I series against West Indies, thus they have a point to be proved in the remaining games to keep this series alive. Indian batters like Shubman Gill, and Sanju Samson have been disappointing in the first two games and meanwhile, the absence of Kuldeep Yadav has also impacted the winning chances of the Indian team.
West Indies would look to continue their winning momentum in the remaining games of the series and especially Pooran's stunning show was the talk of the town in the previous match and other Caribbean batters are expected to join the party with him. The third T20I match will be played at the same venue as the previous game thus a great thriller is expected on the cards.
