India aim redemption after Windies blow: Sanju Samson looks at next big hit

Indore: When West Indies clinched a record six-wicket victory in an eventful second T20I, it saw Team India crash down from the pinnacle of confidence to the depths of despair. The win put an end to Team India's 10 match unbeaten streak in international T20Is. Consequently, as Captain Shreyas Iyer and his squad step onto the field in Indore today for the third clash of the five-match series, their task extends beyond just a win - they must also rebuild the team's morale.

On the flip side, riding high on the back of their successful 250-run chase in the second T20I, the Windies will be aiming to secure today's match as well and take a 2-1 lead in the series. The match begins at 7 pm IST and will be broadcast live on Star Sports channels and Jio Hotstar.

Bowling Woes
The second T20I was a run-fest, with batters from both teams collectively scoring a massive 501 runs. Not a single Indian bowler managed to keep their economy rate below 10. Barring Roston Chase, who conceded just 24 runs from 4 overs, the situation was similar for the Windies bowling attack. Consequently, it remains to be seen what changes both teams will make to their bowling line-ups for today's match. If India decides to give an opportunity to pacer Prince Yadav, an all-rounder might have to make way. Matthew Ford might feature in the Windies' XI.

Batting Strength
Similar to the first two matches, both teams are expecting a run-friendly pitch today. With Sanju Samson also hitting form, the Indian batting line-up looks formidable. The only dilemma for the team has been who is to be benched if they decide to bring young talent Vaibhav Sooryavanshi into the playing XI. On the other side, Captain Shai Hope remains the backbone of the Windies' batting. With Hope, who guided his team to victory with an unbeaten century in the second T20I, joined by Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, and Rovman Powell, makes the Windies' batting explosive.
