Teams:

"Someone like MS Dhoni can hit the ball out of the ground at any time so it was comforting knowing that we had him at the crease." - Indian coach Gary Kirsten
We are very disappointed about the way we lost the third ODI. At the same time, we have to pick ourselves up and get ourselves ready for the final game on Sunday." - Chris Gayle.


Ground Reality: The Beausejour cricket ground has been ironically named - at least in the context of this series. "Beau Sejour" means a fine day out in french, but with the weather being what it is, a fine day is the last thing we can expect today. The forecast is for showers again, which will probably lead to a truncated game. Look for the team winning the toss to bowl first, since that would give them a slight advantage when Messrs. Duckworth and Lewis come into play. If the weather does hold up, the pitch is expected to play true.

Today is the final match of the series if Westindies win the match then they come back in the series.

Here is the final match of the series don't miss and stay connected with for a live scores,pictures and videos.

Team news

Ravindra Jadeja had an impressive ODI debut, making an unbeaten 60 against Sri Lanka but has failed in this series, getting dismissed in an identical manner on both occasions. He was out first ball in the first game, playing away from his body and edging to the keeper, and managed just 7 in the second with his team in trouble. He could be left out of the next game for allrounder Abhishek Nayar to make his international debut.

India (probable): 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Dinesh Karthik, 3 Rohit Sharma, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 6 Yusuf Pathan, 7 Ravindra Jadeja/ Abhishek Nayar, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Ishant Sharma, 10 RP Singh, 11 Ashish Nehra.

West Indies retained their squad for the final two one-dayers and Gayle said the allrounder Darren Sammy will return to the line-up. He rubbished rumours of an off-field rift with Sammy and said he had great confidence in him.

West Indies (probable): 1 Chris Gayle (capt), 2 Runako Morton, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 5 Dwayne Bravo, 6 Darren Bravo, 7 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 8 Jerome Taylor, 9 Darren Sammy, 10 Suleiman Benn, 11 Ravi Rampaul.

Pitch and conditions

Gayle expects the pitch to be full of runs as the venue has traditionally helped the batsmen.

Quotes

"It is a case of two good teams playing against each other, and we expect two very competitive matches."
Denesh Ramdin

"Yuvraj, on any given day, can destroy any bowling attack. When he is in that sort of mood (as he was in the first ODI) he is very difficult to bowl to. We have to try and contain him as much as possible but at the same time he's experienced and has a lot of power and he is definitely the main batter in this Indian team."
Chris Gayle

"We have good communication out there which is very good and we can assess the conditions as quickly as possible and make the necessary adjustments. I want him to play his game and I will support him at the other end."
Chris Gayle on Runako Morton

2nd ODI West Indies won by 8 wkts(series, 1-1 now!)


It's been a thoroughly professional show by the Windies to draw level in the series. Firstly it was Ravi Rampaul who celebrated his comeback by picking up 4 scalps to break the backbone of the Indian batting lineup and then it was a Gayle-Morton show later on with the bat. Gayle was at his attacking best and Morton slowly picked himself up from scratches to compile a superb innings to see Windies through. The Indians will have a lot to think about, especially about their inconsistency. Some days they can murder the bowling and go past 300 effortlessly and there are some days when they struggle to middle the ball even. It would be interesting to see how both the sides fare in the next game, a win would mean an unassailable lead, let's see who grabs it. Until then, it's me Shirshendu Roy alongwith Nishant Majithia, wishing you all the luck. Ciao! Ravi Rampaul, the Man of the Match: It's good to get wickets and yeah, it has been a good comeback. I have worked hard and it has come off well. I was focussed to bowl at the right areas. Gayle: Taylor and Rampaul set up the game for us. We utilised the wicket and the conditions very well, our catching was good too. Credit to Dhoni and RP for hanging in there. Runako is batting well, it's good to be getting scores at the top. Dhoni: We should have given more respect to the bowlers, we just didn't assess the surface properly and went on playing our strokes. Yuvi has been getting runs for us but then expecting one player to do it all the time is wrong. West Indies win by 8 wickets to draw level in the 4 match ODI series, 1-1 now!
