Experiments on India’s mind; Windies look to avoid whitewash

India would be aiming to sweep the three-match T20 series against an inconsistent West Indies when the two teams lock horns against each other for the final game at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Tuesday. After the T20 series, India and West Indies will clash in a three-match ODI series which will be followed by a two-match Test series.

The series pocketed, India are likely to experiment with their line-up in pursuit of a whitewash when they take on an embattled West Indies in the third and final T20 International in Guyana on Tuesday. India concluded the two-match US leg of the series by taking an unassailable 2-0 lead after notching up a 22-run win in the second game on Sunday.

Their performance wasn’t the most fluent in the first match but Virat Kohli and his men were back to being a dominant force in the second match, though, the outcome was decided by the Duckworth-Lewis method after thunderstorm and rain did not allow the game to continue.

While the batting line-up may not change much, India may try a new combination in bowling. There is a strong possibility that leg-break bowler Rahul Chahar may make the cut in place of young paceman Navdeep Saini. For hosts, putting up a coherent performance remains a challenge. Considered a force in the shortest format, they have not lived up to their reputation.
