So the news is that West Indies win the toss and bowl first. Pollard makes four changes to his side: Walsh Jr, Drakes, Fabian and Hope are in. He wants West Indies to field better and "put all pieces together". Rohit is excited to look forward to the challenge, and he too confirms four tweaks to the side. He says Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan will be opening the batting.

West Indies: 1 Shai Hope, 2 Kyle Mayers, 3 Nicholas Pooran (wk), 4 Rovman Powell, 5 Roston Chase, 6 Kieron Pollard (capt), 7 Jason Holder, 8 Fabian Allen, 9 Romario Shepherd, 10 Hayden Walsh, 11 Dominic Drakes

India: 1 Ishan Kishan (wk), 2 Ruturaj Gaikwad, 3 Rohit Sharma (capt), 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 Suryakumar Yadav, 6 Venkatesh Iyer, 7 Harshal Patel, 8 Deepak Chahar, 9 Shardul Thakur, 10 Ravi Bishnoi, 11 Avesh Khan

is this last match in t20 series

with WI

Fredy: "Batting up to 9 and 6 bowling options with a lone spinner. This is unlike any Ind side in recent times, in any format!"

Atul Ghai: "Good changes for Indian team but would have liked to have seen Siraj, Kuldip Yadav, Axar and Hooda also playing today in place of Chahar, Harshal, Bishnoi and Venky Iyer. " --- Axar is injured, Atul. I suspect they see Shardul and Deepak Chahar having a greater role to play in India's future T20 plans, hence both play. As for Venky Iyer, he's the first-choice allrounder ahead of Hooda, and the position he bats in needs plenty of games and different situations.
