Dominic Drakes tries to go over cover, but the ball goes off the bottom of the bat, and it lobs in the air towards Rohit Sharma at cover. Who dives forward to his right and takes a superb catch!

OUT! TAKEN! The 19th over generally is the most important over and Harshal Patel has just bowled a gem of an over so far. A loopy slower ball, full and outside off. This is dipping on the batter and even though Romario Shepherd is waiting for it, it is really difficult to get under it and generate the power to go big. Shepherd forces the big shot over extra cover but can only manage to lift it towards the cover region. Rohit Sharma over there takes a couple of steps back and pouches it comfortably. Is that the final nail in the Windies coffin?

This is excellent from Harshal Patel. He goes seam up this time, into the pitch and pushes it wider. Allen fetches and sort of half-pulls it towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

Slower ball, outside off. Fabian Allen swings at it but misses.

Slower ball, shorter on middle. Romario Shepherd pulls it towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

Right on the buzzer, Rohit Sharma decides to make use of the review left for an LBW decision. There's a huge gap between bat and pad and UltraEdge confirms the same. Ball Tracker shows that the impact is umpire's call and the ball is missing leg stump. The on-field decision of NOT OUT will stay. India lose the review but they had to go for it at this stage.

TWO LEG BYES! NOT OUT! A full toss ball, on the pads. Romario Shepherd misses his heave and gets hit on the pads and the ball rolls towards third man. An appeal for LBW, but the umpire says no!

Harshal Patel (3-0-16-2) to bowl the all-important penultimate over.

Slower ball, around middle. Romario Shepherd drills it to long on for a single.

India are a bit behind the eight ball but a bit of saw dust is needed for the bowler's landing area and the Match Referee will allow this time to the bowling side.

Shorter ball, outside off. Romario Shepherd pushes it towards cover and he wants a single there, but he is sent back halfway down the wicket. A slight mix-up, but safe in the end. Rohit Sharma collects the ball, and throws it to the keeper, Ishan Kishan runs forward but slips on his way to the stumps. Romario Shepherd was no where in the picture but he survives!

Wide! Too short, wide of off. Romario Shepherd looks to cut this away but misses. Wide given!

Ishan Kishan the man with the gloves on, runs ahead calls for it, and dives forward to take a sharp catch. Is this the turning point?

Well bowled! A yorker-length delivery, outside off. Romario Shepherd digs it out towards point for a single.

Avesh Khan (3-0-28-0) comes back in to finish his spell. Also, India need to be a bit quick here. They are an over behind and if they continue with this rate, they might be penalized in the final over by being allowed a fielder less in the deep. That could be a huge difference if this does go down to the wire.

Another dot ball! On a length, outside off, slower ball again. Nicholas Pooran stays in his crease and looks to guide this on the off side but misses once again.

Another googly, angling away from the left-hander. Pooran is well beaten.

Was there an edge there? Looks like it. This is dragged down by Bishnoi and it's the googly yet again, angling across off stump. Nicholas Pooran hangs back looking to cut it away but gets the faintest of bottom edges. Ishan Kishan is unable to pouch it and these catches are never easy, they just stick. Pooran survives.

Ravi Bishnoi (2-0-12-0) comes back into the attack.

On middle and leg, flicked away on the leg side. Just 2 runs and a wicket off it.

Romario Shepherd comes to the crease now.

OUT! Cleaned up! The off-cutter yorker has done the trick for Harshal Patel! Really skillful from Patel and deceives Roston Chase completely with that gem of a delivery.

Good fielding! On off, this is heaved towards wide long on. Shreyas Iyer sprints to his right from long on and slides in to cut off the boundary. Chase gets a couple. or runs.

Roston Chase comes to the crease now.

OUT! CAUGHT! Venkatesh Iyer did it with the bat earlier on and now he is doing it with the ball as well. Jason Holder though will be a tad disappointed with that shot. This is pitched up around off, a bit in the slot. Holder clears the front leg and just doesn't swing through the line freely. In the end, he holes out to long on where Shreyas Iyer takes a simple catch. West Indies in a spot of bother at the moment.

A length ball, nipping back in a bit from wide of off stump. Jason Holder looks to drag it onto the leg side but doesn't make a connection.

DRINKS! It was a sensational start to the chase with Deepak Chahar spitting fire with the ball and then Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell taking on the Indian bowlers. All that has settled down now and West Indies are a bit on the back foot. A lot rests on the shoulders of Pooran yet again and Jason Holder will be looking to give him the support he needs.

But before that, the West Indies players take the knee as the Indian players have their hands on their badge to show their support for the BLM movement. All set now. Let's go...

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of India, says that they batted first last time as well and did well so they are ready for the challenge tonight but they have a different batting lineup tonight. Informs that they have made four changes with Kohli, Pant, Bhuvi and Chahal making way for Ruturaj, Shreyas, Shardul, and Avesh Khan to make his debut. Rohit also mentions that tonight Ishan and Ruturaj will open the innings. He mentions that it is a good test of their physical and mental strength and hopes that they come out on top yet again.

Kieron Pollard, the skipper of West Indies, says that they are going to bowl first, and nothing much has changed for them since the last few games. Informs us that they have four changes, Walsh, Fabian, Drakes, and Hope come in. Mentions that they have done well with the bat in the previous games but they have to improve their fielding and bowl better at the death. States that it is an opportunity for all the young guys to get try these conditions and for them to see what they offer.

India (Playing XI) - Ruturaj Gaikwad (In for Rishabh Pant), Ishan Kishan (WK), Rohit Sharma (C), Shreyas Iyer (In for Virat Kohli), Suryakumar Yadav, Venkatesh Iyer, Shardul Thakur (In for Yuzvendra Chahal), Deepak Chahar, Harshal Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan (On debut) (In for Bhuvneshwar Kumar).

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Kieron Pollard (C), Roston Chase, Fabian Allen (In for Sheldon Cottrell), Romario Shepherd, Hayden Walsh (In for Akeal Hosein), Dominic Drakes (In for Odean Smith), Shai Hope (WK) (In for Brandon King), Jason Holder.

TOSS - West Indies have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Deepdas Gupta is alongside Ajit Agarkar for the Pitch Report. DDS says that the pitch is the same as the one used in the second T20I. Ajit adds that even though it's the second game on the same track, it should be a high-scoring game yet again. There are a few patches but the bowlers will find it difficult. DDS mentions that dew might be a factor but the conditions have been overcast all day long and that might mean that there's less dew tonight.

Some exciting news! Avesh Khan has just received his T20I cap and he is all set to make his senior international debut for India..

West Indies came really close to getting their first win of the tour last time around but the blitz from Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell just wasn't enough. Their openers have failed throughout the tour and with almost nothing to play for, the visitors might also tweak their playing XI. One man who certainly deserves to keep his place in the playing XI is Roston Chase. He was given a chance in the first T20I as Holder was injured but Chase has turned out to be their best bowler. So, will the hosts make a double clean sweep? Or will the T20I Kings end the tour on a high? We'll find out soon. Toss and team news in a bit.

India have already taken an unassailable lead in the 3-match series and with Virat Kohli and the vice-captain Rishabh Pant being released from the bio bubble, a lot of changes are expected tonight to the playing XI. Avesh Khan, who has been sitting on the sidelines might get his international debut. Shreyas Iyer might also come in for one of the two players released from the bio bubble and get a game at his new franchise's home ground. This match will help the hosts to utilize the bench strength as well.

Hello and a warm welcome to the 3rd T20I between India and West Indies. This is the final match of the T20I series and also of the tour. The hosts will be looking to repeat the clean sweep that they achieved during the ODI series here as well. The visitors will be looking to round off a disappointing tour with a consolation victory.

... MATCH DAY ...
