Shikhar Dhawan won the toss in the 3rd ODI match against West Indies and has opted to bat first. Prasidh Krishna comes in place of Avesh Khan.

Another series has now ended in defeat for the hosts but they definitely have a lot of positives to build on in the two games. Their batting unit delivered in unison for starters, something they haven't done in a while.

The bowling too has looked good in patches against a batting lineup that still looks strong without some of the first-choice names. Nicholas Pooran would love nothing more than a win now to close out the series and snap their losing streak that has stretched to eight games now.

Speaking about the toss, Shikhar Dhawan won the toss in the 3rd ODI game of this series and has opted to bat first with the Indian team making just a change as Prasidh Krishna comes in place of Avesh Khan.
