India Eye 3-0 Sweep As West Indies Series Moves To New Chandigarh

India will look to complete a 3-0 clean sweep when they face West Indies in the third and final ODI on Saturday at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. The match starts at 2:00 PM IST.
India have dominated the series so far. They won the opener in Thiruvananthapuram by eight wickets before a record chase in Guwahati, where Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 223 powered India past a 406-run target. Gill leads the ODI side with KL Rahul as his deputy, while Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the 50-over setup.
West Indies, led by Shai Hope, cannot qualify automatically for the next World Cup regardless of results and must go through the qualifiers next year. After the ODIs, the tour moves into a five-match T20I series from October 6 to 17, played in Lucknow, Ranchi, Indore, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
Shreyas Iyer will captain India in the T20Is, with Tilak Varma as vice-captain. The squad includes 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi alongside Jasprit Bumrah, who joins after the Asian Games.
