Cricket Betting Tips for IND vs WI- 3rd ODI

Shubman Gill to score Over 45.5

Averaging around 100 in ODIs at home since 2025, the Indian captain is surely on a roll. Fresh off a fifty and a monumental unbeaten 200 in the last game, Gill will be the batter to watch out for.

Virat Kohli to score Over 45.5

Wherever Virat goes, he scores runs. Already with a hundred to his name in the series, Virat will be eager to finish the series on a high, and one can expect a big score in this match from him.

Rohit Sharma to score Over 39.5

Rohit is fresh off a ton from the last game. He was at his best in the last game and will look to contribute to the best of his efforts in this fixture as well.

John Campbell to score Over 26.5

Jon Campbell has been impeccable in the series so far, with fifty and a hundred to his name from two games. He is West Indies' highest scorer so far in the series and will look to continue his good work with the bat.

Whitewash in sights for Team India

Team India head into the third and final ODI against the West Indies with momentum firmly on their side, eyeing a series whitewash. The second ODI in Guwahati turned into a historic night, courtesy of skipper Shubman Gill’s masterclass. His blistering double hundred, his second in ODI cricket, powered India to their highest‑ever successful chase in the format.

Gill’s brilliance was well complemented by Rohit Sharma’s century, while Virat Kohli had already set the tone with a match‑winning ton in the opening game of the series. With the top three firing in unison, India’s batting has looked unstoppable, even without significant contributions from the bowling unit.

The West Indies, despite flashes of resistance, have struggled to contain India’s batting juggernaut. Their inability to break partnerships has left them chasing shadows, and with confidence soaring in the Indian camp, the hosts look primed to finish the job.

A win in the final ODI would not only seal a 3‑0 whitewash but also underline India’s dominance in white‑ball cricket, sending a strong message ahead of tougher assignments on the international calendar.

West Indies are tasked to avoid a series whitewash

The West Indies head into the third ODI against India with pride at stake, desperate to avoid a series whitewash. Having already lost the series, the visitors face an uphill battle against a dominant Indian side that has outclassed them in both batting and bowling departments.

There have been bright spots for the Caribbean outfit, most notably the batting form of John Campbell and Shai Hope, who have each registered centuries in the series. Their contributions have provided glimpses of resilience, but the lack of support from the rest of the batting lineup has left the team vulnerable.

The bigger concern, however, lies in the bowling unit. Across two matches, West Indies bowlers have managed to claim only four wickets, a statistic that underlines their struggles to penetrate India’s formidable top order. Without breakthroughs, the pressure has mounted, and India’s batters have capitalized with record‑breaking performances.

For the West Indies, the final ODI is not just about salvaging a win but about restoring confidence. A collective effort with the ball and greater consistency from the middle order will be essential if they are to prevent India from completing a clean sweep. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
