WI vs IND, 3rd T20I Guyana Weather Update: How climatic conditions look like, pitch report

New Delhi: Team India suffered an ignominious defeat in the Twenty20 matches against West Indies, days after sweeping series victory in the Test & ODIs against the hosts. Men in Blue rode high on their ‘over average’ show in the Test & ODI series and hoped to breeze their way through the T20s also but they received a big jolt in the 5 match series of shortest form of game.

West Indies made impressive comeback against India and won 2 consecutive matches of T20, thereby taking lead of 2-0 against the visitors. Now, the Caribbeans are just one victory away from clinching the five-match T20 series.
The Men in Blue face an onerous task of putting up spectacular show if they want to either level up the series or snatch victory from ‘the jaws of defeat’.

Meanwhile, as Team India prepares for a tough fightback, there are concerns over climatic conditions at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, where the two teams are set to lock horns for the third T20 clash.

Hardik Pandya’s captaincy has also come under question over India’s poor show in the shorter format of game. A lot of cricket fans, echoed Kapil Dev’s recent diatribe, where the latter pulled up Indian cricketers of getting arrogant on account of high earnings.
