Rain interrupts play for the second time this innings.

West Indies skipper Jason Holder won the toss and opted to bat against India in the third and final ODI of the three-match series at the Queen's Park Oval on August 14. 

After the first game was washed out, Virat Kohli and boys won the second contest by 59 runs (D/L method).

Speaking at the toss, Holder said, "We are going to bat first. Seems like a good wicket and opportunity to put some runs on the board. We need to focus on things we can control. We've done a lot of talk, it's time for execution. We need to learn and take responsibility. We got to play as a team. We've got two changes. Sheldon Cotrell is out and Keemo Paul replaces him. We've left out Oshane Thomas and brought in Fabien Allen." 

Meanwhile, India skipper Virat Kohli said, "Not a bad thing at all, the toss is not in your control mostly. It's an opportunity to come out here and execute our skill-sets. We spoke about in the last game, how after a drinks break, we lost our way. One change. (Yuzvendra) Chahal comes in for Kuldeep Yadav. 

 

West Indies wins the toss and elects to bat.

Opener Shikhar Dhawan will be desperate for a big knock after four consecutive failures as India eyes another series victory when it takes on the West Indies in the third and final One-Day International here on Wednesday.

With scores of one, 23 and three in the T20 series and just two in the second ODI, Dhawan’s comeback post injury has been far from ideal. Troubled by in-coming deliveries, twice Dhawan lost his wicket to pacer Sheldon Cottrell.

Since he is not part of the Test squad, the Delhi left-hander would like to finish the Caribbean assignment on a high.

India: Virat Kohli (Capt.), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, K.L. Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kedar Jadhav, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed and Navdeep Saini.
