West Indies will be looking for a consolation win today after losing all three ODIs and the previous two T20Is. Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell almost got them a win in the second T20I but India held to their nerves to clinch a thrilling win. Let's expect another great game today.

Rohit Sharma already had his plate full with planning for two white-ball World Cups. Now, Test cricket has been added to it. It is of some concern because the Indian team isn’t in the best of health in the longer format.

India vs West Indies 2022 3rd T20I Live Updates: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the third T20I between India and West Indies. Hosts India already hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and could use today's match to experiment with its playing XI.
Preview: Having defeated West Indies 3-0 in the ODI series, Team India will look to replicate the same when the two sides meet in the third and final T20I on Sunday.
India defeated West Indies in the second T20I on Friday on the back of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant's fifties.
However, Team India will be missing the services of Kohli and Pant as both have been given bio-bubble break by the BCCI.
While India will eye for a clean sweep, the hosts will also try different combinations in the absence of Kohli and Pant.
On the other hand, West Indies will look to end the tour of India on a high by winning the third and final T20I on Sunday. The visitors have not won a single game and will definitely look to seal the dead rubber to open the account in the white-ball leg.
Coming back to Team India, after the win in the second ODI, Pant said young batter Venkatesh Iyer is a mature cricketer, who reads the situation very well.
Pant (52) and Venkatesh Iyer (33) had played crucial knocks to help India post 186/5 in the 20 overs in the second T2oI.
"When you come down the order, you know the situation. He (Iyer) is someone who reads the situation really well. We talked about keeping it simple and not trying too many things. The plan was simple, see the ball, hit the ball," said Pant in the post-match press conference.
"He (Iyer) is a mature cricketer. He used to play down the order for MP. Yes, in the IPL he is opening, but we can't be thinking too much about that. In the Indian team, we are just trying to find different positions for different people," he added.
