IND Vs WI Match Prediction: India has now won the second match of this series as well, and with that, the series too. After a comfortable win in the first ODI, the Men in Blue’s record-breaking win in the second game, which saw them chase down over 400 runs, was enough for them to seal the deal.
The Indian Cricket Team became the first to win back-to-back T20 World Cup titles earlier this year, and the first to win the tournament three times.
Then came the IPL, where the entire Indian team played. The Sri Lankans then hosted Afghanistan for one Test match and three T20Is, winning them all comfortably. Then came the disastrous two T20Is against Ireland, both of which the Men in Blue lost, resulting in their first-ever series loss to the Irish.
A tour to India was next, where the Indians were thrashed 4-0 in a T20I series, then lost 2-1 in an ODI series. Most recently, they defeated Sri Lanka 1-0 in a two-Test series, before whitewashing Afghanistan 3-0 in T20Is. Simultaneously with this West Indies story, a second Indian squad is currently in Japan for the 2026 Asian Games.
As for the West Indies cricket team, they have had a mixed year so far on the international stage. They topped their group in the 2026 T20 World Cup over England before nearly making it to the semis.
After much of their squad played in the IPL, the West Indies lost an ODI to Sri Lanka, but then won the T20I and Test series against the Lankans. A disappointing tour of New Zealand was next, where the hosts were beaten in a five-game ODI series by the Kiwis.
Most recently, the Windies drew a Test series against Pakistan as they now embark on a multi-format tour to India.

IND Vs WI 3rd ODI 2026 PCA New Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
From what we have seen on this stadium so far, the tracks in this ground, especially under the lights, seem to be a little slow, with something here for the spinners and wily pacers. This will be the first ODI played in this stadium. The batters might struggle here, especially in the second innings, if the dew doesn’t fall. However, with the game being under lights, the cracks in the pitch will appear at a lower frequency, allowing batters to combat spin and score some runs. With this being an evening match, the pitch might crack a little more. One of the newest international stadiums in India, it is quite a big one. The straight boundaries are usually over 70m in length, while the square ones are about 65m away from the batter.
