With an aim sweep the three-match series, Shikhar Dhawan-led India will hope to come out all guns blazing against Nicholas Pooran's West Indies in the third and final one-day international (ODI) at the Queen's Pak Oval in Port of Spain on Wednesday.
India on Sunday had created a world record by sealing their 12th consecutive series win in the ODI format against the West Indies - the most against a team. This might tempt head coach Rahul Dravid to try out the reserve players but he will have to maintain a fine balance between keeping the momentum and testing his bench strength.
West Indies, on the other hand, would hope to put an end to their losing streak in ODIs, which has now stretched to eight matches, including a 0-3 loss to Bangladesh in the preceding rubber.
