Who will win Afghanistan vs West Indies (3rd ODI)?
Afghanistan’s losing streak in ODI cricket goes on, and they will try again to end it against the West Indies at Lucknow to restore some pride in the final game of their three-match ODI series. The match, at the Ekana International Cricket Stadium, takes place on November 11 and will get underway at 14:00 local time.
Afghanistan have been bowled out for 194 and 200 in the two matches so far, with half-centuries for Rahmat Shah and Ikram Alikhil in the first match and Najibullah Zadran last time out ultimately not enough to prevent two poor defeats.
West Indies, on the other hand, have Shai Hope fit again and in excellent batting form, while you can not keep Roston Chase too far from the action – after his all-round heroics in the first game, he claimed another three wickets last time out. Even if they rotate players with the series won, West Indies go into this final game as favourites to wrap up a series whitewash.

Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11
AFG Team News
Javed Ahmadi fell short again last time out and former captain Gulbadin Naib must be in contention to open the batting in his place – he slotted in at the top of the order at the World Cup too.
AFG Key Players
Rashid Khan: For the second game running, the Afghanistan captain bowled six overs worth of dot balls again. He took one wicket, but he is yet to hit top form in this series and will be keen to sign off on a high.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman: Three wickets in this series have taken the teenage off-spinner to 61 in just 38 one day internationals. He now has 80 international wickets and is still just 80.
Rahmat Shah: Hit 33 in the last match to follow up his 61 in the opening ODI and 47 in the warm-up match. He has passed 50 on 20 occasions in ODI cricket, scoring four centuries.
AFG Team Form
Afghanistan have lost all 11 ODIs they have played since the start of the World Cup, and their last three defeats have all come against the West Indies. In this series, they were bowled out for 194 in the first game and 200 in the second, despite Rahmat Shah and Ikram Alikhil hitting half-centuries in the first match and Najibullah Zadran doing likewise last time out.

Hazratullah Zazai, Gulbadin Naib, Rahmat Shah, Ikram Alikhil (wk), Asghar Afghan, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Rashid Khan (c), Yamin Ahmadzai, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mujeeb Ur Rahman
West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
West Indies have been unchanged for both matches so far, but could be tempted to hand Brandon King his ODI debut and look to bring in Keemo Paul, Sunil Ambris and/or Khary Pierre now they have the series wrapped up.

Roston Chase: After starring with bat and ball in the first match – taking 2-31 and then smashing 94 – the all-rounder took three more wickets last time out to continue a fine series.
Nicholas Pooran: The wicket-keeper-batsman smashed 67 from 50 balls last time out to remind everybody of his ability in ODI cricket. He averages 46.72 from 13 innings so far.
