England Team News & Playing 11
Team News
England have no injury issues to deal with at the moment and the selectors are unlikely to tweak the current lineup for this upcoming fixture.
Key Players
Jonny Bairstow - the centurion of the first game - has high expectations pinned on him and he would like to consolidate his place in the side with another stellar performance with the bat. Alex Hales has a fifty from two ODIs at Bristol and he together with Joe Root are the other key players for England. Chris Woakes will be the team's go-to bowler for picking up early wickets while legspinner Adil Rashid who has a five-fer at this ground will be the biggest threat for the Windies in the middle overs.
Recent Form
England have had good results in one-day cricket this year. They have played 16 matches and have won 12 of those. Morgan's men have won four of their last five ODIs at home.
England Predicted Playing 11
-
Eoin Morgan (c), Jonny Bairstow, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (wk), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett, David Willey
West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Chris Gayle had sustained a hamstring injury ahead of the second ODI and was replaced by Kyle Hope. The Jamaican could be back for the third game if he fully recovers in time.
Key Players
Chris Gayle, if he plays, is going to hold the key for the West Indies. But if he doesn't, it will be up to Evin Lewis and Shai Hope to deliver the goods with the bat. Marlon Samuels hasn't been in the best of forms lately and the team will need him to step up. Kesrick Williams took two wickets in the first ODI and three prior to that in the lone T20I. The Windies are going to rely heavily on this fast bowler when it comes to bowling.
Recent Form
West Indies have four defeats in their last five completed one-day internationals. They have fared so poorly in recent times that they will now have to play a qualifying tournament to make it to the 2019 World Cup.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
-
Jason Holder (c), Evin Lewis, Kyle Hope/Chris Gayle, Shai Hope (wk), Marlon Samuels, Jason Mohammed, Rovman Powell, Ashley Nurse, Jerome Taylor, Miguel Cummins, Kesrick Williams

England vs West Indies Head to Head
England have a superior head-to-head record in one-day cricket against the West Indies in recent times. They have beaten the Windies in their last six completed ODI encounters as well as in their solitary face-off at Bristol.t
England vs West Indies 3rd ODI Betting Odds
England are the bookmakers' favorite to win the third one-day international at very short odds of 1.24 with 1xbet and 1.25 with Bet365. The hosts have better balance and greater depth in their side than the tourists. West Indies have been below-par in the 50-over format and so it isn't surprising to seem them at such a high price of 5 with Betfair and 4 with Bet365.
England vs West Indies 3rd ODI Prediction
West Indies took a bashing from England when they played a one-day game at Bristol back in 2009 and it could be a similar story once again when the two teams meet at the same venue after a gap of eight years. The hosts have just four wins in nine games at this ground and they will look to improve their record here come Sunday. Furthermore, West Indies are sweating over Gayle's injury and it will be a big blow to them in case he is declared unfit. England are a dangerous one-day side and we predict them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back England to beat West Indies in the third ODI at 1.24 with 1xbet and 1.25 with Bet365.
