Toss Prediction
The Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium has hosted only three one-day internationals so far out of which the most recently played two have been won by the side fielding first. However since the spinners are expected to get more assistance off the pitch later on in the evening, the team that wins the toss here may elect to bat first.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Premier pace bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been added to the ODI squad for the remaining three games and they are likely to replace Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami in the playing eleven for Saturday's third ODI. While Umesh has been retained in the squad, Shami has been left out by the selectors in order to manage his workload.
IND Key Players
Virat Kohli seems unstoppable at the moment and he has to be the key man for India when it comes to batting. The skipper smashed 140 and 157* in the first two games respectively and has become the fastest batsman to reach the 10,000-run mark in ODIs. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma form a lethal combo at the top and one of them is expected to play a big knock in this match. India' bowling will receive a massive boost with the return of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah and the duo will be backed by their team to shake the West Indian top order. Spin twins Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have troubled the tourists in both the matches and India will need these two to come to the fore once again.
IND Recent Form
India have now won twelve, lost three and tied two one-day internationals out of the seventeen they have played this year. They have not faced a single defeat in their last eight matches and have just one loss in their last seven ODIs at home. The hosts registered a thumping eight-wicket win in the opening game of the ongoing series but had to settle for a tie last time out.
India Predicted Playing 11
Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (c), Ambati Rayudu, Rishabh Pant, MS Dhoni (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal
West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
Obed McCoy had a decent day with the ball at Visakhapatnam. He is likely to be retained by the Windies for this upcoming game and he will form the third seam option apart from skipper Jason Holder and Kemar Roach. The visitors will be pleased with their performance in the last game and so we don't expect them to tinker with their line-up.
WI Key Players
The Windies will once again rely on Kieran Powell, Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer to deliver the goods for them with the bat. Shai Hope cracked an unbeaten ton in the second ODI and helped his side tie the game. Shimron Hetmyer has scores of 106 and 94 in the respective matches, and with Marlon Samuels struggling to score runs, his knock becomes even more vital. Powell had a good opening game and the team will be hoping for another healthy contribution from him. Kemar Roach, Jason Holder and Ashley Nurse seem to be the best bets for the visitors when it comes to bowling. Nurse was the pick of the bowlers last time with excellent figures of 2-46 in ten overs and the off-spinner is more likely to trouble the Indian batsmen at Pune.
WI Recent Form
West Indies, after their previous encounter against India, now have six wins, five defeats and a tie in their last twelve one-day internationals. However, they have won just one of their last six matches which clearly shows how inconsistent they have been in the ODI format. The Windies have been impressive with the bat so far in this series but their bowling still remains an area of concern.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Kieran Powell, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Shai Hope (wk), Marlon Samuels, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder (c), Ashley Nurse, Kemar Roach, Devendra Bishoo, Obed McCoy
