West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No injuries were reported in the West Indian team at the time of writing. The same group of eleven is expected to take the field on Tuesday that played the second ODI a couple of days ago.
Key Players
Evin Lewis, Kieran Powell and Jason Mohammed batted well in the first game and West Indies will need at least two of these batsmen to play a big innings in this match. Shai Hope has had a quiet couple of games and a big knock from him could just be around the corner. West Indies will back their legspin-offspin pair of Devendra Bishoo and Ashley Nurse to do well with the ball. Both have been economical and Nurse has taken five wickets so far including a four-for in the first match.
Recent Form
West Indies have just one win in their past seven one-day internationals. They started this series off on a high with a brilliant run chase of 308 in the first game but faltered with the bat in the next one to squander a good opportunity for a rare series win.

E Lewis, CAK Walton, SD Hope (wk), KOA Powell, JL Carter, JN Mohammed, JO Holder (c), AR Nurse, D Bishoo, AS Joseph, ST Gabriel.
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Pakistan do not have any injury concerns in the side to worry about and they have the full squad to pick from for this game. No changes are expected in their lineup.
Key Players
Babar Azam starred with the bat for Pakistan in the second ODI, smashing his way to a career-best 125 not-out. He is currently averaging close to 57 in one-day cricket and he could play a big role again in this decider. Mohammad Hafeez is another batsmen who looks to be in good form at the moment. Hasan Ali claimed a five-wicket haul in the last game and he will be one of the major threats in this Pakistani bowling attack. Imad Wasim has not picked up a wicket yet but he has kept things tight in the middle.
Recent Form
Pakistan have played seven one-day internationals this year and have recorded wins in just two of them. Their batsmen have looked in good form in this series and the bowlers who had a rough outing in the first game came back strongly to hand their team a big win in the second game.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
-
Ahmed Shehzad, Kamran Akmal, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed (c/wk), Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali, Junaid Khan.

West Indies vs Pakistan Head to Head
Pakistan have now beaten West Indies 6 times in their last 8 one-day internationals. The two teams have played five matches against each other in this format at the Providence Stadium with the former winning two of them and the latter three. Pakistan's 74-run victory two days ago is their most recent win at this ground.
West Indies vs Pakistan 3rd ODI Betting Odds
Pakistan's come-from-behind win to level the series has again widened the gap between the two teams in terms of match odds. Bookmakers seem confident enough of a Pakistan victory in this third and the final game of the ODI series. The visitors are therefore favorites to win at best odds of 1.53 with 1xbet and 1.50 with bet365. Consistency has been an issue with West Indies cricket over the past few years which makes it a little risky to place a bet on them. The hosts are once again outsiders at 2.88 with Betfair and 2.62 with Bet365.
West Indies vs Pakistan 3rd ODI Prediction
West Indies will be gutted as they allowed Pakistan to level the series. They let go of a very good opportunity to secure a series win in the last game itself after having a 1-0 lead. They batted so well in the first game to chase down a 300+ total and then suffered a batting collapse in the second game while chasing a total which they were fancied to chase. The Windies have been unsure with their batting approach for a long time now. At times they get too defensive and at times they become reckless. Pakistan will be the more confident team ahead of this match and so we predict them to win and take the series 2-1.
Final Verdict: Back Pakistan to beat West Indies in the third ODI at 1.53 with 1xbet and 1.50 with bet365.
