India vs West Indies 3rd ODI Highlights: IND beat WI by 119 runs to complete clean sweep

As per the weather forecast of Port of Spain rain was expected in the afternoon.

The game so far has been in India's control, despite the run-rate being shortly below five. Openers Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill provided the Men in Blue with a perfect start, adding 113 runs for the first wicket. Dhawan scored his 37th half-century in ODIs, while Gill smashed his second.

If we look at the Windies bowler, Hayden Walsh provided the hosts with the much-needed breakthrough. Meanwhile, Akeal Hosein, who has just been given three overs by Nicholas Pooran, has been the most economical. He has just conceded six runs in his three overs. 

“Not too bad, I guess we would have liked one or two more wickets. It's a good pitch, the guys will have to hang in here, be very consistent. I feel we can keep India down to a reasonable score. Hopefully, when we get back on, we will need to put them under more pressure and take more wickets” - Jason Holder on the game so far. 

Oops! Looks like weather has interrupted the proceedings as ground staff rush to cover the pitch. We can see some umbrellas are out too. 

Lets hope the rain passes away soon.
