India is on the backfoot in the T20I series as they've lost the first two games and this is a must-win match for the men in blue. The top order has failed badly and that's the main reason for their poor performance as a team in the first two games.

The likes of Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill & Suryakumar Yadav must step-up with the bat in this game. India will be eager to bounce back strongly and keep the series alive.
West Indies, on the other hand, after 2 wins, will be eyeing a third win to seal the deal in the T20I series. They have been excellent as a team but there is still room for improvement.
Their top order has also struggled and they need to be consistent. Only Rovman Powell and Nicholas Pooran have performed consistently until now. The bowlers have been on point & they'll look to continue that in this match as well.
