This evening, West Indies will lock horns with England in the deciding One-Day International of the ongoing three-match series on home soil. The much-anticipated clash will be played at the iconic Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. 

Led by Shai Hope, West Indies had a fabulous start to the series, securing an emphatic eight-wicket win (via DLS method) over the visitors. However, the Englishmen made a remarkable comeback, swatting aside the Men in Maroon by five wickets in the high-scoring subsequent encounter in Antigua. 

Batting first, the hosts posted a mammoth 328-run total on the board, courtesy of Shai Hope's scintillating century and valuable knocks from Keacy Carty and Sherfane Rutherford. However, the visitors made a mockery of the target, with skipper Liam Livingstone's blistering hundred powering them to a much-needed win. 

So, as the caravan shifts to Barbados, the stage gets set for a thrilling decider at the Kensington Oval. However, the weather at the venue doesn't look promising, with rain likely to play spoilsport in the high-voltage affair. 

Kensington Oval Barbados Weather Update: Will Rain Interrupt WI vs ENG 3rd ODI?

Although inclement weather conditions in Antigua marred the series opener, the rain stayed away from the second ODI, which the English won to restore parity. However, tonight's forecast doesn't seem ideal for a cricket match, as rain will likely interrupt the proceedings at Kensington Oval in Barbados. 

According to AccuWeather, the historic venue might witness a thunderstorm in the morning, and the sky will remain cloudy for the rest of the day. The temperature will vary between 26 to 32 degrees Celsius, and if rain doesn't intervene, we might witness a fascinating game tonight.
