3rd ODI: West Indies vs India
The West Indies welcome India to the sun-drenched island of Antigua on Friday, and need to follow up a warm welcome with a red-hot display.
One down with three to play, Jason Holder and his team have the betting odds stacked against them, and few sports betting fans will be encouraged to back them after a 105-run drubbing in Trinidad.
But now is the moment to seize if they are to rescue the series, and we can always find an angle with Asian Handicap Betting to even up the chances; you can get 1.96 on the Windies to hit more sixes with a +1.00 advantage. India are at 1.90 with that handicap.
Sixes alone won’t win it; West Indies need to improve with both bat and ball. In the washout of the first match, Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane took the Windies attack to task with 87 and 62. Then Rahane followed it up with this third ODI century in the second game, while Virat Kohli got in on the act with a classy 87. Only the quickie Alzarri Joseph impressed with the ball, picking up two wickets.
The hosts’ batsmen fared little better, but young Shai Hope showed further potential with an impressive 81 from 88 deliveries. India fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar was outstanding, returning two wickets for just nine runs in his five overs.
Hope and Joseph can’t do it by themselves, so Holder needs to inspire his whole team to bring off a shock.
