I missed out today's match complete due to an appointment feels like I am regretting about the missed moments of thrill at the end.Only watched Highlights and seems like we got a tail ender who can smash all over the ground which is really good for India's future journey.
Yippee India won yet another series. This game has given me goosebumps when Kohli got bold but Suprising Shardul Thakur's short but effective inning of 17 runs in just 6 balls made the piece of cake victory for India. 
The game was close and Rohit , Rahul and Kohli innings and in the end Jadeja composed batting helped India to
Win the series and the match . This game was really a final game where both teams had a chance till end to win it.

From a tough position when Kohli got out, India pulled back and now overcame a run out scare and India just need 1 more runs to win the match and the series and now the scores are level and even though the opening partnership was really great but India had to play carefully in the end to take the match closer, West Indies batted really well in the last ten overs to put up a challenging total.
Edit: India has won the match when the third umpire called a no ball when the scores were tied.

I wouldn't consider myself lucky yet 
India only needs 50 runs in 39 balls which is very much achievable with Kohli on the crease. If WI somehow manage to take a wicket or two, I might win the bet
Edit: 34 needed of 28 balls. You'll win your bet.
Edit 2: Kohli gone
30 needed of 23 balls
Kohli could not take India home but India is still in the game and i am no idea who Thakur as i have not seen him batting but they way in which he is batting it looks like he is going to take India home as India just need 7 runs from 12 balls and Jadeja is still in the crease and as expected the match was not easy for India to chase even though the openers got a good start.

Yeah I risked betting on WI when the odds was 3x+ 
Looks like I'm losing my bet. But I'm happy that India is winning.
Seems like you are lucky to have placed bet on WI. I'm unlucky that I have placed for India to win. Looks like I'm losing my bet. But I'm happy that India is winning.After Kedhar Jadhav wickets, I guess the match is now 50/50 although Virat Kohli is still there. A wicket down from any of Kohli and Jadeja could have changed the match result.

as long as Kohli is in the crease i think India can win the match and the series
Only true if he get his assistant in the field If Jadeja got out, other wickets will only come & go I guess.68 more runs need from 54 balls.
You never know whether the bet on West Indies will be a good one, 316 is huge total to chase
India lost their third wicket but as long as Kohli is in the crease i think India can win the match and the series, Pant is in the crease now and he will be taking on the bowler and if he clicks then it will be good for India to cover the required run rate and as long as Kohli is there at one end India will chase this one as they have Kedar Jadhav and Ravindra Jadeja to bat.India have lost 5 wickets now with a a score of 232 on-board . Kohli is playing at 61 and India still require another 84 runs in 65 balls and if India lose another wicket quickly then WI have high chance of winning this match . Kohli is the key for India.

You never know whether the bet on West Indies will be a good one, 316 is huge total to chase and the openers gave India a good start and now KL Rahul lost his wicket and if West Indies can pick a few wickets then it can put pressure on Kohli as they still need 149 runs to win the match and the required run rate will keep on increasing and there is a slight chance for West Indies to win the match. Looks like I'm losing my bet. But I'm happy that India is winning.legendary

I definitely missed you Royse *nohomo*
The series is leveled by India winning the 2nd match. This one is a decider of the series.
Good for India that they did not slip the series. Hopefully they will win today. Unfortunately, I still did not get the time to go to espn website lol (imagine how useless my online status now ) :-p
I am hoping to back with my usuals in the next few days. Lately I caught up with tiresome traveling.
Why would you want India to lose, did you made the bet on West Indies Win ? Or you belong to the West Indies. First 10 overs of the Indian innings will decide who is gonna win this one. I hope to see the last ball thriller match.

Looks like I'm losing my bet. But I'm happy that India is winning.No clue about what is going on in crickting world as too busy with some real world projects. May I have now time again to get busy here. Is India leading in the series. Last time I checked was WI head by 1 - 0 if I am not wrong.
How is everyone by the way.

Now the match depends on Indian openers. 315 is a good target but, is still possible to reach if the openers and the middle order do there job properly. Past form of Rohit and Rahul should play a crucial role in today's match.
India started really well and they are chasing well as expected and they do not need to take much risk and still they are scoring at well over 6 runs per over and as long as the Rohit and Rahul is in the crease they could accelerate the innings and since there is dew it will be difficult for the West Indies bowlers and the fielders and picking wickets to put pressure on the Indian batsman is the only solution and it looks like India will run away with the game and the series easily.

Yes and RoHIT and Rahul are doing quite well, as far as the target is concerned the top order of Indian team can easily achieve it. I'm just hoping that RoHIT should be scoring another 200 he has missed his double century on the last game.

Is anybody willing to risk betting on WI? Another good stat update
This is going to be a close game for sure, and I secretly wish India to lose this match

WI made 315/5 in their 50 overs. Pollard was not out for 74 runs in the end. India would have to start well and among the top 3 batsman one has to make century in order to make India win the match and the series too. It is going to a good match.

Is Cuttack a batting paradise or bowling? West Indies is struggling to reach a decent score of 250. I am not sure now are Indian bowlers balling so good? It does not seems like that.
What has happened to this team?
As long as Kieron Pollard and Nicholas Pooran are in the crease they can look for a total of above 270 runs as they can clear the boundary with ease, the openers started really slow and the slow rate continued when they sent Chase at number 3 which was a miscalculation from the West Indies as they needed someone to take on the attack and Shimron Hetmyer was the right player but for some reason they sent in Chase and the slow rate continued until he got out and India might win the match easily with the way the match is going. What has happened to this team?
You thought and they got the wicket of Nicholas Pooran breaking the partnership. Now, it depends on Pollard to take the score above 320 which is a competitive score.
Kieron Pollard really played well and with that West Indies made a competitive match winning score. if only WI can take early wickets, this match will be out of Indian hands. Still the odds are good for WI, if anyone wants to take the risk.
