The final match of the three-match ODI series between India and West Indies will be played at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain on Wednesday, July 27. With India having already sealed the series 2-0, the side will now look to give young players like Arshdeep Singh a chance to shine. But the Men in Blue would now like to complete a clean sweep of the ODI series under the captaincy of Shikhar Dhawan.

But a major factor is that rain can play a spoilsport, with weather.com reporting that there are possibilities for showers in the Trinidadian city on the day of the match.  

Weather.com mentions that the possibility of rain in Port of Spain can disrupt the flow of the match. The match will start at 7 pm IST, which will be 9.30 am in the West Indies' time. There is a possibility of thunderstorms and heavy rains from around 12 to 3 in the afternoon, which can force the officials to reduce the duration of the match. Precipitation percentage showed 73 percent rain. This will also affect the toss decisions of the captains during the toss.  

 

Recap of the series
India have won the first two of the three-match ODI series. The final match might see Dhawan and head coach Rahul Dravid tinker with the playing XI and give Arshdeep Singh a chance to debut. In the batting lineup, Rituraj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan might be considered. It will be interesting to see whether the management of India make these changes after winning the series.
