Don't mind chasing. Obviously I would've preferred to bat looking at the surface. Might get slower. It is what it is. Pooran has been batting very well. Would like to keep things simple to him, rather than trying a lot of things. Two changes, Yashasvi makes his debut, Kuldeep comes in for Bishnoi. Ishan misses out.

India skipper Hardik Pandya

We'll bat first. Looks a little slow wicket. Holder in the last game picked up a niggle to his knee. He misses out, Chase comes in. Guys are excited, we are on the doorstep of history. They have such quality players, they have to keep them on their toes. If you become predictable, they will destroy you.

West Indies skipper Rovman Powell

Pitch Report
"Little bit cloudy. It's the same pitch as the second T20I. 66 metres on one side, 67 on the other, and 77 down the ground. Pitch looks good. It's a bit drier than the second T20I. No green blades of grass. It's still very hard. Spin will play a little more leading role in wicket-taking." - Daren Ganga
