India will start as the favourites, once again when they take on the West Indies in the penultimate game of the tour. India, having won the Test and ODI series, will hope for an early wrap up in the T20I series too.
On Sunday, India ended their four-match losing streak against the Windies by registering a nervy five-wicket win at the historic Eden Gardens, Kolkata, thanks to efforts from Kuldeep Yadav, Dinesh Karthik and debutant Krunal Pandya.
