AI overview

India get the nod at 82% in this 3rd T20I, with West Indies at 18%. It is a strong lean, not a lock.

Lean: IndiaSurface: Flat / battingToss: bowl firstHome side: India

Holkar Stadium hosts India against West Indies in the 3rd T20I, number 6 in an 8-match West Indies tour of India, 2026. It is listed for Sunday 11 October 2026, with the start at 19:30 IST. India have home conditions on their side, which our model counts as a small edge.

Both sides lean on their batting depth, so the contest is likely to be decided by whoever handles the big overs better. Holkar Stadium is one of the smallest grounds in the country, where sixes come in bunches, so we expect a flat / batting surface with a first-innings score around 217–250 for India and 190–219 for West Indies.

Conditions look settled, so the surface and the toss should matter more than the weather. The toss lean is to bowl first. Most captains chase on a true surface because they can pace the innings to a target.
