The third and final ODI between England and the West Indies is set to take place on June 3 at the Kennington Oval, London. Though the series has already been won by the hosts, the Harry Brook-led side will be looking to seal the series 3-0 and move to the T20Is with huge confidence.
Both ODIs between the two sides have been high scoring fixtures with the first one being a one-sided encounter, where the West Indies team could not get close to the 401-run target set by the hosts and the second ODI was a high scoring thriller, where England went on to claim the series with the help of Joe Root who scored a match-winning century.
The Caribbean side had some great individual performances, like the one by Keacy Carty, but it was not enough to bring down the might of The Three Lions. As a result, the Shai Hope-led side will move on from the ODIs with a series loss. But, they would want to make the game a memorable one, and then focus on whatever lies ahead for them.
Hope & Co. would want all their players to perform consistently and get the desired result in the end. The West Indies are currently ninth in the ODI rankings, and a clean sweep could further ruin their chances of getting a direct qualification in the ODI World Cup 2027, which will make this game crucial from the said standpoint.
Pitch Report
The Kennington Oval is another two-paced track that offers some swing and seam movement for the pacers in the powerplay. However, as the ball gets older, the batter might capitalise on the even pace and bounce. Though there have been a mix of high and low totals on this wicket, the teams might prefer to bowl first and chase down totals to see how the surface reacts.

Probable Best performers
Probable best batter: Joe Root
Joe RootΒ has proven once again why he is regarded as one of the biggest legends in the game right now. Surpassing Eoin Morgan’s tally, Root is now also the highest run-getter for England in the format, and he will be hoping to repeat the same performance to end the series on a confident mark.
The surface in Cardiff was a nightmare for the bowlers, butΒ Adil Rashid, with all his experience, still showed his variations and wicket-taking ability on a pitch which was not giving him a lot of assistance. The 37-year-old leggie will be getting decent turn and bounce at Kennington Oval, which will make it even tougher for the batters to pick him.
