Probable Top Performers from IND-W vs WI-W
Probable Best Batter: Harleen Deol
Right-hand batter Harleen Deol is in impressive form in this series, scoring 159 runs in two innings. In the first ODI, she hit two boundaries and one six and hammered 44 runs. In the previous game, she went on to smash a ton, hitting 16 boundaries. The West Indies bowlers will want to dismiss her quickly before she gets into the groove.
Probable Best Bowler: Renuka Thakur
Renuka Thakur will once again hold the key with the new ball after a remarkable outing in the last two ODIs. She will look to give India wickets upfront and put the West Indies in the backfoot. She is the best bowler of the series so far picking six wickets and the visitors will have to be worried about her abilities.
