Indian team never ever looked so dominant at home. In the recent years they have won ODI series comprehensively against teams like Sri Lanka, Australia, England and now its the turn of West Indies. The first two matches are pocketed by India and they march towards Ahmedabad for the 3rd ODI.

Sardar Patel Stadium at Motera in Ahmedabad will host this match which would preferably favour the batsmen. India has not enjoyed a very good win loss ratio here. India played 13 and won 6 matches here. But the recent memories for India on this ground are pleasant. India eliminated Australia from the ICC World Cup 2011 earlier this year on this very ground.

In the absence of Sachin, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Harbhajan and Zaheer, Indian team showed glimpses of nervousness in the first two ODIs. India didn't easily cruise to a win in the 1st match. Ravi Rampaul scored a staggering 86 not out being number 10 batsman raising hopes for a Windies win. But the young Kohli and Rohit Sharma turned the tables on and registered a win for India.

The Indian team members whose form is a concern for everyone would be skipper Sehwag, opener Gambhir and Suresh Raina. They should get into the form at the earliest before they find themselves facing the speedsters in Australia where things would be tougher. As far as the bowling is concerned, R Vinay Kumar, Umesh Yadav and R Ashwin have been impressive so far.

The pitch here leaves a very little margin of error for the bowlers. This ground reminds us of the November 2002 match when India chased 300 plus runs against West Indies in a 7 ODI series. If the visiting team doesn't showcase an intense display throughout the match, then the home team looks firm favourites here.
