England Preview
England enter this match brimming with confidence after securing a series win in the first two ODIs. The Trent Bridge encounter was one-sided, while the Cardiff contest tested their composure under pressure. England’s batting boasts depth and class with Joe Root anchoring the middle order superbly. Despite early collapses in the previous game, Root’s steady 79, supported by contributions from lower-order players, proved crucial.
The bowling attack has variety—Adil Rashid’s leg-spin and Saqib Mahmood’s pace have kept West Indies on the back foot. Matthew Potts, who replaced Jamie Overton due to injury, has slotted in well and is expected to retain his place.
Jos Buttler, though struggling for runs, remains a game-changer. England are likely to stick with the same XI and will look to dominate with both bat and ball.
West Indies Preview
The West Indies showed fight in the second ODI, almost pulling off a win in Cardiff. Skipper Shai Hope led from the front with 78, and Brandon King’s 59 was equally vital. Keacy Carty, a rising star, is nearing another century, and the top order seems to be settling.
Their bowling, particularly Alzarri Joseph (6 wickets in the series), caused early troubles for the English top order. Jayden Seales also provided solid support with his ability to swing the new ball.
However, the middle order remains inconsistent, and fielding lapses have cost them dearly. For West Indies to register a win, they must maintain their intensity across 50 overs and avoid collapses during crucial phases of the match.

Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith, Joe Root, Jos Buttler (wk), Harry Brook (c), Will Jacks, Jacob Bethell, Matthew Potts, Saqib Mahmood, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood

Favourite Team in Today Match (Why?)
England are firm favourites for the third ODI due to their squad depth, recent form, and overall record at home. The batting order, despite occasional collapses, has shown resilience with Joe Root’s consistency. Their bowling attack has greater variety, with Rashid’s spin and Mahmood’s swing proving crucial. Home advantage also adds to their dominance at Kennington Oval, where they have beaten West Indies thrice in five encounters.
