Indore's batting paradise promises another India-West Indies T20I run-fest
India and West Indies are getting ready to play another T20 cricket match in Indore.
The stadium's flat pitch and short boundaries often make it easier to hit the ball for runs.
In the last match, the teams scored 501 runs between them.
West Indies chased India's total of 250 and won.
India will want its bowlers to take more wickets and give away fewer runs.
Dropped catches can also give batters extra chances, as happened in the last game.
Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson have scored well for India.
Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford have also been hitting lots of runs for West Indies.
That makes another high-scoring match seem possible.
India and West Indies meet in the third T20I at Indore's Holkar Stadium on Sunday, with the match starting at 7:00 PM IST.
The flat pitch and short boundaries are expected to favor batters after 501 runs were scored in the second T20I.
West Indies chased India's 250-run target in Ranchi, recording their highest-ever run chase.
India will seek sharper bowling and fielding after expensive spells and Mayank Yadav's dropped catch helped West Indies build a match-winning partnership.
Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson have impressed with the bat, while Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford have been in strong form for West Indies.
