A couple of slips in play, lets go...

Rohit Sharma, the Skipper of India, says that he wanted to bat first as he would like to put runs on the board because they have chased a couple of times already in the series. Adds that he enjoyed his time in the middle in the last match and it was important for him and a win was needed for the team. Mentions that the fielding has been brilliant throughout the series every individual is working hard on the field. Mentions that there is a lot of young blood in the squad that just wants to go out and put everything on the line. Says that the team expects good performances from the debutants and though they are pretty new to this level, they have skills and he doesn't want to put them under a lot of pressure. Informs that they have made a few changes with Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami being rested while Varun Chakravarthy has had a calf strain which is why he misses out and Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh coming in.

Jos Buttler, the captain of England says that they will bowl first. Adds that there might be some dew and they have already batted first twice, so, want to try chasing before the Champions Trophy. Mentions that they have got into some good positions but need individuals to make full use of the situation. Reckons that the surface looks decent and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Ends by informing that Tom Banton is coming in to replace Jamie Overton.

England (Playing XI) - Phil Salt (WK), Ben Duckett, Tom Banton (in for Jamie Overton), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (C), Liam Livingstone, Gus Atkinson, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood.

TOSS - Jos Buttler wins the coin flip and England will BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta and Graeme Swann are in the middle for the pitch analysis. Deep starts by saying that the centre pitch is being used for this game and it's a 66-meter boundary on either side with 74 meters straight down which is not that long. Swann joins in and says the pitch will play similarly to the 23' World Cup final where India struggled but still will be a good pitch. Says the pitch isn't too hard and there are a few cracks which always offer something for the bowlers. Concludes that the batters will have to settle in to make the most of it. Deep says the captain winning the toss would want to bowl first.

On the other hand, England’s struggles in ODIs continue. Despite flashes of brilliance, they have faltered at crucial moments, failing to capitalize when it matters most. A win here would not only be a huge morale booster but also provide much-needed confidence before heading to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Their batting unit has been promising in patches, but a lack of big innings and partnerships has cost them dearly. Meanwhile, their pacers have been off the mark, unable to make the kind of impact they are known for. England will be desperate to end the series on a high note, salvage some pride, and take positive momentum into the tournament ahead. With the toss and team updates just moments away, stay tuned for all the action from Ahmedabad.

For India, this venue brings back bittersweet memories - it was here that they suffered heartbreak in the 2023 World Cup final. But far from dwelling on the past, the Men in Blue have been phenomenal against England, sealing the series in commanding fashion. Now, they have their sights set on a perfect 3-0 sweep to carry winning momentum into the global tournament. Rohit Sharma's return to form in the previous game was a huge boost, and all eyes will now be on Virat Kohli as he looks to rediscover his magic touch. India’s spinners have been dictating terms all season, and with the Champions Trophy squad now confirmed, this match presents a golden opportunity to fine-tune strategies and give key players more game time.

Hello and a warm welcome to the final match of England’s tour of India! The stage is set for the third and final ODI at the colossal Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where India, having already clinched the series 2-0, will look to complete a dominant whitewash ahead of the much-anticipated Champions Trophy just days away and England will fight to salvage some pride.

... MATCH DAY ...

The stage is set at the magnificent Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for the series finale - a perfect dress rehearsal before the Champions Trophy kicks off next week. With India already pocketing the series 2-0 after dominant displays in Nagpur and Cuttack, they're hunting for a clean sweep to maintain their winning momentum. The series has been far from just a practice run, serving up plenty of fireworks! The biggest highlight has been Rohit Sharma finally breaking his dry spell with a scintillating century, silencing critics and sending Indian fans into a frenzy. While Team India's batting unit has been clicking in perfect harmony, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli, who's yet to unleash his magic in this series. With Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal fighting for the spot at the top with the skipper, the headache remains at the helm of the management as of whom will they go up with. Will Shubman be shuffled to number 3? If yes, what would be the next batting order and who goes out? But that’s for the team and selectors to decide. On the bowling front though, India would be looking forward to control the run flow. Mohammed Shami hasn’t looked at his best and understandably so as he has just returned from a serious injury. Though Harshit Rana had covered those lapses and has looked brilliant so far, proving himself as a potent pace bowling option. It’s been spin dominance throughout with Varun Chakravarthy and Ravindra Jadeja spelling their magic wizardry with the ball. England's batting unit has shown sparks of brilliance, with Phil Salt and Ben Duckett finding their groove while skipper Jos Buttler chips in with valuable contributions. Add the ever-reliable Joe Root to the mix, and their batting card looks formidable on paper. However, the story so far has been one of promising starts but unfulfilled potential - the classic case of ‘so near, yet so far’. The English batters have been getting their eye in, but they've struggled to convert those solid 60s and 70s into match-winning centuries. In the ODI format, where big scores often make the difference, these missed opportunities have come back to haunt them. The bowling department tells a similar tale of mixed fortunes. While spin wizard Adil Rashid has maintained his magical touch, the pace battery has been a double-edged sword. The express pace trio of Archer, Wood, and Atkinson has set the speed guns blazing but has also leaked runs at crucial junctures. More concerning is their inability to clean up the Indian batting lineup in both matches. With a bowling arsenal that most teams would envy, England will be desperate for their pacers to find the perfect balance between pace and precision in this final showdown. Can they finally convert potential into performance at the mighty Narendra Modi Stadium? The series has already delivered on its promise of being the perfect Champions Trophy prelude. Will India complete the whitewash, or will England stage a comeback?
