India look to win series today

India will target to defeat West Indies in the third One Day International (ODI) match today and also ensure to win the series.

Today India set to meet West Indies in the third match of the five match ODI series with the young brigade defeating their opponents in the earlier two encounters quite easily.

Meanwhile India's stand in captain Suresh Raina Raina has demanded more respect for the West Indies team who have under performed in this series.

"Earlier you termed us a young (second-string) side. Now you are terming the opposition too weak. The fact is that we all have played too well. Someone or other has put his hand up and we have prevailed," Raina was quoted as saying.

"These guys are players. They are not machines. There would be one or two slip-ups," he said.

Raina was supported by Indian coach D Fletcher who also commented that the West Indies team is not a 'bad' side.

"I don't think it (the West Indies) is a bad side. It's an international side. It has players who have performed well in the past," Fletcher was quoted as saying.

Speaking on the performance of the young Indian team that is touring West Indies, Fletcher said,"It's a reflection on the pool of talent India currently have. It's a reflection on India's standard of cricket. IPL must have done some good. This pool of talent is a massive advantage to the Indians."

The key players for India today will be V. Kohli, Raina and Badrinath. 

 Match is set to start by 18.30 IST. Watch Live Action on Ten Cricket And DD.
