The Venue - Jamshedpur
As the side batting second has won 71.4% of all matches at the venue, the toss should play a significant role.
India's last match here was in 2002-03 against West Indies. India lost a thriller off the last ball, with West Indies chasing down a target of 284 for victory. Ajit Agarkar top-scored for India in this match - after promotion to No 3 he scored 95 off 102 balls.
Scorecard
India's latest No 3 is MS Dhoni. Man of the Match for his 148 in the second match of the series, he is 18/1 to repeat this performance in the third match, and 7/1 to top-score for India. Saurav Ganguly has been becalmed with the bat at the moment, and desperately needs a decent score. He is 15/2 to top-score for India, and 16/1 to be named Man of the Match. But Virender Sehwag is sweeping all before him, and is 7/1 joint favourite with Sachin Tendulkar in the Man of the Match market. The two batsmen are inseparable at 3/1 to win the award for top Indian batsman.
The Pakistan batting hasn't really fired so far in the series. Abdul Razzaq is the leading run-scorer with 93 runs from two matches, which means that the rest of the top order are due a significant contribution. Shahid Afridi returned to his occasional opening slot in the last match and registered a duck, but you can never discount the big-hitting allrounder, especially given his bowling. Afridi looks good value at 10/1 in the Man of the Match market.
