India Clinch the One-Day Series

Just minutes before, it was announced that the 4th and final ODI between India and West Indies has been called off due to heavy rain. The ground was soaked with heavy rain and unfortunately the series was decided by the weather. India won a good toss to elect to field in a pitch which had bounce and swing for the fast bowlers. Ishant Sharma was able to exploit the conditions to pick Gayle for a duck and start the match on a high note for the Indian team. The two batsmen spend ample time to give West Indies a steady start until the match was halted due to rain. Both the team’s fans would have rather seen some cricket, then to see the match called off due to rain. Unfortunately, the rule of allotting a spare day to a cricket match has been removed and the series has been clinched by India 2-1.
Final Scorecard: - West Indies 27 for 1 in 7.3 overs.
