Thrilling Victory

The third ODI between India and West Indies came down to the wire and was decided with merely one ball to spare in the match. India chased a moderate 186 runs to ensure that from here on, they cannot lose the ODI tournament. The match was delayed due to rain and was shortened to 41 overs. Henceforth, many rain interruptions disallowed the West Indies team to attain any momentum in posting a huge total. The match, due to rain, was shortened from 41 to ultimately 27 overs. Not a single expert understands the Duckworth Lewis method but all agree that this is the best solution available in cricket today and India certainly got the best of the system. When India was chasing the total, the team had merely lost 2 wickets to face their rain interruption. This factor worked in their favor and they had to chase a meager 64 runs in 51 balls. But the match came down to the last over, from which 11 was required. A huge six from Dhoni set the match for India and the team was able to seal the win on the second last ball of the last over. From here on, India will want to win the tournament but West Indies will try their utmost to draw the series in front of their home crowd.
