India just three wickets away from bundling out Windies. After the impressive performance in the second and third ODI, it is back to square one for Windies. Another pathetic show with the bat by the Caribbean side.
OUT! Poor shot selection by Jason Holder. Having already lost wickets, Holder goes for a big shot. Ends up hitting it towards Kedar Jadhav at mid-off. J Holder c Kedar Jadhav b Khaleel Ahmed 25(33)
Jadeja is back. Holder times the ball well coupled with a great footwork and pierces it into the gap. Shikhar saves a boundary. This time Holder pierces it through the extra cover for a FOUR. Welcome runs for the Windies.
Kuldeep Yadav introduced and the crowd going berserk with the number of wickets that have fallen for the Windies. Massive pressure on the visitors, pressure on Holder to take Windies to a respectable score. Kuldeep bowls and pitches in and umpire turns down the appeal. Dhoni insists to take the review. This time the review goes against India. Maiden over for Yadav.
Keemo Paul is here to bat and Jadeja is here to bowl. quite an attacking bowling line up. Holder hits a FOUR and its welcome runs for the Windies. Dhoni guiding Jadeja saying, "Aage marega." No run to end the over.
Jasprit Bumrah and a direct hit would have sent Holder packing. But tough luck Ravindra Jadeja missed it. Allen tries to hit big and Jadhav at fine leg makes no mistake. Allen OUT on 4.
Khaleel Ahmed brought back! Windies desperately need a good partnership over here to avoid getting bundled out on a low score. Single to end the over for the Windies. But Alas! Even Powell OUT on 16.
Jadeja is here and is dishing out quite too many variations for the Windies. The batsmen trying to tighten their grip and looking to put a total on the board. But sir Jadeja strikes once again bowling straight down the line hitting the middle stump for an LBW. Danger man Hetmyer OUT for 9. Troubles brewing for the Windies. Jason Holder walks into bat and a single to end the over.
Khaleel Ahmed is here to bowl his fourth over. Hetmyer would want to spend some time on the crease before hitting big shots out of the park. No run to end the over. So 50 comes up for the visitors.
India and West Indies are all set to play the last game of the five-match ODI series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. So far, the hosts and the visitors have been really good by winning one game each. A win here would mean the team would have the final winner of the series and would walk away with the tournament. Needless to say that the match at Trivandrum is expected to go live down the wire as both India and West Indies would want to put their best foot forward for the decider.
However, the Trivandrum stadium which is all set to host its first ODI, could witness the play being obstructed due to rains but the fast drainage would ensure that the game would not go down the drain. The ground is comparatively smaller so the game could be a high-scoring one. Talking about the Indians, Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni are on the cusp of breaking records. Check out the preview for India vs West Indies, 2018 5th ODI.
Rohit Sharma who entertained the Mumbaikars with his swashbuckling 162 runs from 137 balls needs a couple of sixes to touch the 200 mark. If he manages to get a couple of maximums in this match, he will become the second Indian to get 200 sixes in ODIs. Whereas, MS Dhoni is just one run away from reaching the 10,000 run mark and will be the fifth Indian to do so. If Dhoni gets a stumping, he will surpass the record of Mark Boucher. Dhoni and Boucher have 424 dismissals in their kitty.
