India won the final Match



India won the Final and fifth match of the five match 4-1by 34 runs. Even though Pollard


Hit a century (119) its of no use in achieving a victory for West Indies he was the last man out when Ajinkya Rahane took a smart catch off Suresh Raina’s bowling.Ravindra Jadeja was the pick of the Indian bowlers as he took the 3 wickets for 62.


India gave the target of 268 to visitors and it got off a worst start as Irfan Pathan and


Abhimayu Mithun blew away the top four for only 36 runs on the board.Denesh Ramdin


Was then removed by Jadeja at 78 for 5 only but Pollard and all rounder Andre Russell


Furious batting of 89 in 79 balls proved a good start until Russell was run out .


Darren Sammy was dismissed by Jadeja but Pollard kept the score card ticking with some good shots till he reached his century.He finally came down at the end of the Final match.


Manoj Tiwary's maiden ODI hundred saw India to a solid score of 267 for 6. On a slow track, West Indies let the game slip after a terrific start that saw Kemar Roach reduce India to 1 for 2, as Tiwary guided the hosts to a highly competitive total.


West Indies made the perfect start when Roach removed Rahane and Parthiv Patel for first-ball ducks in the first over of the match, but a 83-run partnership between Gautam Gambhir (31) and Tiwary put India back on track. Tiwary then set about taking the game away from the opposition as he ploughed through his second fifty in a 117-run partnership with Virat Kohli.


Although Tiwary was forced to shuffle one single later as he gave in to the cramps which had determined him in the final part of his innings, Kohli went to 80 from 85 balls before finally alternative out long-on. The final overs were not as beneficial as India would have liked - they scored just 53 runs in the last 10.









Virender Sehwag slammed 219, the highest one-day score ever, to help India seal the series against West Indies in Indore
