240/7 (35.0/35)
256/4 (32.3/35)
India beat West Indies by 6 wickets (D/L method)
End of this game which means end of the ODI series. India win yet another series and they would now be trying to eyeing the Test series. For West Indies, it is their last chance to win a trophy. It is a two-game Test series and the first one begins at 22nd August at 0930 local (1330 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
Indian skipper, Man of the Match and Man of the Series, Virat Kohli, says the last couple of games have presented a challenge. He though feels Iyer was brilliant in this game, he was the game-changer and Iyer never let pressure build on him. Further adds he wants his teammates to take responsibility and Iyer is really doing well, not only in this game, but in the last one too, he is a very talented youngster. Says the finger is fine for now, he does not think it is broken and he should be okay for the first Test. Admits they were a bit nervous when the rain came as West Indies played really well initially but they came back strong after the break and the bowlers did a very good job. Ends by saying they are confident heading into the Test series and are looking forward to it.
West Indies skipper, Jason Holder, says the rain break changed the course of the game, it was not easy to start again on this surface, the batters though still did a good job. He felt they were always in the game, credits the Indian players for the way they played but admits they too were not good enough with the ball. Further adds they have let themselves down a lot in the recent past and they need to learn more and understand a lot more and somehow cross the hurdles. States the team is a work in progress, they need to take a closer look at their eleven and hope they learn quickly. Ends by saying they need to turn things around in the red-ball format now.
Earlier in the day, the Windies after electing to bat, got off to an absolute flier. However, the rain break probably played against them as after that they struggled to score. They still would have been happy at the halfway mark as they had a score which was termed to be above par on this surface but India chased it down quite easily.
The Windies bowling was just not upto the mark! They were too short and a little wayward too. Chase and Allen did keep it tight for a while. The latter was the pick of the bowlers. But they had no answers once Iyer stepped on the gas. The pacers needed to step up but they could neither pick up wickets nor stem the flow of runs.
Chasing something more than a run-a-ball, the Indian openers came out all guns blazing. They started to score freely but Rohit was then run out. Dhawan and Kohli though continued the counter-attack and brought things back on track with a 66-run stand. However, Pant and Dhawan fell in quick succession and India at that time were in a spot of bother but Iyer with his captain, played himself in and once he got his eye in, hit the bowlers at will. He added a 120-run stand with Kohli with him scoring a half ton. He was the aggressor in that stand and scored more runs than Kohli in it. His knock also did not let any pressure build on Kohli. Iyer though will be disappointed he did not stay there till the end but Kohli ensured he was the one who hit the winning runs bringing up his ton in the process. All-in-all an excellent chase by the Indians.
255 a tough chase on this tacky wicket? Think twice! India have done this quite easily. Heroes for them - their skipper, run machine, chase master, call him what you want as you are going to fall short of superlatives, Virat Kohli. And the other, a youngster, one who is looking to make a name for himself, maybe someone who could fill that no. 4 spot, Shreyas Iyer. It is their partnership which has given India not only a victory in this game but also the series.

OUT! Iyer has thrown it away in the attempt to end it early! He though has done his job. End of a brilliant innings by the young man.

Fifty for Iyer! He gets there in style. What an innings this is. Talk about a knock full of character. Talk about grabbing the opportunity with both hands. He came in when India were in trouble and has rose to the occasion. Lovely. His 4th in ODIs and consecutive ones. He would love to stay there till the end though. He gets there by guiding this short ball outside off through backward point. He just used the pace of the bowler there. Also, the 100-run stand is up. This has been a partnership of high quality. They have taken India to the brink of victory. Not done yet.

DRINKS! So, India now need 144 off 18 overs to get across the line as the skipper Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer are out in the middle. The batting coming in next looks a bit thin and it is very important for India that these two have a strong partnership here.

Fabian Allen To Rishabh Pant OUT!
OUT! This is just unbelievable! Pant has once again thrown it away and not for the first time. India now in big trouble here. What was he trying to do here! The first ball he faces he comes down the track and looks to whip it over the leg side. The ball goes on with the angle and hence a leading edge which goes high up in the air. Paul takes another catch, this time by backtracking. Kohli has a disappointed look on his face and rightly so. A first-baller for Pant.

Fabian Allen To Shikhar Dhawan OUT!
OUT! In the air... Keemo Paul does not look very confident under it, he though takes it in the end. A good, good catch and the pressure built by West Indies in the last few overs has paid off. Dhawan looks to take on the left-arm spinner as he comes down the track. Tries to go over the mid off fielder but only manages to hit it high up in the air as he does not get to the pitch of the ball. Paul initially backtracks but then turns and runs backwards, takes a nice catch. A threatening stand comes to an end. West Indies back in the game. 164 needed in 136.

Kemar Roach To Shikhar Dhawan OUT!
OUT! He indeed is! A much-needed breakthrough for West Indies and it has come in the form of a run out. The last thing India wanted and it is the last way Rohit would have wanted to get out. There was a run to be honest. This is a shortish ball outside off, Dhawan guides it towards backward point. Rohit wants a run but seeing the diving stop of Allen, Dhawan sends him back. Rohit is almost halfway down the wicket. He now turns and tries to get back in. Allen picks the ball up and throws it to the bowler who collects it and dislodges the bails. The umpire takes it upstairs. Relays roll in and they show Rohit's dive does not save him. A big wicket for West Indies as Rohit was looking good in the few balls he faced. 230 more needed.
Is Rohit Sharma run out? West Indies are not that confident but he seems short.
