KANPUR – India rode on a sparkling century from Skikhar Dhawan to beat West Indies by five wickets yesterday in the third and final One Day international (ODI), clinching the three-match series 2-1.
The Indians ambled to victory with 23 balls to spare after restricting the West Indies to 263 for five at the Green Park Stadium.
Dhawan stole the limelight with an attacking 119 that came off 95 balls, his fifth ODI hundred, while Yuvraj Singh notched up a 74-ball 55 to seal the issue for the home side.
There was briefly some hope for West Indies when Ravi Rampaul dismissed two of India’s top three batsmen early.
