PORT OF SPAIN – Captain Jason Holder has urged his players to “take ownership” for getting West Indies over the line, after the Caribbean side slumped to a six-wicket defeat to India in the third one-day international here Wednesday.

West Indies posted a competitive 240 for seven in a contest at Queen’s Park Oval reduced to 35 overs per side due to a three-hour rain break.

However, after reducing India to 92 for three in the 13th over, they failed to take advantage of the position and the visitors recovered to comfortably reach their revised target of 255 with 15 balls remaining.

“You can say that for the entire series, from the T20s straight here to the last ODI,” Holder said, ruing his side’s continued inability to capitalise on strong positions. (CMC)
