India vs Windies, 2018: 5th ODI – Statistical Preview

Windies ensured India didn’t run away with the ODI series like in the two-match Test series which lasted only six match days. The series line reads 2-1 in the hosts’ favour ahead of the final ODI in Trivandrum which meant that Windies doesn’t have a chance to win a series against the No.2 ranked side. However, the visitors have an opportunity to stop the Men in Blue’s series winning-spree over them that began way back in 2007. India thrashed the confidence of the Windies in the previous encounter by outclassing them in all departments.
