India Crush West Indies to Win ODI Series 2-1
India completed a 2-1 series victory over West Indies with a comprehensive 200-run win in the third and final ODI in Trinidad on Tuesday.
Shubman Gill top-scored for India with 85, while Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson both made half-centuries. Shardul Thakur was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets, as West Indies were bowled out for just 151 in 35.3 overs.
The win was a satisfying one for India, who bounced back from a loss in the first ODI to win the next two matches and take the series.
Gill was in fine form at the top of the order, hitting 12 fours and a six in his 96-ball innings. Pandya and Samson also made valuable contributions, putting on 82 for the third wicket and 67 for the fourth wicket respectively.
Thakur was the most economical bowler for India, giving away just 37 runs in his 6.3 overs. He also picked up the wickets of Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran, and Romario Shepherd.
West Indies never got going in their chase, losing wickets at regular intervals. Only Jason Holder (38) and Kyle Mayers (32) offered any resistance.
The win was a good confidence-booster for India ahead of their upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. They will be hoping to continue their good form in the ODIs and T20Is against the Lankans.
