Windies v India 3rd ODI – Statistical Highlights

India took an unassailable 2-0 lead over the home side in the 5-match ODI series with yet another huge win defending their mediocre total. After being put into bat, the Indian batsmen didn’t struggle to get going on a tricky Antigua track. However, a gritty 72 from Ajinkya Rahane helped India to stabilise their innings while a brilliant 79* from MS Dhoni and quick 40* from Kedar Jadhav helped India core 100 runs in the last 10 overs and finish at 251/4.

Windies kept losing wickets from the start but a fifty-run stand for the 6th wicket between Jason Mohammed and Rovman Powell tried to unsettle the Indian tactics but the Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav warped up the final 5 wickets for just 17 runs to seal a 93-run win for their side.
