India look to clinch series win against Windies today

Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 1 (IBNS): India will come out against Windies with no other intention but to clinch the series victory as the two teams will face each other in the fifth and last One Day International (ODI) match at Greenfield International Stadium here on Thursday.

So far, the series is inclined towards India with the hosts leading it by 2-1.

Though Windies came back strong in the series by tying and winning the second and third ODI matches respectively, the fourth sporting encounter was won by India comprehensively by 224 runs.

In a major boost for the men-in-blue, skipper Virat Kohli and vice-captain Rohit Sharma have scored big in the ongoing series.

While Kohli became the only Indian batsman to score three back-to-back hundreds, Rohit has hit two centuries in the series so far.

Windies' hope is Shai Hope, whose brilliant ton helped his team to tie the second ODI match.
