India thump West Indies in dead rubber

-

India bowled out West Indies for a record low score and then beat them by nine wickets in the fifth and final one-day internatio­nal yesterday to clinch the series 3-1. Chasing a modest 105 for victory in Thiruvanan­thapuram, the hosts romped home in 14.5 overs with opener Rohit Sharma, on 63 and captain Virat Kohli, on 33, remaining unconquere­d. West Indies 104 was their lowest ever one day total against India. The two sides now head to Kolkata for the first of three Twenty20 internatio­nals on November 4.
