After the captain's knock from Dhoni in the 3rd ODI against West Indies, India is top in form to win the series out of the asian subcontinent. Today on 05 July 2009, India is looking forward to sweep West Indies by 3-1 in their hometown. Earlier on 2nd July, India could manage to chase a small total easily. India was given a target of 186 in 27.0 overs. Due to heavy rainfall in between the match, the target was again reduced to159 runs from 22 overs. India got the D/L target for the loss of only 4 wickets. Dhoni made 46 from 34 deliveries while Gambhir played a knock of 44 from 38 balls. India got a nice opening of 84 runs in which Dinesh Kartik too played a vital role, he made brilliant 47 runs. Hope to see India win the series by 3-1.
