West Indies beat India by 7 wickets in fifth ODI

Darren Bravo hit a career-best 86 as West Indies comfortably defeated India by seven wickets in the fifth and final ODI.

Chasing a target of 252, Bravo's clean hitting helped West Indies reach the target in 48.4 overs to reduce the series score to 3-2.
The Batting Powerplay proved to be the turning point for W.indies as Indian bowlers gave away 57 runs between overs 43 and 47.

Bravo took his time to settle down but with wickets in hand, he waited for the batting Powerplay to explode. The other turning point was India losing seven wickets for 62 runs despite Virat Kohli's solid 94.

Leaden-footed Darren Bravo sprang to life with two successive sixes off Ashwin as he scored 15 runs in the 43rd over.

Rohit Sharma played 57 runs laid the foundation with a 110-run partnership for the fourth wicket.
