India vs West Indies 4th ODI at Mumbai
Yuvraj knock seals Indian victory
A magnificant knock of 67 from Yuvraj Singh proved too much for the West Indies as India went onto win by 6 wickets and make the series 4-0 , India won the toss and put the tourists into bat ,the Windies tried out a differant batting line-up to see if it would change their luck , 2 overs into the innings they got their answer NO , Sarwan caught behind off Zaheer for 2 , Gayle and Chanderpaul put on a good partnership to frustrate the Indians but they had the last laugh when Chanderpaul who was on 99 was clean bowled by Zaheer ,it was a cruel blow he had played superbly hitting 15 fours ,once again it was individual scorers for the Windies as the rest failed , they were all out for 221 after 48 overs.
The Indians started strongly but seemed to take their foot off the gas and let the Windies bowlers get on top of them and at one stage looked they were going to fall short of the asking total , that was until Yuvraj went after the attack hitting 67 off 66 deliverys to ease them home with 4 overs to spare ,they will be looking for their 2nd whitewash over the tourists after beating them 3-0 in the test series , captain Sarwan again will look and wonder how his side who got into a good position ended up losing .
