New Delhi: Disciplined bowling effort from Indian pacer helped the visitors restrict West Indies for a modest 205/9 in the series deciding fifth-ODI at Jamaica on Thursday.

Having won the toss, West Indies looked sharp in the initial overs of the game but overall it was India’s bowling performance that dominated the first innings at Sabina Park.

The twin hopes - Shai (51 off 98) and Kyle (46 off 50) were the top performers for the hosts, while Mohammed Shami topped the chart for India with impressive bowling figures of 4/48.

It was another low scoring game, and having lost the previous encounter by 11 runs while defending 188 runs, Virat Kohli’s men will look to achieve this target comfortably and complete series win.
