After registering a stunning victory in the third ODI, Windies will look to take a lead when they face India in the fourth one-day internationals at the Brabourne Stadium.

Meanwhile, not many expected it to be an evenly-contested series, however, Windies have shown intensity to fight. With the exception of Virat Kohli, India’s batting has been a bit patchy. Rohit Sharma scored 152* in the first game but has just 12 runs in the two innings since then. Ambati Rayudu’s 73 in the second game was a good effort, but that’s the only other score of 50-plus for the home side so far.

The likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant and MS Dhoni will have to do more to make sure it’s not a matter of India faltering when their captain falters. The good thing from the Indian point of view is that their spinners – Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja – have done well. But, then again, Ashley Nurse, Samuels and Devendra Bishoo have been impressive for the Windies too, so there’s not much to choose from there.

And while Jasprit Bumrah marked a good comeback to the XI with a four-for in the third ODI, Jason Holder, Kemar Roach, and Obed McCoy have impressed for the Windies too.

Match Prediction

The Caribbeans have fought back superbly after a humiliating loss in the opening fixture. They have chased down 321 in the second fixture to seal a draw while beat India convincingly at Pune. They will look to continue the momentum and create another upset at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

It’s all level, but the Windies look like they mean business. For India, who remain favourites despite the setback in the third game, the batsmen must provide Kohli the support he needs.

Thus the men in blues will have an edge to take a 2-1 lead at Mumbai.
