India and West Indies fined for slow over-rates in third ODI


Shubman Gill and Shai Hope were the best batters in the three-ODI series • BCCI
While India were found to be four overs short of requirement once time allowances were taken into consideration, West Indies were deemed to be two short and the two teams were fined accordingly.
West Indies entered the New Chandigarh ODI down 2-0 after losing the opening ODI in Thiruvananthapuram by eight wickets and the second in Guwahati by eight wickets, with India chasing down a record score in the second game to take the series.
But Shai Hope, the captain, led the way in the third game with an unbeaten 162 in 143 balls as West Indies recorded their highest successful chase in ODIs - topping India's 351 - to win by five wickets.
On a personal front, both Shubman Gill, the India captain, and Hope had fantastic series with the bat. Gill, with scores of 110, 223* and 1 topped the run-chart with 334 runs, while Hope, with 12, 104 and 162*, was second in line with 278.
The two teams will now face-off in a five-match T20I series which gets underway on October 6 in Lucknow.
