GROS ISLET, St.Lucia, (Reuters) – India won the  one-day series against West Indies 2-1 after yesterday’s fourth and  final match was abandoned due to heavy rain.

After West Indies were put into bat, skipper Chris Gayle  went from the second ball of the day caught behind off Ishant  Sharma for a duck.

Against some good Indian bowling, the home side reached 27  for one in the eighth over when play was stopped by a downpour.

Although the rainfall later ceased, there was too much water  in the outfield for play to resume and after over two hours of  waiting the game was abandoned.
