THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India (AP) — West Indies won the toss and decided to bat in the fifth and final one-day international against India on Thursday.
India leads the five-match series 2-1 after winning the first and fourth matches. The second ODI in Visakhapatnam was tied.
West Indies made two changes to its starting side, with off-spinner Ashley Nurse ruled out of the remainder of the tour because of a shoulder injury. Leg spinner Devendra Bishoo comes into the side in his place.
India fielded an unchanged side after winning the previous match at Mumbai. The home side is attempting to win its eighth consecutive ODI series on home soil.
