KINGSTON, Jamaica: West Indies captain Darren Sammy won the toss and elected to field against India in the final One-day International on Thursday at Sabina Park here.

West Indies have made one change, with opener Adrian Barath making his return to the line-up, following a five-month injury lay-off, nursing a damaged hamstring.

The Indians have made two changes - Subramanian Badrinath and Praveen Kumar are not playing, so Shikhar Dhawan returns after missing the previous match, and Vinay Kumar plays his first match on the tour.

The visitors will be looking to sign-off their ODI series with a resounding victory, after they stumbled in the fourth ODI two days ago, losing by 103 runs at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua.

The world champions still hold an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the series, after victories in the first three matches, but they will want to finish strongly, bringing West Indies back down to earth, particularly with a three-Test series immediately following.

Teams:
West Indies: Darren Sammy (captain), Lendl Simmons, Adrian Barath, Darren Bravo, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Marlon Samuels, Kieron Pollard, Carlton Baugh Jr (wk), Andre Russell, Kemar Roach, Anthony Martin

India: Suresh Raina (captain), Parthiv Patel (wk), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Manoj Tiwary, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Vinay Kumar, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma

Umpires: Ian Gould (ENG), Joel Wilson (WI), TV umpire: Norman Malcolm (WI)
