NORTH SOUND, Antigua and Barbuda: India captain Suresh Raina won the toss and elected to field against West Indies in the fourth one day International at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground here on Monday.

The Indians have made three changes, bringing left-handed batsman Manoj Tiwary, fast bowler Ishant Sharma, and off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in to replace Shikhar Dhawan, Munaf Patel, and Harbhajan Singh.

West Indies have made two changes, swapping Darren Bravo and Anthony Martin for Kirk Edwards and Devendra Bishoo respectively.

The visitors hold an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, following a three-wicket victory in the third match two days ago.

The world champions also won the first ODI by four wickets last Monday at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad, where they won the second ODI by seven wickets two days later.

India are looking to close in on a clean sweep in an ODI series for the first time on Caribbean soil, and can take comfort in the knowledge that West Indies have never won any of the five ODIs they have played at the VRCG.

Teams:
West Indies: Darren Sammy (captain), Lendl Simmons, Danza Hyatt, 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), Manoj Tiwary, Virat Kohli, Subramaniam Badrinath, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Praveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, Amit Mishra
