India's nine-wicket win in the fourth ODI put them in the position to whitewash England on Friday with another victory. Ajinkya Rahane earned the Man of the Match award for his performance, which included scoring 106 runs, and Shikhar Dhawan chipped in offensively with 97 runs.
India was even better on the bowling front, limiting England to 206 runs at a rate of 4.18. Mohammed SHami took three wickets and recorded 7.3 outs, Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets and bowled 10 outs, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar took two wickets and bowled eight outs.
England, meanwhile, struggled to produce on offense. Moeen Ali was the only player to score past the half-century mark, scoring 67 runs. Their bowlers saw only limited time, but gave up over two hundred runs to just two India batsmen.
While the ODI series is all but over, England has at least one reason to show up on Friday: pride.
The match takes place at Headingley Stadium in Leeds, England. Weather.com forecasts a partly cloudy day with temperatures reaching as high as 73 degrees Fahrenheit.
