West Indies v England 4th ODI at Barbados
WI v ENG, 4th ODI, Barbados: England beat West Indies by 9 wickets (ENG 2:2)
Mar 29, 2009
Andrew Strauss gathered 79 from 61 balls to lead England to a nine-wicket victory under the Duckworth-Lewis Method over West Indies in the rain-affected fourth ODI at Kensington Oval on Sunday.
Fortune and the D/L Method again smiled on England, following a two-hour long delay for rain which left the tourists with a victory target of 135 from 20 overs. They got over the line with nine balls to spare, when Strauss guided Dwayne Bravo to third man for his ninth four.
The result means the series is now tied 2-2 and sets up a thrilling conclusion on Friday at the Beausejour Cricket Ground in St. Lucia, if the West Indies players back down from their threat to strike in protest to outstanding issues with the West Indies Cricket Board. The rain started during the interval between innings, after England sent West Indies in to bat and the home team made 239 for nine from 50 overs.
WI v ENG, 4th ODI, Barbados: England 136-1 (18.3 overs) beat West Indies 239-9 (50.0 overs) by 9 wickets (D/L)
