India makes it 5-0

Cuttack: In an exhibition of kinetic energy and calm nerves, India defeated England by six wickets in the fifth ODI of the seven-match series at the Barabati Stadium here on Wednesday night.

Chasing England’s 270, India found impetus in Virender Sehwag’s blistering 91 and the finishing touches through captain M.S. Dhoni’s assured 51 and Suresh Raina’s unbeaten 54 to finish at 273 for four in 43.4 overs. India made it 5-0.
