After the match, West Indies bowling coach Ravi Rampaul felt despite the pitch being a featherbed, the Windies bowlers should have put in a better effort.

00:02It was a rough night for the West Indies in Guwahati, where India chased down 406 to clinch the ODI
00:08series with a game in hand.
00:09Despite the nature of the track, Wendy's bowling coach Rabirampol was hoping for a better effort with the ball.
00:16Definitely it was a good button performance by the India team on their home condition, on a very good button
00:23friendly pitch.
00:25But definitely our bowlers weren't consistent enough on a good pitch that was suited for button, and our execution wasn't
00:35on par today.
00:38The track saw 811 runs being scored in 93.3 overs. Speaking of which, Rabirampol said it offered no assistance
00:46to any of the bowlers.
00:48Flat pitches are everywhere now, but this is flat and more like a batting track because they allow nothing for
00:54the spinners, nothing for the fast bowlers.
00:57Obviously, who score more runs win the game, and it's tough for bowlers coming into these conditions and coming out
01:04with any set of wickets.
01:08While the Windies surrendered the series, there was one positive Rabirampol took from it.
01:12He saw it as a good test for the men in Maroon, who are aiming to qualify for the 2027
01:18World Cup.
01:18Really good from Campbell.
01:21No, definitely our batting has been doing a good job, and the experience the guys are going to get from
01:28this series will definitely help us when we go into the qualifiers.
01:33If we encounter pitches like this, we will have more experience and we will know how to execute different plans
01:41in surfaces like this.
01:42The two teams have one more ODI to play on Saturday, followed by five T20 internationals.
01:48They don't know how any teams export.
