England have a final chance to avoid a whitewash but the omens don't look good. India have overpowered them in all areas, relishing home conditions again after a difficult few months overseas. After the problems they faced in England this series has shown that India's 50-over game is in pretty reasonable health and it has given Duncan Fletcher another chance to look at a number of young players.
High on confidence, a dominant India will push for a 5-0 clean sweep when they lock horns with a hapless England in the fifth and final one-dayer at the EdenGardens here on Tuesday.
A disciplined show in all the departments has been the highlight of India's 4-0 triumph so far and Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men would look to continue their dominant show here on Tuesday in what has been billed as the 'payback series'.
"We will try to go for 5-0. If we play good cricket, things will go our way but again the important thing is to do our best," Dhoni said on Sunday night after India thrashed England by six-wickets to go 4-0 up in the series.
Right from batting to bowling and fielding, India have shown near-perfection something that unmistakably favours towards a 5-0 whitewash and the setting would just be ideal for a Diwali eve celebration.
