Coolidge (Antigua): Axar Patel's reargaurd heroics went in vain as India 'A' suffered a narrow five-run loss against West Indies 'A' in the fourth unofficial ODI of the five-match series here on Friday.

With the series already in pocket after winning the first three games, India 'A' tasted their first defeat in the tour despite Axar's (81 not out of 63 balls) valiant effort with the bat while chasing 299 runs.
