VIJAYAWADA, India, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Marlon Samuels cracked a swashbuckling unbeaten 108 and fellow-Jamaican Jermaine Lawson grabbed four quick wickets as West Indies beat India by 135 runs to clinch their seven-match one-day series on Sunday.

After Samuels had scored his maiden international century, Lawson captured a career-best four for 57 as West Indies dismissed India for a paltry 180 in 36.5 overs after amassing 315 for six. West Indies won the series 4-3.

The visitors had been reduced to 16 for two after being asked to bat first by India's stand-in skipper Rahul Dravid but Ramnaresh Sarwan (83) and Wavell Hinds (58) rescued the side before Samuels launched a vicious onslaught in his 75-ball knock. He hammered 11 fours and five sixes.
