England Wins T20 Series 3-1 Over West Indies

The fifth and final T20 international between England and West Indies was abandoned due to heavy rain in St. Lucia, confirming England's series victory at 3-1. The match started with the West Indies reaching 44 runs without loss before rain halted play after just five overs. Jos Buttler, England's captain, chose to bowl first after winning the toss, a decision that has favored the winning side throughout the series. The West Indies had previously secured a consolation win in the fourth T20, chasing down 219 runs. This series marks a significant conclusion for England's white-ball team under caretaker coach Marcus Trescothick, with Brendon McCullum set to take over in January. Key positives for England include the performances of Phil Salt, Saqib Mahmood, and the return of Jofra Archer from injury.
