England Sweeps West Indies in T20 and ODI Series

England secured a dominant 3-0 T20I series sweep over the West Indies with a 37-run victory in Southampton, posting a record home total of 248-3. Ben Duckett starred with 84 off 46 balls and shared a 120-run opening stand with Jamie Smith, who scored 60. Captain Harry Brook (35*) and Jacob Bethell (36*) added an unbroken 70-run partnership, while England’s bowlers, led by Luke Wood (3-31), restricted West Indies to 211-8 despite Rovman Powell’s unbeaten 79. England also swept the ODI series 3-0 earlier in the tour, marking a perfect start for new white-ball captain Harry Brook. The West Indies suffered further setbacks with the recent retirement of Nicholas Pooran from international cricket. England now turns its attention to a five-match Test series against India.
