England Secures ODI Series Sweep, Leads T20I Series vs West Indies

England dominated the West Indies in recent cricket matches, achieving a clean sweep in the one-day international (ODI) series and taking an early lead in the T20 series. In a rain-affected ODI at Taunton, England won by nine wickets, with captain Nat Sciver-Brunt scoring an unbeaten 57, while Sarah Glenn and Em Arlott led the bowling attack. Jos Buttler starred in the T20 series opener at Chester-le-Street, scoring a blistering 96 off 59 balls, supported by Liam Dawson who took four wickets for just 20 runs, helping England secure a 21-run victory. England's new white-ball captain Harry Brook praised the successful use of spin bowling, a strategy aimed at preparing for next year's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. The West Indies struggled without key players like Hayley Matthews and faced consistent pressure from England's bowlers, ultimately falling short in both formats. England's summer schedule continues with further T20 and ODI matches against India, maintaining their strong form after these decisive wins.
