Ben Duckett leads England to T20 sweep over West Indies
England sealed a 3-0 T20 series win over West Indies after a 37-run victory in the final match. They posted 248 for three, their highest T20 score on home soil. Ben Duckett led the charge with 84 off 46 balls, sharing a 120-run stand with Jamie Smith, who struck 60 from 26. Jacob Bethell and Harry Brook added late firepower to close the innings.
West Indies replied with 211 for eight. Rovman Powell top-scored with an unbeaten 79 off 45 but lacked support. Johnson Charles and Shai Hope fell early, and England’s spinners Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson kept control throughout.
The loss marks a tough end to the tour for the West Indies, who were beaten in all six white-ball matches. The team also faced a major blow with Nicholas Pooran’s exit from international cricket at age 29. Head coach Daren Sammy has warned that more players may follow.
