England Complete 3-0 Sweep with 7-Wicket Win

England wrapped up a comprehensive 7-wicket win over West Indies in the rain-affected ODI series finale, chasing down a revised target of 246 in just 29.4 overs. Openers Jamie Smith (64 off 28) and Ben Duckett (58 off 46) set the tone for the chase, while Jos Buttler (46* off 20) finished the job with a flourish.

The West Indies innings was marked by a top-order collapse, with Sherfane Rutherford (70 off 71) and Keacy Carty (29 off 35) leading a slow recovery. However, a late counter-attacking stand between Gudakesh Motie (63 off 54) and Alzarri Joseph (41 off 29) kept the visitors' hopes alive before they were eventually restricted to 251/9.

England's bowlers, led by Adil Rashid (3-40) and Saqib Mahmood (2-48), did an excellent job in restricting the West Indies to a manageable total. The English openers then laid the platform for the chase, with Smith and Duckett combining for a 93-run stand in just seven overs.

The win marked a 3-0 sweep for England in the ODI series, with the team's new captain, Harry Brook, making an uncharacteristic 26 off 36 deliveries in the process.
