Brandon King and Keacy Carty’s record-breaking partnership of 209 runs propelled West Indies to a thrilling victory over England in the series decider. This partnership, the highest ever for any wicket against England in an ODI, showcased the strength and depth of the West Indies batting unit.
The English innings began promisingly with Phil Salt’s patient 74 runs. However, the top order collapsed dramatically, with Will Jacks and Jordan Cox departing early. Liam Livingstone, who had scored a century in the previous match, struggled to find his rhythm.
Sam Curran and Moeen Ali provided some resistance, scoring 40 and 57 runs respectively. Jamie Overton and Jofra Archer contributed quickfire innings of 32 and 38 runs, respectively, helping England to a respectable total of 263 runs.
However, the West Indies batting duo of Brandon King (102 runs) and Keacy Carty (128 runs) dominated the chase, dismantling the English bowling attack and securing a convincing victory for their team. This series win further solidified West Indies’ position as a formidable force in ODI cricket.
