Series Clinching Victory for West Indies
Carty and King's Tons Prove Decisive
West Indies' pace trio, comprising Matthew Forde, Alzarri Joseph, and Romario Shepherd, picked up seven wickets to set the stage for an impressive victory. Brandon King (102 off 117) and Keacy Carty (128 off 114) then took center stage, leading West Indies to an 8-wicket win against England in the third ODI in Barbados.
Key Partnership
King and Carty formed a remarkable 209-run partnership, the highest for any wicket in an ODI against England. They also helped West Indies cross the 100-run mark in 19 overs and 150 before the 27th over was completed.
Carty's Maiden ODI Ton
Carty became the first St Maarten player to score a hundred for West Indies, helping to solidify the West Indian victory. Despite Jamie Overton bowling King, Carty provided the finishing touches to seal the win.
England's Chasing Efforts
After England opted to bowl, Phil Salt and Sam Curran led the recovery with a 70-run stand for the fifth wicket. Salt eventually fell for 74, and the rest of the team was unable to match the success of Salt and Kings as the West Indians ended in higher scores.
