WI vs ENG: After ODI, England lost in T20 series also, West Indies captured the series 3-2

West Indies registered a decisive four-wicket win over England in the fifth and final T20 match to clinch the five-match series 3-2. The Caribbean team has won its third consecutive T20 series after recent successes against South Africa and India in 2023.

There are less than six months left for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. Meanwhile, the Caribbean team seems to be in great form. This is good news for the team ahead of the mega-event, which they will also co-host with the United States.

The last match of the series played on Thursday was low-scoring. Batting first, England could score only 132 runs. In England's innings, Jos Buttler was out early after scoring 11 runs, after which the important wickets of Will Jack and Phil Salt (38) fell.

Both Akil and Gudakesh became victims of Moti's spin pair. Liam Livingston (28) and Moeen Ali (23) took the team to a respectable total. In reply, West Indies achieved this target on the second ball of the 20th over with 4 wickets remaining and ensured a 3-2 series win.

Shai Hope's unbeaten inning of 43 runs played an important role in West Indies' victory. West Indies spinner Gudakesh Moti was named player of the match for taking three wickets during England's innings, while English opener Phil Salt won the player of the series award for his two centuries and 331 runs.
