The West Indies’ chase began promisingly, aided by an English new-ball attack that struggled to find its rhythm early on. Although Jamie Overton’s introduction brought a breakthrough, it didn’t do much to stem the flow of runs. King looked as assured as ever, while Carty grew in confidence as the innings progressed. Soon, both batters were matching each other shot for shot, and the game quickly turned into one-way traffic. Both batters reached centuries during their 209-run stand, with Carty's being a maiden ODI hundred, making it even more special. King couldn’t stay until the end, but Carty, along with captain Shai Hope, guided West Indies home with 7 overs to spare.
An emphatic victory for the West Indies as they clinch the series in style! Chasing 264 turned out to be a stroll in the park for the hosts. Beyond just a series win, this triumph also brings crucial points in the race for direct qualification to the 2027 ODI World Cup. Despite the series loss, it hasn’t been all doom and gloom for the visitors. With as many as four players making their ODI debuts, they lacked experience but will take away valuable lessons from this series.

An appeal for caught behind but the umpire is unmoved. Liam Livingstone sends it upstairs more as a formality! This is tossed outside off and turning away further, Shai Hope looks to drive but misses. The ball goes past the outside edge and Phil Salt collects it to his right before knocking the bails off. The UltraEdge shows no spike and England waste the review.
