Cricket-England storm to T20 series win over West Indies with two matches to spare
Nov 14 (Reuters) -England sealed a Twenty20 series victory over West Indies with two matches to spare in St Lucia on Thursday after a nervy final-over win in their third T20 clash.
Following a lengthy rain delay, England seemed on course to cruise to an unexpectedly comfortable series success when play did get under way, reducing the hosts to 37 for five as the West Indies top order again failed to deliver.
A half-century from skipper Rovman Powell ensured West Indies could at least post a respectable 145 for eight from their 20 overs, a total England looked like they might struggle to chase down.
Wickets fell with regularity, but some late big hitting from Liam Livingstone helped England seal a first white-ball series success in the Caribbean since 2019, with two more T20s still to come at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground this weekend.
