**Bridgetown, Barbados:** Keacy Carty smashed a maiden century to lead West Indies to a comprehensive victory in the third and final ODI against England, securing a 2-1 series win for the home side.

Carty’s blistering 128* from 114 balls, including 11 fours and two sixes, completely overshadowed a valiant effort from England, who were struggling after being reduced to 24/4 in the powerplay. The match was effectively decided by a 209-run partnership between Carty and Brandon King, who also reached a century (102) in a dominant display of batting.

England’s fightback was led by Phil Salt and Dan Mousley, who both hit half-centuries, while Jamie Overton contributed a useful knock and a wicket. However, their efforts were ultimately in vain against the relentless West Indies batting.

Carty’s century was particularly impressive given his nervous start. He was given out lbw on 13 but successfully reviewed the decision, and from there, he went on to dominate the English bowling attack. His innings set the tone for a complete West Indies dominance as they cruised to victory with 42 balls remaining.

The series win is a significant boost for West Indies, who are now looking forward to the five-match T20I series against England, starting on Saturday. The win also showcased the talent of Carty, who will be looking to build on this impressive performance in the upcoming series.
