**Bridgetown, Barbados:** The West Indies secured a 2-1 series victory against England in a thrilling third One Day International (ODI) at Kensington Oval in Barbados. The hosts, led by a century from Brandon King and a masterful unbeaten knock from Kyle Mayers, chased down a target of 264 with eight wickets in hand.
England, batting first, got off to a shaky start losing four wickets for just 24 runs. A 70-run partnership between Phil Salt (74) and Sam Curran (40) steadied the innings. A subsequent 6th wicket stand of 70 between Salt and Dan Mousley (57) saw the English side reach a respectable total of 263.
However, the West Indies batting proved too strong for the English bowlers. Mayers (102) and Kyle Carty (128*) put on a dominant 209-run partnership for the second wicket. Mayers, in particular, showed great composure and skill, hitting 13 fours and a six in his century. Carty, meanwhile, played with remarkable assurance, smashing 15 fours and two sixes in his unbeaten knock.
The West Indies eventually sealed the victory in the 43rd over, demonstrating a clear dominance throughout the game. The series win marks a significant triumph for the West Indies as they prepare for the upcoming ICC World Cup.
