Suspense crime, Digital Desk : England's white-ball team completed a dominant 3-0 series whitewash over the West Indies, securing a comfortable seven-wicket victory in a rain-shortened final One-Day International (ODI) in Barbados.

For the home side, Keacy Carty was the standout batsman, anchoring the innings with a patient half-century (50), while Alick Athanaze contributed a solid 45.
Facing a revised target of 188 from 34 overs due to the DLS method, England’s chase was masterfully guided by an unbeaten 133-run partnership between Will Jacks and captain Jos Buttler. Jacks played a blistering innings, smashing 86 not out to earn the Player of the Match award. Buttler anchored the other end with a steady, unbeaten 58, ensuring England cruised to their target with 37 balls to spare.
