England Thrash West Indies: England’s white-ball revolution under new captain Harry Brook is off to a dream start. Just 15 days into his leadership stint, the young skipper has overseen two commanding series clean sweeps — first in ODIs, now in T20Is. In the final T20I at Southampton, England once again outclassed the West Indies, winning by 37 runs to seal the three-match series 3-0 in dominant fashion.

It was a high-octane batting display that set the tone for England’s win. Opting to bat first after losing the toss, England put up a mammoth 248/3, matching their highest-ever total in T20 internationals. At the heart of it was Benn Duckett, who played a scintillating knock of 84 off 46 deliveries, smashing 10 fours and 2 sixes to delight the home crowd.

Opening Blitz: Duckett and Smith Lay the Foundation

England Thrash West Indies: The foundation for the imposing total was laid by a fearless opening stand between Duckett and debutant Jamie Smith, who brought fireworks of his own. The duo stitched together a rapid 120-run partnership off just 53 balls, putting the Windies bowlers under immediate pressure.

Smith, showcasing maturity and aggression, thumped 60 off just 26 balls, laced with five towering sixes. England raced to 83 runs in the Powerplay without losing a wicket — an early indicator of what was to come. At one point, they had reached 50 in just 24 balls.

Duckett brought up his fifty in just 20 balls, continuing to attack even as Smith departed. By the halfway mark of the innings, England were flying at 135/1 after 10 overs.

Finishing Touch: Brook and Bethell Turn on the Heat

England Thrash West Indies: There was no respite for West Indies in the second half of the innings either. Harry Brook (35* off 21 balls) and Jacob Bethell (36* off 16) combined for an unbeaten 70-run stand in just 31 balls, ensuring England never lost momentum. Both batters mixed aggression with placement, taking England to 248/3 — a total that seemed insurmountable.

For West Indies, the bowling figures reflected the carnage. Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, and Sherfane Rutherford picked up one wicket apiece, but none of the bowlers could contain the flow of runs.

West Indies Falter Despite Powell’s Lone Resistance

England Thrash West Indies: Chasing a daunting target of 249, West Indies had a stuttering start and never truly recovered. Evin Lewis and Johnson Charles fell early for just 9 runs each, and by the time they reached 119, half the side was back in the pavilion.

Amid the wreckage, it was Rovman Powell who stood tall. The West Indies batter played a lone hand, scoring a valiant 79 off 45 deliveries*, including a flurry of boundaries late in the innings. Shai Hope also chipped in with a well-made 45 off 27, while Shimron Hetmyer provided a brief spark with 26 off just 8 balls.

But the required run rate kept climbing, and England’s disciplined bowling ensured there were no late heroics. West Indies eventually finished on 211/8, 37 runs short of the target.

England Bowlers Deliver Under Pressure

England Thrash West Indies: Among the bowlers, Luke Wood emerged as the standout performer for England, claiming 3/31 in four overs, including key middle-order wickets. Veteran leg-spinner Adil Rashid was clinical as always, picking up 2/30, and keeping things tight in the middle overs.

The match perfectly encapsulated England’s white-ball dominance — aggressive batting up top, powerful finishes, and controlled bowling under pressure.

Brook’s Leadership Blossoms Early

England Thrash West Indies: With this win, Harry Brook has now led England to six wins in his first six matches as captain across ODIs and T20Is. Taking over from Jos Buttler, Brook has already shown maturity, innovation, and calmness under pressure, signaling a new chapter in England’s white-ball story.

What’s Next for England?

England Thrash West Indies: Having swept the West Indies in both formats, England’s next big challenge comes in red-ball cricket. They now gear up for a five-match Test series against India, starting June 20 — a marquee clash that will test their depth and adaptability.

But for now, England can celebrate a flawless fortnight in white-ball cricket, where a new captain, emerging stars, and an aggressive mindset have all clicked in perfect harmony. Whether with bat or ball, the message is clear — England are ready to dominate again.
