England vs West Indies: Nat Sciver-Brunt guides hosts to series clean sweep over poor Windies – 2025-06-07 18:59:00 – BBC

England sealed a comprehensive one-day international series clean sweep over West Indies with a nine-wicket thrashing in a rain-affected encounter at Taunton.

Set a target * of just 106 in a match reduced to 21 overs per side, England cruised to victory in 10.5 overs with captain Nat Sciver-Brunt finishing unbeaten on 57 from 33 balls.

Sophia Dunkley made 26 at the top of the order as England rejigged their batting line-up, while Alice Capsey finished unbeaten on 20 in another one-sided affair.

West Indies, who were again without star all-rounder Hayley Matthews because of a shoulder injury, had slipped to 4-3 inside the first four overs after England chose to bowl first under gloomy skies.

Stand-in captain Shemaine Campbelle and opener Qiana Joseph gradually rebuilt with a partnership of 39 before heavy rain led to a five-hour delay after 12.3 overs had been bowled.

Campbelle fell to Charlie Dean from the first ball after the resumption as the tourists slumped further to 58-6, but they smacked 31 from the last two overs to post 106-8.

Leg-spinner Sarah Glenn was the pick of England's bowlers with 3-21, while seamer Em Arlott took 2-15.

England also won the preceding T20 series 3-0, and their summer continues with three * T20s and three * ODIs against India, starting at Trent Bridge on 28 June.
