The dynamic duo stitched together a 120-run opening stand in just 9.5 overs, with Duckett smashing an electrifying 84 off 46 balls and Smith contributing a rapid-fire 60 off just 26 deliveries.
England eventually posted a mammoth 248/3 in their 20 overs — their second-highest total in T20I history, peppered with boundaries and sixes that kept the packed crowd roaring.
Powell Fights, But England Holds Firm
In response, West Indies showed signs of resistance, led by skipper Rovman Powell who remained unbeaten on a heroic 79*. Despite his valiant efforts, the Caribbean side could never quite match the pace set by England’s top order.
Tight bowling spells from left-arm pacer Luke Wood and veteran leg-spinner Adil Rashid turned the screws on the visitors. Wood struck early to derail the top order, while Rashid’s variations kept the middle overs in England’s control. The Windies were eventually restricted to 211/8, falling short by 37 runs.

From individual brilliance to collective execution, England’s performance in the series has ticked all the boxes. With depth in batting and variety in bowling, they look every bit the contenders for the world title.
