block

Brandon King and Keacy Carty blasted centuries as the West Indies (WI) scored a series-clinching eight-wicket victory over England in the third and final game of their One Day International series at Kensington Oval on Wednesday.

Replying to the visitors’ total of 263 for eight, King and Carty featured in a second-wicket stand of 209, the duo making light of what could have been a daunting task following the early loss of Evin Lewis.

King fell for 102 with victory in sight but Carty finished on an unbeaten 128 after hitting the winning boundary as West Indies coasted home on 267 for the loss of two wickets with seven overs to spare.
