Saqib Mahmood (3\/17) and Jamie Overton (3\/20) dismantled the Windies top order, with Shai Hope, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran, Roston Chase, and Shimron Hetmyer all falling cheaply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Captain Rovman Powell fought back with 54 off 41 balls, while Romario Shepherd added 30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lower order contributions from Alzarri Joseph and Akeal Hosein brought the West Indies total to a modest 145\/8 in their 20 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reply, England also had a shaky start, losing Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, and Jacob Bethell during the powerplay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Will Jacks (32 off 33 balls), along with Curran (41) and Livingstone (39), formed a crucial partnership, providing a solid foundation for England. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosein\u2019s excellent bowling (4\/22) threatened to turn the match, but England reached the target with half an over to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth T20I is scheduled for Saturday at 14:00 hours at the same venue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tyriq Walters | November 14, 2024 England secured victory over the West Indies with three balls to spare, claiming an unassailable lead in their five-match T20 series.
