Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
Congratulations to West Indies team on beating England in their One Day International series. After very competitive series West Indies took the lead by winning third match by 8 wickets. They easily reached England target of 263 runs. Excellent batting by Keacy Carty and Brandon King who both scored over 100 runs was key to their success. They worked well together showing off their team skills and determination. England bowling was not strong enough to stop West Indies momentum which led to their loss. This win shows how hard West Indies worked and how well they worked together making for exciting end to the series.
This was a big win for West Indies as beating England in the series was not something anyone expected. West Indies won by 2-1. The West Indies team were at the top of their batting in this match. Brandon King made a 102 runs while Keacy Carty was not out at 128. You don't often see centuries by two players in the same innings and West Indies showed how composed and committed they were to chase any score. They outclassed the West Indies team. As opposed to this, England was always going to lose as they started so badly in this match. They were 24-4 at one stage.
Yesterday there was the match between the West Indies and England. England team was batting first and gave the valuable reasonable target but West Indes have very good and great power hitters since their team came in the cricket. They always have amazing batsmen and little bit of amazing bowling as well. At the same time, we have to praise them for their fielding, they are good in all of these departments but most of the time, fail to reach the trophy in the World Cups but recently in the 2024 World Cup, they also played well, I hope better for them in coming future.
