England Sweep West Indies Series as Smith Scores Maiden ODI Fifty

  • England secured a clean 3-0 victory over the West Indies on Tuesday at the Kia Oval, with Jamie Smith achieving his first ODI half-century.
  • The reduced 40-over match faced delays after the West Indies arrived late due to traffic, resulting in a truncated contest and revised target of 246.
  • Smith opened for the first time in this series and struck a quickfire 64 off 28 balls with 10 fours and three sixes, helping set up a dominant run chase.
  • Smith expressed his satisfaction with performing well at his home venue, helping to provide a solid foundation that relieved pressure on the middle order, while Harry Brook emphasized Smith’s influential role during the powerplay.
  • The victory marked England's first ODI series whitewash since 2022 and set up a forthcoming three-match T20 series beginning Friday at Chester-le-Street.
