West Indies v England 3rd ODI at Barbados
WI v ENG, 3rd ODI, Barbados: West Indies beat England by 8 wickets (WI 2:1)
Mar 27, 2009
Captain Chris Gayle slammed eight sixes and five fours in a swashbuckling 80 off 43 balls as West Indies romped to an eight-wicket win over England in the third one-day cricket international on Friday.
Gayle's powerful display helped West Indies race to a modest Duckworth/Lewis victory target of 117-2 in just 14.4 overs and take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
Earlier, allrounder Dwayne Bravo claimed a career-best 4-19 to help skittle England for 117 all out off 41.3 overs at Kensington Oval. Fast bowler Fidel Edwards made the initial strikes and claimed 3-28 as the home team strangled England on a pacy pitch.
Kieron Pollard (2-16) and Lionel Baker (1-21) offered fine support while Darren Sammy conceded just 19 runs off his nine overs. Allrounder Dimitri Mascarenhas topscored for England with 36 off 76 balls.
A light interruption for rain reduced the match to 44 overs each and meant that West Indies' Duckworth/Lewis recalculated target to win was one run less at exactly 117. The fourth game is at the same ground on Sunday.
