West Indies v England 5th ODI at St Lucia
WI v ENG, 5th ODI, St Lucia: England beats West Indies by 26 runs, wins ODI series (ENG 3:2)
Apr 03, 2009
All-rounder Andrew Flintoff's hat trick in a career-best 5-19 piloted England to a 26-run win against West Indies and victory in the one-day international cricket series at Beausejour Stadium on Friday.
England earned its first one-day series triumph in the Caribbean by 3-2 from 2-1 down. In a rain-shortened match, England, on the back of a top score of 48 from Kevin Pietersen, totalled 172-5 off 29 overs.
Opener Ravi Bopara contributed 44 while Paul Collingwood with 35 not out and Matt Prior on 25 not out beefed up the innings towards the end. Left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn took 2-23 and medium pacer Kieron Pollard claimed 2-31.
Once West Indies lost captain Chris Gayle for a duck, the host was always under pressure. It eventually folded for 146 all out off 28 overs.
