NEW DELHI: The fifth and final T20I between West Indies and England was abandoned on Sunday due to torrential rain in St. Lucia after just 5 overs of play.
The washout meant England secured a 3-1 series win.

When the rain arrived, West Indies were 44 for no loss after five overs. as openers Shai Hope (14 not out) and Evin Lewis (29 not out) looked set for another substantial partnership.
England had dominated the series initially, winning the first three matches. However, the West Indies bounced back to win the fourth T20I by five wickets on Saturday, preventing a series whitewash.
Hope and Lewis were in excellent form, both scoring half-centuries to help West Indies chase down a challenging target of 219.
“We’re delighted with the series win. We’ve played some brilliant cricket and we’ve got the winning habit back,” said England skipper Jos Buttler.
West Indies captain Rovman Powell acknowledged England’s superiority throughout the series.
“It was a tough series, a lot of credit to Jos and his team. We played good cricket in patches but not for long enough periods,” he said.
“We have a template to work with as Caribbean cricketers. We wander off and play in different leagues. We have to keep our communication and make sure we’re ready to go.”
