10:25 PM local time (02:55 AM IST): That brings us to the end of our coverage from this third and the final T20I with England with the home team sealing the series 3-0. It's time for England to pose for the photographs. Like always we had a good time in the comm box bringing the live coverage from the series and this game. The coverage for the WTC final begins in about 11 hours time. Do join us then and for many more sporting actions on Sportskeeda. For now, this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator Darpan Tikiya. Goodnight!
Harry Brook (England captain): Yeah very pleased with the lads to top of the series and winning the last game is very pleasing. It helps having Rashid and Dawson. It's been a challenge but it has been good. Yeah like you said, we have depth in batting which gives permission to the batters to go big. It's all about batting a lot in the Test cricket and will look to prepare as much as I can. Quite a few work needs to be done on the captaincy front and will look forward to September.
Shai Hope (West Indies captain): Just think about grasping that crucial moments in the game. We haven't played a complete game together, trying to process and can get better as much as we can. It's about maximise deliveries but also minimise the dot deliveries. As a West Indian batting group, sd need to keep scoring big. We need to improve everywhere. It will be important to bring some success back to West Indies with the three matches against Ireland.
Jos Buttler (Player of the Series): "I really enjoyed the series. Brought a lot of confidence in the group. I have enjoyed batting at no.3, it gives new motivation, as in it is a new challenge to look forward to. I look to enjoy the game. I just wanted to contribute with the bat and with the gloves. The spinners have been brilliant. Some fine all-rounders there and Adil Rashid is aging like a fine wine."
Ben Duckett (Player of the Match): "It was obviously a great pitch to bat on. The ball did not do a great deal at the top. Jamie put the pressure onto the bowler. That made life easy for me. He hits the ball in a very different area to me. So far our partnership has been good. I try to keep it simple. I hit it if it is in my area."
10:03 PM IST (02:33 AM IST): England won by 37 runs
Ben Duckett 84(46) | Luke Wood 3/31(4) Rovman Powell 79*(45) | Sherfane Rutherford 1/20(2)
Another thumping win for England as they defeated West Indies by 37 runs in the third T20I to take the series 3-0. West Indies have to go empty handed in both the ODI and the T20I series and will be hoping to show that they are still capable of winning matches in the upcoming series against Ireland.
The target of 249 was always going to be a massive ask for the visitors and for them to get anywhere close to the target, a blistering powerplay was the order of the day. Evin Lewis started the innings with a maximum while Johnson Charles struggled to get going. He was eventually dismissed by Luke Wood for a score of 9 while Evin Lewis also departed off the same score.
Shai Hope was there and was joined by Shimron Hetmyer who started off in a blazing fashion. He smashed three sixes off just 8 deliveries before departing at the hands of Jacob Bethell. Sherfane Rutherford came out next and just batted for four deliveries before holding out in the deep of the bowling of Adil Rashid.
From there on, it was a good partnership between Rohman Powell and Shai Hope which gave some sorts of hope to West Indies. Hope smashed some blistering shots and was supported well by Powell. It was a great comeback from Brydon Carse which accounted for Shai Hope at a crucial juncture of the game.
Jason Holder and Powell had fun towards the end, smashing some lusty blows but by then, the match was all but sealed by England. There was serious power on display by Powell in the final over although, it came in a losing cause. Stay tuned, we will be back shortly with the post match presentation ceremony.

19.6 Brydon Carse to Rovman Powell, full again, at the off peg. Powell can only bunt it to long-off and that caps of the series. England complete a historic clean sweep — their first over West Indies in a T20 series. Harry Brook's captaincy tenure has started on the perfect note.
19.5 Brydon Carse to Rovman Powell, goes very full, at the fourth-fifth stump. Powell fails to get under it. Ends up slicing it towards long-off for a couple.
19.5 Brydon Carse to Rovman Powell, BOWLED! BUT IT IS A NO-BALL! Full and straight. Powell backed away and missed it. Carse smiled, then looked back at the umpire and his expressions changed completely.
19.4 Brydon Carse to Rovman Powell, ANOTHER BOUNDARY! Powell is giving the WI fans something to cheer about. Short ball that got up to head height. Powell swatted it away to the square leg boundary.
19.3 Brydon Carse to Rovman Powell, FOUR MORE! Once again bowled fuller, but outside off this time. Powell swung hard and the ball went to deep third off the outside edge.
19.2 Brydon Carse to Rovman Powell, fires in the yorker at the pads. Powell goes for the helicopter like swing and the ball deflects to the deep third boundary off his outside edge.
19.1 Brydon Carse to Rovman Powell, MAXIMISES THE FREE HIT! SIX! Hurled in on the fuller side of good length, at the pads. Powell flicked it over square leg for a biggie.
19.1 Brydon Carse to Rovman Powell, low full toss outside off, speared in from over the wicket. Powell punches it to the sweeper on the off side and does not run. And now he will get a free hit because the bowler has overstepped.
That's the end of the penultimate over and bit of a chuckle between the players as Akeal Hosein left the final delivery of the over which you don't really see in T20 cricket.

18.6 Adil Rashid to Akeal Hosein, googly on a good length. Hosein leaves it!
18.5 Adil Rashid to Rovman Powell, RUNOUT CHANCE MISSED! This one spun off a length to finish at the off peg. Powell bunted it towards short third and picked one. Hosein would have fallen short, but Buttler failed to whip the stumps off even after collecting the ball.
That's the end of the penultimate over and bit of a chuckle between the players as Akeal Hosein left the final delivery of the over which you don't really see in T20 cricket.
