NEW DELHI: Ben Duckett's blistering 84 off 46 balls powered England to a commanding 37-run victory over the West Indies, sealing a 3-0 whitewash in the T20I series on Tuesday in Southampton. Duckett’s innings, featuring 10 fours and 2 sixes, anchored England’s formidable total of 248/3 — their joint-highest T20I score on home soil.
