The highly anticipated ODI series between England Women and West Indies Women begins on May 30, 2025, at the County Ground in Derby, with the first match scheduled to start at 05:30 PM IST. Following a dominant 3–0 sweep in the T20I series, England will look to extend their winning momentum into the 50-over format, while West Indies aim to regroup and bounce back in the ODIs.
England were in complete control throughout the T20Is, asserting their dominance with both bat and ball. In the opening game, West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews delivered a stunning unbeaten 100 off 67 balls, guiding her team to 146/7. But lack of support from the rest of the batting lineup—Mandy Mangru’s 17 being the next highest—meant Matthews’ heroics fell short. England chased down the target with ease, thanks to Sophia Dunkley’s classy 81* and Heather Knight’s composed 43*, sealing an 8-wicket win with 21 balls to spare.
In the second T20I, the visitors brought in experienced players like Stafanie Taylor and Shemaine Campbelle, but the tactical shift didn’t pay off as they crumbled to 81/9. Emily Arlott starred with the ball, claiming 3/14, while Nat Sciver-Brunt hammered a brisk 55* off 30 balls to lead England to a nine-wicket victory.
The final T20I offered a tighter contest. Despite battling a hamstring injury, Heather Knight anchored England’s innings with an unbeaten 66, while Sciver-Brunt contributed a valuable 37, taking them to 144/5. Matthews once again impressed with figures of 3/32 and followed up with a valiant 71 off 54 in the chase. However, England’s bowling unit—featuring Bell, Arlott, Smith, and Dean, all with two wickets each—held firm to secure a 17-run win and complete the clean sweep.
