Bridgetown: West Indies 43, England 44-2 - England won by eight wickets

Scorecard

England finished 2022 with a 5-0 series win over West Indies after completing a resounding eight-wicket in Bridgetown.

If suffering a clean sweep defeat on home soil wasn't bad enough for West Indies, they also set an unwanted record for their lowest score in a T20I after being skittled for just 43 runs. Their previous low was 59 for 9 against India in Providence in 2019.

West Indies won the toss for the first time in the T20I series and opted to bat, a decision captain Hayley Matthews would soon come to rue.

After dispatching the first over for seven runs, the hosts crumbled to 16 for 4 at the end of the powerplay.

Freya Davies collected two early wickets, bowling Matthews for 8 and pinning wicketkeeper Rashada Williams lbw either side of Aaliyah Alleyne departing hit wicket off the bowling of Nat Sciver.

Issy Wong (1 for 13) then got in on the act in the sixth over, Sophie Ecclestone taking a routine catch to send Shabika Gajnabi back to the pavilion.

The introduction of spin only compounded West Indies' misery, with Ecclestone bowling a maiden and Charlie Dean (2 for 8) accounting for Trishan Holder (caught Sciver) and Kyshona Knight (caught Heather Knight) in consecutive overs: 28 for 6 at the halfway mark.

Alice Davidson-Richards picked up two wickets in three balls in the 11th to dispense with Afy Fletcher and Djenaba Joseph and soon had a third when Sciver held on to Shenata Grimmond. Davies trapped Cherry-Ann Fraser lbw to wrap up the innings in the 17th over.

Joseph top-scored for West Indies with 11 while Davidson-Richards and Davies collected 3 for 5 and 3 for 2, respectively.

Matthews picked up the wicket of Sophia Dunkley and Karishma Ramharack accounted for Danni Wyatt to briefly frustrate England but Nat Sciver's 12-ball 20 sealed the win inside six overs.
