West Indies 224-5 (20 overs): Powell 107 (53), Pooran 70 (43)
England 204-9 (20 overs): Banton 73 (39), Salt 57 (24); Shepherd 3-59
West Indies won 20 runs; lead series 2-1
Rovman Powell's blistering century laid the foundation for West Indies' 20-run win over England in the third Twenty20 international at Bridgetown on Wednesday (Jan 26) as they went 2-1 up in a five-match series.
Rovman Powell hit a majestic century to lead West Indies to a 20-run victory over England in the third Twenty20 in Barbados.
Powell struck 107 off 53 balls, including 10 sixes, as he ruthlessly punished wayward bowling by England to record his maiden T20 ton.
He put on 122 for the third wicket with Nicholas Pooran, who smashed 70 off 43, as the hosts posted 224-5, their highest T20 score against England.
In reply, England opener Tom Banton made 73 off 39 and T20 debutant Phil Salt hit 57 off 24.
But the rest of the order failed to fire as the much-changed tourists, without injured captain Eoin Morgan, could only reach 204-9.
West Indies now lead the five-match series 2-1, with the final two games to be played on Saturday and Sunday.
