England Lions Sweep T20 Series Against West Indies A After All-Round Show at Basseterre

England Lions completed a 3-0 series sweep against West Indies A on November 4, 2026, claiming victory in the third unofficial T20I at Basseterre behind an all-round effort from leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed. The final West Indies A vs England Lions scorecard capped a lopsided T20 leg for the visiting side, who won comfortably across venues in Antigua and St Kitts.

The victory in St Kitts wrapped up an unbeaten T20 campaign for the Lions, who maintained firm control over the host team throughout the three matches.

How England Lions swept the T20 series

The tour opened in St John’s, Antigua, where England Lions established early dominance with an eight-wicket victory over West Indies A. Fast bowler Naavya Sharma ripped through the home team’s top order, taking four wickets to restrict West Indies A to a low total. Lions skipper Thomas Rew then anchored the run chase with an unbeaten half-century, taking his team home with overs to spare.

In the second match, the visitors maintained their intensity to wrap up the series with a game to spare. England Lions overcame West Indies A in another clinical display, taking a 2-0 lead and locking up the trophy before heading to St Kitts for the final fixture.

The third T20 in Basseterre on November 4 saw no let-up from the visitors. Rehan Ahmed produced a standout all-round performance with bat and ball, securing the third straight win and ensuring a complete sweep for England Lions on foreign soil.

Key player performances from Antigua to Basseterre

Several young players put up strong numbers across the three matches. Naavya Sharma’s four-wicket effort in Antigua set the tone for the entire T20 series, shutting down West Indies A’s scoring options right at the start of the tour.

Captain Thomas Rew was equally effective with the bat, finishing the opening match with an unbeaten fifty. Over the three games, England Lions registered some of their highest T20 team scores for a shadow tour, demonstrating deep batting lineups and sharp bowling executions.

Rehan Ahmed took centre stage in the third match at Basseterre. His contributions in both innings sealed the 3-0 result, giving the Lions strong momentum heading into the longer format of the tour.

Senior team contrast and upcoming 50-over matches

The lopsided result in this A-team series stands in contrast to recent results between the senior international teams. For instance, during the T20 World Cup 2026 match between the senior sides, West Indies defeated England by 30 runs. In that game, West Indies posted a total of 196/6, driven by an explosive 76 not out off 54 balls from Sherfane Rutherford, before defending the target against England’s main squad.

With the T20 leg concluded, attention shifts to the 50-over format. West Indies A and England Lions will play a five-match unofficial ODI series beginning on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Live streaming and TV broadcast coverage will be available for all five 50-over fixtures as the tour moves into its final phase.
