Dorne’s unbeaten 102 leads WI U-19 to series win against England

The West Indies secured a 4–2 series victory with a game to spare after a confident run chase handed them a six-wicket win on Saturday at the National Stadium, Grenada.
With the visitors needing a win to keep the series alive, England elected to bat first after winning the toss, but a disciplined West Indies bowling effort kept them in check.
England captain Farhan Ahmed led from the front with a composed 54 off 76 deliveries, striking two boundaries and a lone six. Isaac Mohammed added a solid 45, while wicketkeeper Joe Moores contributed 42 in the middle order.
Despite these efforts, England failed to construct a defining partnership and were eventually bowled out for 221 in 47.5 overs. Jonathan van Lange produced a superb spell, claiming 4 for 17, while Vitel Lawes and Matthew Miller picked up two wickets apiece.
Chasing 222 for victory, West Indies captain Joshua Dorne once again proved the backbone of the innings with a magnificent unbeaten 102 from 101 balls. His knock featured 10 fours and two towering sixes as he anchored the chase with authority.
Kunal Tilokani provided crucial momentum, smashing a blistering 49 off just 29 balls, decorated with eight boundaries and a six. Matthew Miller also chipped in with an important 43, ensuring the hosts remained in control of the chase throughout. West Indies reached their target in 38.1 overs, finishing on 223 for 6.
England’s James Minto and Manny Lumsden each claimed two wickets, but the visitors were unable to halt the Caribbean dominance.
With the victory, West Indies lock up the series 4–2, heading into Monday’s final match at the National Stadium with confidence and momentum.
