AMSTELVEEN: Kyle Mayers and Shamarh Brooks slammed fine centuries as West Indies made a 3-0 clean sweep of the One-day International series against the Netherlands with a 20-run victory here.
The win sees West Indies climb the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League table to fourth with 80 points. Netherlands, on the other hand, are at the bottom with 25 points.
It was Mayers and Brooks' maiden centuries as they helped the tourist post a massive 308/5 in 50 overs. But their total could have been even larger if not for some tight bowling from Ryan Klein.
Klein conceded just 19 from his last three overs, as West Indies could only muster 67 from their final 10 overs with the loss of late wickets also slowing them down. Mayers and Brooks combined superbly for a 184-run stand for the second wicket, finding the boundary at ease and finishing with a total of 11 sixes between them. Mayers in particular found scoring easy, with the left-hander smashing eight fours and seven sixes during his entertaining 106-ball stay.
Brief scores: West Indies 308/5 in 50 overs (Kyle Mayers 120, Shamarh Brooks 101 not out) beat Netherlands 288 in 49.5 overs (Vikramjit Singh 54, Max O'Dowd 89, Musa Ahmed 42; Shermon Lewis 3/67) by 20 runs. IANS
