England closed out their tri-series with a win, and centurion Ben Duckett is the man in the spotlight after a big knock at the top of the order.
England wrapped up their tri-series campaign the best way possible: with a victory. Ben Duckett led the way with a century, a fitting finish for a batter who has made fearless strokeplay his trademark.
The left-hander's hundred gave England the platform they needed. Duckett has built his reputation on intent, taking the attack to bowlers from the opening overs, and this innings was another example of that approach paying off.
For England, ending the series with a win matters beyond the result. It sends the squad into their next assignments with confidence, and a centurion at the top of the order is exactly the kind of momentum a side wants to carry forward.
A new podcast episode has Duckett reflecting on the hundred and on how the team's tri-series journey wrapped up. It is worth a listen for anyone who wants to hear a centurion break down what it felt like out in the middle.
