Bridgetown (Barbados), March 14 (IANS/CMC) West Indies failed in their bid to complete a clean sweep, as England held their nerve to record a consolation victory, in an exciting finale to their three-match Twenty20 International ****** here. Set a challenging but achievable 166 to win, West Indies were propelled by Lendl Simmons who top scored with 69 and wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin who got 33, as they finished six runs short of their target at Kensington Oval, reports CMC. They required 17 from a nerve-jangling last over but despite a six from West Indies captain Darren Sammy (15 **t out), the hosts just failed to get over the line, with six needed from the last delivery. Ironically, Barbados-born seamer Christopher Jordan proved to be England's hero, snatching three for 39 from his four overs, including the crucial wicket of Ramdin in the penultimate over.
