West Indies vanquished Ireland in the third and final One-Day International at National Cricket Stadium in Grenada by five wickets to complete a 3-0 sweep of the series.
Opener Evin Lewis smashed his third ODI century, guiding Windies’ to reach the rain-revised target of 197 with 64 balls to spare. Lewis missed out to score a ton in the first ODI at Barbados as he remained unbeaten on 99, which his team won by five wickets as well.

A third ODI ton for Lewis! 🎉
He falls next ball, followed quickly by Shepherd, but Pooran and Chase finish the job. A five wicket win for the hosts!#WIvIRE pic.twitter.com/SEIuK1Udpa
