Ahead of the first ODI match, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the use of technology to monitor front-foot no-balls for all matches during the tour. [8] The third umpire called the front-foot no-balls, communicating this with the on-field umpires. [9] It was used as a trial to see if it can be implemented further, without a detriment to the flow of the game. [10] The trial was previously used in December 2019, in the matches between India and the West Indies. [11]

The West Indies won the first two ODIs to take an unassailable lead in the series. [12] The West Indies won the third ODI by five wickets, winning the series 3–0. [13] It was the West Indies first ODI series win at home since beating Bangladesh in August 2014. [14] For the first T20I, Jacqueline Williams was named as the third umpire, becoming the first woman to officiate as a third umpire in a men's international cricket match. [15] The T20I series was drawn 1–1, after the second match finished in a no result due to rain. [16]
