England’s bowlers set up the win against West Indies
Earlier in the match, England’s bowlers made significant inroads after winning the toss and choosing to field. Saqib Mahmood dismissed Brandon King early, while Jofra Archer sent Evin Lewis back for just eight. West Indies struggled to gain momentum, losing key wickets at regular intervals. Nicholas Pooran‘s slow 14 off 23 balls and disappointing contributions from Roston Chase and Sherfane Rutherford left the hosts at a challenging 80/5 after 13 overs. Despite a valiant 43 from captain Rovman Powell and a late cameo by Romario Shepherd, the West Indies managed only 158/8. Mahmood, Livingstone, and Dan Mousley each picked up two wickets, effectively restricting the West Indies to a below-par score.
Buttler and Will Jacks’ partnership
Chasing 159, England got off to a rocky start as last game’s centurion, Phil Salt, was dismissed for a golden duck by Akeal Hosein. However, Buttler found a reliable partner in Will Jacks, and together, they turned the game around with a phenomenal 129-run stand. Jacks contributed a solid 38 off 29 balls, while Buttler dominated with a blistering 83 off 45 deliveries, featuring eight fours and six sixes.
Their partnership dismantled the West Indies bowling attack, setting a strong foundation for England’s comfortable chase. With Buttler’s commanding knock and Jacks’ solid support, England chased down the target in just 14.5 overs, winning by seven wickets with 31 balls remaining. Liam Livingstone added the finishing touches with an unbeaten 23 off 11 balls.
