West Indies' Competent Total
Earlier in the day, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, and Sherfane Rutherford played crucial cameos, propelling the West Indies to a competitive score of 180. England, led by captain Jos Buttler, won the toss and elected to bowl first, setting the stage for an exciting contest.
England’s Turnaround
Despite a fluctuating group stage, England made a strong statement in the Super Eight stage with this victory. Phil Salt anchored the chase with a well-crafted half-century, while Jonny Bairstow's quickfire innings provided the necessary impetus to finish the game with ease.
A Tough Day for the West Indies
The West Indies, who had been dominant in the group stage, found themselves on the back foot against a resurgent England side. The defeat was a stark contrast to their earlier performances, where they had effortlessly brushed aside their opponents.
With this win, England has not only opened their account in the Super Eight stage but also signaled their intent to be serious contenders in the tournament.
