England crushed the West Indies and registered a thumping 3-0 series win on the back of a convincing 37-run victory at The Rose Bowl in Southampton on Tuesday. In a show of brute dominance, the batters on both sides went all guns blazing. It was certainly a painful outing for the bowlers as massive fireworks ensued and the ball travelled to all parts.  A blistering display from the English openers, Jamie Smith (60 off 26) and Ben Duckett (84 off 46), lifted England to 248—their second-highest total in T20I history. The West Indies, in response, displayed a spirited fightback. Rovman Powell (79 off 45) and Shimron Hetmyer  (26 off 8) showcased extraordinary brilliance, but the Windies fell comprehensively short of their desired target. 

England Innings

After being inserted to bat, openers Ben Duckett and Jamie Smith launched a ferocious assault on the Windies bowlers, registering a dominant 120-run stand inside just nine overs. Smith blazed his way to 60 before falling, while Duckett continued the onslaught with a scintillating 84 off 46 balls. By the halfway stage of the innings, England had reached the score of 135-1 which became their highest score in T20I cricket after 10 overs. Contributions from Jos Buttler, Harry Brook, and Jacob Bethell kept the momentum going, propelling England to the brink of the 250-run mark.

England’s batters came out all guns blazing, leaving the West Indies with few answers in the early exchanges. However, to their credit, the visitors pulled things back nicely after the halfway mark, stringing together some quiet overs and picking up key wickets to stem the flow. Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, and Sherfane Rutherford chipped in with a wicket each, while Jason Holder impressed with a tidy spell at the death.

West Indies Innings

Chasing a record 249 for a consolation win was always going to be a tough ask for the visitors. The West Indies stumbled early, losing both openers within the first five overs. While Shimron Hetmyer and Jason Holder offered brief resistance, it was Shai Hope (45) and Rovman Powell (unbeaten 79) who provided the only substantial fight. Despite their efforts, the Men in Maroon fell well short, outplayed by a disciplined and clinical English side. The English bowlers did go for a few runs but picked up timely wickets along the way, which kept them alive in the game. 

Besides, some helpful contributions from Hetmyer (26 off 8) and Holder (25 off 12) did help West Indies get close to their target but the constant fall of wickets kept pegging them back. Luke Wood led the way for England with an impressive three-wicket haul (3-41), while Rashid, Carse, Dawson, and Bethell each contributed with key breakthroughs.

ENG vs WI Key Players

Jos Buttler 

Jos Buttler the batter remains an important part of the side as one of the best white-ball players going around today. He got back to rhythm in the IPL and looks in peak form helping Brook build around him.

Shimron Hetmyer

Hetmyer is another player making a comeback having last played in the T20 World Cup last year. He is now the vice-captain with his experience and leadership seen as an important factor. 

ENG vs WI Match Tips

England continue as favorites with commanding wins.

Match Prediction: England Will Win the Match

The third and final T20I of the IT20 Vitality Blast series between England and the West Indies will be hosted in the Rose Bowl Stadium in Southampton. The series has already been decided in favor of the hosts by 2-0. England have been all over the visitors in this white-ball series. Following their successful 3-0 triumph in the ODI series, England have continued their dominant run over the tourists in the shortest format as well. Buttler (96 off 59) and Liam Dawson (4-20) were two major standout performers from the first T20I, while Luke Wood (2-25) was impressive with the ball in the second T20I. Their middle order, comprising Banton and Bethell, is firing on all cylinders, and their quick-fire cameos towards the back end proved to be a decisive factor in England's win in the second T20I. The hosts want to leave no stone unturned and will certainly look to go for the kill to make it 3-0.

The West Indies have been winless in this format since November 16, 2024. This was also the day the Men in Maroon last beat England in this format. To further compound their woes, the West Indies have lost their last five T20Is, which includes an embarrassing 3-0 whitewash against a brittle Bangladesh side at home. However, the visitors did show some fight in the second T20I. Shai Hope (49 off 38), Johnson Charles (47 off 39) set up an early foundation. Holder and Powell followed it up with blazing cameos of 34 (15) and 29 (9) respectively to take the West Indies to a commanding score of 196-6. After having done their part with the bat, the West Indian bowlers failed to execute their plans as a bowling unit and leaked runs at an alarming rate to hand England yet another impressive victory. With a game to go, the West Indies would be looking to salvage some lost pride by earning a consolation win in the final T20I.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Rose Bowl is generally on the flatter side and conducive to batting, offering minimal assistance to bowlers. The surface is ideal for stroke play, and once batters get their eye in, huge scores can be achieved. The highest T20I score ever achieved at this venue is Australia's 248-6. However, the prevailing overhead conditions can tip the scales in the favor of the bowlers somewhat. While the surface lacks significant grass cover, bowlers can find some assistance under overcast conditions or with the use of the white ball. Due to the highly favorable nature of the pitch, batting second may not be such a bad ploy.

England's sublime form in the white-ball format continues as they go past the West Indies to clinch the three-match T20I series by 2-0 with a game to spare. In the high-octane run chase, the West Indies showed incredible determination with the bat and posted a towering score of 196 for the loss of six wickets. However, England outperformed them in the second half as a combined batting effort from them, including quickfire contributions from Jacob Bethell (26 off 10) and Tom Banton (30 off 11), saw the home side over the line in a blazing fashion with four wickets and nine balls to spare. 

West Indies Innings

The tourists got off to the worst possible start as Lewis succumbed cheaply first ball to a peach of a yorker bowled by Wood. But the skipper, Shai Hope, steadied the ship, and his arrival at the crease allowed West Indies to turn the tide. Although Charles was slow to race out of the blocks, the WI skipper went all guns blazing and punished the England bowlers ruthlessly to give WI an explosive finish in the powerplay. After a tentative start, Charles began accelerating gradually as the innings progressed. But just when Hope could switch through the gears, Adil Rashid got the better of him after the halfway stage, leaving him agonizing short of his fifty by a run.

There was a momentary break in the momentum during the middle overs as the English bowlers were able to maintain a squeeze. But Powell and Holder broke through the squeeze as the West Indies approached the fag end of the innings. A massive 20-run over against Dawson in the 17th over got the Men in Maroon up and running. Powell went on the offensive and smoked a quickfire 34(15). And subsequently, Holder and Shepherd went hard during the final two overs, especially targeting Rashid, and shared a total of five sixes between them to lift West Indies to a commanding first innings score of 196.

England Innings

The home side got off to a woobly start, losing Jamie Smith inside the second holder as he looked to take Holder downtown but failed miserably in that process. That early wicket triggered a sense of positivity for the visitors. But all their hopes were quashed when Buttler arrived. Duckett and Buttler took the fight to the WI bowlers and left them gasping for breath. Duckett made a powerful contribution of 30 (17) but was later removed by Shepherd during the 8th over.

Buttler, however, carried on, and he emerged as the leading run-scorer for England, finishing three runs shy of a fifty. The visitors struck almost immediately as Chase dismissed Brook a few deliveries later to throw the game wide open. But the faintest of chances for a potential Windies victory was lost when Bethell (26 off 10) and Banton (30 off 11) started taking the West Indian bowlers to the cleaners. An expensive over from Alzarri, where Bethell took three sixes off him, changed things around and got the equation back in England's favor.

England vs West Indies: Match Scorecard

West Indies – 196/6 (20 Overs)

England – 199/6 (18.3 Overs)

A fan in the gallery got what he exactly asked for—a six for his grandmother. Astonishingly, Jacob Bethell hit a massive six just after the gallery moment displayed on the screen. 

England was up against the West Indies in Bristol. The host team stepped onto the ground after winning the first match and in search of the second win of the 3-match T20I series. England, led by the newly assigned captain Harry Brook, successfully won the 2nd match in Bristol and the series as well. 

The West Indies, batting first, tried hard to take the target beyond the England batters' reach. In the 20-over limit, in the first innings, the visiting team posted 196 for 6 wickets, undoubtedly a fighting score on any pitch in a T20 match. Skipper Shai Hope bagged the highest run for West Indies in the match, 49 of 38, and Johnson Charles, with 47, was the second-best batter for the away team in the match. Luke Wood produced the best numbers for England with a ball and captured a couple of wickets as well.

A quick delivery into the stand 

Jamie Smith's early departure did not hamper England's successful run chase as they upheld a team game to bring down the solid-looking target. During the run chase, Jacob Bethell, batting at number 5, played an important and explosive innings to boost the run rate of his team. The young batter scored 26, facing only 10 balls, which achieved the strike rate of 260.00, powered by three 6s and one 4. 

One of the 6s hit by Bethell caught attention from cricket fans. 'Please hit a 6 for my grandma.' Before a delivery of Alzarii Joseph, a man from the gallery showed his request written on a cardboard. Interestingly, in the following ball, Bethell shamed Joseph for a humongous six!

England will face the West Indies in the second game of the three-match T20i series, hoping to win the series. England dominated the first game, defeating the visitors by 21 runs. They will try to capitalize on the momentum. The West Indies have to win this game to keep their hopes alive on what is turning out to be a difficult tour for them. England has an excellent batting lineup and a successful record against the West Indies. The players are well aware of the conditions at this venue and intend to take full advantage of them. The West Indies have won only one of their last nine games, and their players are struggling with form.

Wicketkeeper – Jos Buttler

ENG vs WI Probable Winners:

West Indies have lost all of their games on this tour. However, the team has a powerful batting lineup and hopes to win this crucial game. Their bowlers also have to perform under pressure. England is on a roll following its impressive victory in the previous game. They bat with firepower and bowl with variety. It gives them a narrow advantage in the game. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.

The second T20I of the three-match series is all set to be staged at the County Ground in Bristol, UK. England clinched a comfortable 21-run win on the back of some splendid performances from Jos Buttler (96 off 59) and Liam Dawson (4-20) to take an early 1-0 lead in the series. Harry Brook's white-ball captaincy appointment has brought about some immediate reforms to the England team. Under his leadership, England crushed the West Indies in a three-match ODI series by 3-0, bringing an end to an endless ODI series win drought. And now in the shortest format, England continue to dominate the tourists. 

There has not been much fortune for the Men in Maroon in this tour. After conceding the ODI series by 3-0, the visitors lost an early advantage of exerting their dominance on the hosts. Their bowling attack leaked a lot of runs in the crucial stages, and some of their prime batters failed to go big despite getting off to a positive start. The only two notable performances came from Romario Shepherd (16 off 12, 2/33) and Evin Lewis (39 off just 23). The West Indies have remained winless in their past five T20I and are desperately seeking an urgent turnaround to get back to winning ways.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the County Cricket Ground in Bristol generally suits the batters, especially in the limited-overs format. The surface has plenty of bounce and carry to offer, making stroke play a rewarding experience. However, these factors can be influenced by overhead conditions. Besides, the dry and abrasive nature of the pitch also keeps the spinners in the game. Ground statistics suggest that a score between the range of 165-70 is highly achievable while batting first.

England have kicked off the three-match T20I series on a winning note by thumping the West Indies by 21 runs in the first T20I played in Chester-le-Street. Jos Buttler's electrifying knock of 96 (59) set the tone for a big score as England posted 188 for the loss of six wickets. Liam Dawson starred with the ball in the second half, claiming figures of 4-20 to hand England a comfortable 21-run victory. 

England Innings

The home side copped an early blow as Romario Shepherd produced a gem of a delivery to dismiss the in-form Ben Duckett cheaply inside the second over. But England's recovery was swift as Jamie joined hands with Buttler and notched up a formidable 79-run stand for the second wicket to propel themselves to a commanding position. However, the former was dismissed by Shepherd on 38 during the last ball of the ninth over. Wickets kept tumbling around Buttler as Brook and Banton succumbed immediately after leaving England 116-4 by the 12th over. Nevertheless, Buttler was unfazed and he carried on his whirlwind knock to singhlehandedly counter the WI bowlers. Bethell played the second fiddle along with Buttler and added a run-a-ball 23. Buttler eventually fell short of his century and was dismissed by Joseph inside the 18th over, and England failed to cross the 200-run mark as a result of that wicket.

West Indies Innings

Coming in to chase a target of 189 runs, the West Indies received a solid beginning from their opening batsmen.  England struggled initially, but they put the squeeze on with their spinners through the middle overs. After Lewis (39 off 23) fell approximately at the midpoint, the West Indies experienced a significant breakdown during the middle overs, resulting in the loss of all their momentum in their pursuit of the target. The English spinners operated skillfully during the middle overs, most notably Liam Dawson, who bagged 4-20 to leave the explosive WI batting gasping for breath. They got wickets in clusters and pushed the West Indies on the back foot completely, and never allowed them to recover. Potts and Bethell also played their part, picking two wickets apiece, but erred on the higher side. At 130-8, it was all but over for the West Indies, but Shepherd and Holder mustered a few runs in the backend to drag the visitors to 167-9.

ENG vs WI Match Preview

The ODI series between England and the West Indies was fairly one-sided, with England pushing in only one of the three games, but the tourists will be hoping that some additions to their squad can help them compete in these three T20Is. Overall, the 'Men in Maroon' have had a disappointing tour of Ireland and England, winning just one and losing four of their six scheduled games. After finishing the ODIs in the bustling streets of London, the players were caught up in traffic on their way to the ground, and the start was delayed.
