WI vs ENG Live Updates, T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8: Jos Buttler departs, but England commands 181 chase

07:53:

West Indies manage to reach 180 thanks to Sherfane Rutherford’s quick cameo in the backend, who could play a crucial role in the game. Quite a performance for England’s bowlers as they managed to keep their opponents below 200. Johnson Charles and Brandon King played it safe early and just got a feel for the field. But they didn’t let the scoring rate stagnate and found the ropes whenever they could. King had a few nervous and tense moments, but managed to hang around before retiring hurt. It was a solid Powerplay for the Windies, with no wickets and the score hovering around 9-10 per over. Nicholas Pooran continued his great form and complemented Charles’ patient approach with some aggressive strokeplay. The Windies continued until Charles fell in 12th when he tried to accelerate. In came Powell, who went berserk and smashed 36 off just 17 balls before being killed off. Andre Russell couldn’t do much damage, and then Pooran too followed soon after and the Windies lost 3 wickets for just 6 runs, putting a dent in their scoring rate. Sherfane Rutherford played a crucial cameo in the backend and helped West Indies post a competitive total on the board.
