England began the T20i series of three games with a decisive 21 -run victory after winning the Odi series easily. On a slow surface, the excellent 96 of 59 balls of Jos Buttler established England for an 188/6 above the torque, but the 4-20 of Liam Dawson, which was characterized by intelligent speed changes and the use of useful conditions, crossed the Western Indies.
On a sad afternoon in Chester-Le-Street, Durham, England won the raffle and chose to hit. Jamie Smith enters with a spectacular straight trip, continuing beating at the top of the order while Phil Salt was out with paternity license. At the opening, Smith touched his arm and picked up two more limits on a surface that both sides Sonon found that it was quite slow. After hitting an air attack on the air, Ben Duckett (1 of 4) was caught, making him the first victim of the slow wickt.
Smith and Buttler, who were transferred to number three, touched their time adjusting to the rhythm of the Wickt before exploding in the fifth butt of Russell, which sacrificed the accelerated rhythm costing them 22 races due to an error of length. After the power game, the English couple reached the next, which was launched by Joseph, during 23 races, which takes its total to 78/1.
After learning from their mistakes, the Bowling players of the Western Indies touched the speed greatly and threw it into the Wickt for the ticket reminder. Harry Brook (5 of 5), Jamie Smith (38 of 20) and Tom Banton (3 of 4), who was given an opportunity in the average order, were among the three rapid wicks that followed.
Buttler’s bold Strokeplay kept the score in motion while Bethell’s time (23 of 23) was largely poor. Unfortunately, the former captain was caught LBW in 19, which means that he could not reach a second century T20I. Jacks sold out in the last installment when England ended with 188/6, with a single limit in 20.
The Western Indies had a strong beginning and punished everything that was loose and rhythm. But if it was a rhythm, it was another matter. With a beautiful series of rhythm changes, Dawson touches his first Wickt, Charles (18 of 15). Evin Lewis (39 out of 23) and Roston Chase (24 of 20), who started with a movie around Midwickt for six, kept the Western Indies that Shai Hope (3 of 7) left early.
Lewis slipped out of the last installment, giving Bethell the last laugh despite being taken by 24 after playing the tenth. The Western Indies were still in persecution, if not ahead, at 91/3 at the midpoint, but the double blow of Liam Dawson in the twelfth forced them to change their strategy.
The following batters failed to score more than 20, since the English spinners dominated the second half. For when a clumsy 20 of Pottts was for 15 races, all Shepherd was eliminated, the game was already lost.
Letter scores: England 188/6 in 20 overs (Buttler 96, Jamie Smith 38; Shepherd 2-33) beat the Western Indies 167/9 in 20 overs (Lewis 39, Chase 24; Dawson 4-20, Bethell 2-27) for 21 races.
