ENG vs WI Highlights, T20 World Cup 2026: Spinners take West Indies to 30-run win, Curran remains stranded

England Live Score- 166/10 after 19 overs

The winning skipper from today's match, Shai Hope, speaking in the post match presentation ceremony said, "I'm just happy that the guys got off the line. We've been playing some good cricket patches. Nice to see we've got more of a complete game today. And as you say, two games up, which is where we want to be in the table."

England Live Score- 166/10 after 19 overs

Player of the match, Sherfane Rutherford, speaking in the post match interview said, "First of all, I want to thank God for this opportunity, you know, playing in the biggest stage. My finger is good, and hopefully I’ll be fit for the next game. (on the challenges England posed with the ball) I think one of the biggest challenges was Adil Rashid. In our meetings, we knew he was going to be the toughest bowler for us. So for me, it was important to try and keep him out of the game, keep rotating the strike, build a partnership, and back ourselves to make up for it at the end. (on the surface) Yeah, definitely."

"I’ve been putting in a lot of work coming into the World Cup. For me, once I trust my process and read the situation, I know that once I’m in, I can always score at the end. So it was important to have a clear mind and play more in time. (confident with the score?) I think we were probably about 10 runs short. With England batting, we know how powerful they are. But I think the guys really stood up tonight and bowled well, so credit to them. This result means a lot for us. (Guyanese helping win games) Yeah, it’s good for our country. We’ve been coming into the spotlight, but cricket is a team sport. Moving forward, hopefully other guys can put their hands up and, as a collective unit, we can continue to get better. (two from two, a lot of confidence in the team) Yeah, definitely. On this big stage, momentum is very important. We want to keep building on it, add 10 percent to our game each time, and hopefully keep getting better," he added.

Curran hits a four and takes a single off the second last ball, giving one ball to Rashid and what do we have here?

Adil Rashid has hit one in the air and Roston Chase claims to have taken it. If he has, the game is over even before entering the last over.

England Live Score- 160/8 after 18 overs

Three balls and just two runs so far from the over.

And a single would mean just three from the over so far.

Last two balls remain with Curran on strike.

Just errs a little on the yorker, maybe a few inches and Curran punishes him with a six. England still in the hunt.

Curran takes a single and keeps strike.

England Live Score- 150/7 after 17 overs

That is one heck of an over of death bowling. Shamar Joseph nail six Yorkers in the over. Yes, six overs, that is huge.

One of the went for four. But what it has done is, it has forced England to score at nearly 16 an over in last three to chase it down. 150 has come up for them and they need 47 off 18 to win.

England Live Score- 135/6 after 15 overs

Jamie Overton is the new man in and he cannot get off strike either.

Gets off strike now. And the other Windies spinner, Chase has finished his spell as well. Goes for 29 to pick two, brilliant bowling.

England Live Score- 131/5 after 14 overs

Will Jacks survived the last ball as Motie finishes his spell with figures of 4/33.

England Live Score- 123/4 after 13 overs

Roston Chase comes into the attack for his third over and has gone for two off the first two balls before bowling a wide.

That one could have been called a wide too. But not to be as Brooks plays it.

Now Chase goes down the leg and it is given as wide and England run two as well.

Without any boundary in the over so far, England have got eight from the first four balls.

Single off the fifth one as well.

Four!! Eventually the boundary comes as Curran pulls one for a four. 13 from the over.

England Live Score- 99/4 after 11 overs

Just six runs from the over despite a four off the first ball. 100 comes up for England here. Wait, they are one short still.

Motie is in the middle again and he has cleaned up Jacob Bethell here. Was it the wrong un from Motie. Not exactly, but it was definitely skittling on with the arm, instead of coming into Bethell who was on the backfoot, trying to play a defensive shot on the ball.

England Live Score- 85/3 after 8 overs

Gudakesh Motie is into the attack and he has been hammered for a six by Jacob Bethell.

Wicket!! Turning away from Banton, he tries to hit with the turn inside out, but does not manage to get the elevation on it, getting caught at short cover by Brandon King.

England Live Score- 67/1 after 6 overs

It's the quick man Shamar Joseph is into the attack and starts off with a single.

Yorker length from Shamar and Buttler plays it straight for a single.

My word, even a 140kmph ball from Joseph is coming into the batter so quick that a thick outsid edge flew to the thirdman fielder who took it on one bounce.

Now Buttler takes a double here.

Four!! And Buttler ends the powerplay with a four as 9 runs come off the over.

England Live Score- 44/1 after 4 overs

After the wicket, there is misfield that allows Jacob Bethell get off the mark here.

Sharp bowling from Shepherd here as he is not bowling the fuller or shorter balls, he is keeping the new ball in the good length area.

Four!! Finally Bethell gets one away through the off-side and gets a four to his name.

England Live Score- 37/0 after 3 overs

Decent over from the viewpoint of West Indies as Akeal Hosein goes for only six runs in his second over.

England Live Score- 7/0 after 1 over

The first over of the chase is here and straightway it is a spinner has started it.

Akeal Hosein into the attack and he goes for just seven runs despite being hit for a four first ball.
