The third T20I match between West Indies (WI) and England (ENG) is set to take place on Saturday, December 16, at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada. Notably, the hosts have already gained a 2-0 lead, by winning the first two games of the five-match series.
Speaking of the second T20I which was held at St George's in Grenada, England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to field first. The Windies got off to a flying start with Brandon King and Kyle Mayers adding 43 runs in 5.4 overs before the latter was dismissed for just 17 runs. King continued his power hitting and scored an unbeaten 82 off just 52 deliveries and helped his side post a competitive score of 176 runs. Captain Rovman Powell also contributed significantly, scoring 50 off a mere 28 balls batting down the order. For England, Adil Rashid and Tymal Mills finished with figures of 2/11 and 2/30, respectively.
During the run chase, England did not have the best of starts, however, the No. 4 batter Sam Curran scored a half-century to provide his side a sigh of hope. However, Alzarri Joseph claimed a three-wicket haul as West Indies restricted England to 166 to clinch victory by 10 runs. The Caribbean team will now eye for another win in the forthcoming game to clinch the series.
Andre Russell picked up three wickets in the first match before registering his worst T20I figures of 4-0-66-0 in the second game. The all-rounder will be desperate to make amends as West Indies look to take an invincible 3-0 lead.
