Matchday 1
Windies were sent home reeling as England bowlers took control with both bat and ball. Jos Buttler and Joe Root both scored centuries as Windies struggled to keep up with England’s mammoth total; Adil Rashid added some gloss at the end for his side’s second biggest run win ever in terms of runs scored.
England have started their reign under Harry Brook with a bang! They dispatched of an underwhelming Windies side with ease and recorded an emphatic 238-run win to take a giant step towards a series whitewash.
England were in control throughout with spinners Ravindra Jadeja (3/37) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/45) producing some outstanding bowling that caused top-order collapse.
Romario Shepherd and Shai Hope led by example in providing a strong performance from their batsmen – they paced the chase well, looked fluid in action and gave credit to whatever Harry Brook is doing behind closed doors in terms of preparation.
But that wasn’t enough to save the game as Mahmood continued his superb bowling performance by taking another wicket – Hope from an injudicious pull – with another excellent over from Mahmood and impressive fielding from England visitors;
Carty caught mid-off, 18 year-old Jewel Andrew made her first ODI catch and then on the final ball Brook claimed five catch for himself and would surely go down as one of his best performances!
Matchday 2
The West Indies cricket team represents all countries and territories of the Caribbean Federation. Established by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) in 1926 and granted Test-playing status in 1928, their success can be traced to Worrell Weekes as captain through to Garfield Sobers and Clive Lloyd dominating their respective dynasties; also making history by winning both world Cups right out of the gate! Additionally, pioneering ODI play with two world Cup victories is something these Windies excelled at!
Kraigg Brathwaite won the toss and elected to bowl, despite sunny conditions suggesting otherwise. England’s openers started slowly with Joe Root being reprieved twice and Ben Duckett edged to third slip where Jason Holder held an excellent catch from Jason Holder – yet quickly recovered with Pope and Jacks sharing an unbroken second-wicket partnership of 105 runs in 19 overs.
Rory Burns edged an excellent delivery from Alzarri Joseph into second slip and Alick Athanaze was unable to hold onto it at backward point – both players being dismissed soon thereafter for first-class bests of 83 and Root making his sixth century in 45 tests respectively. England’s innings also declined after lunch break as Jacks fell for 83 while Root departed shortly afterwards with another six hundred score under his belt.
Root’s stunning innings saw him hit 13 fours and six sixes for a score that made history as the second-highest score by an England number three batsman in this format – second only to captain Alex Ferguson himself!
At its conclusion, Root received a standing ovation from fans as well as an embrace from Will Jacks – making this day memorable and cementing Root as one of its greatest players ever seen on an ODI pitch.
Final
Even without Lara, West Indians remained firm favorites, but due to some poor performances – including an innings defeat in Test 2, England managed to take control and win both series and Wisden Trophy after 31-year waits.
The final of the four-match series proved another high-scoring affair, with both teams scoring over 400 runs each innings. England’s bowlers struggled to contain West Indies batsmen with only Andy Caddick and Michael Vaughan taking more than three wickets from England’s side.
Jofra Archer and Sam Curran both made their ODI debuts, yet England were powerless to stop West Indies reaching an impressive total of 197-6 at Wankhede Stadium. Sherfane Rutherford made an outstanding 74 off 48 balls while Jason Holder claimed 3-59 to help deliver home victory in this series.
Early on, batsmen had struggled to break through a disciplined Windies attack. Jos Buttler’s miscue off Chase to long-on caused an explosion of runs for Jos Buttler; with two wickets from successive overs being taken by Darren Bravo soon afterwards, it seemed as if the game might spiral out of control.
Although victory was achieved, its accomplishment was not without controversy. Former England captain Michael Vaughan voiced criticisms against the International Cricket Council (ICC). West Indies team was allowed to leave India prior to their semifinal defeat by New Zealand while England had to wait until after their match before leaving India – leading many fans into confusion regarding why only some teams could leave before leaving before others did. This has caused great dissatisfaction among fans as many are left wondering why some teams could leave while others stayed behind.
