England beat West -India with 21 runs in the T20 series Opener | Mint

Chester-Le-Street, England (AP) England continued its control of the West Indies by winning their Twenty20 series opener by 21 runs on Friday. After dominating the West Indies in three one-day international players, England is expected to get a stricter battle from the visitor, higher in T20s than ODIs, and strengthened by World Cup champions Andre Russell, Jason Holder and Johnson Charles. But the West Indies do not have the T20 bowler Akeeal Hosein, the world no. 2, who, along with the batter of Joud Goolie, could not travel to England due to the recent changes to the British visa access requirements for Trinidad and Tobago citizens. Hosein is very missed at a pitch that fits. The match winner was left arm spinner Liam Dawson, who was recalled by England after almost three years at the age of 35. He took six wickets in 11 T20s of 2016-22, but yielded a best 4-20 in four overs. Dawson took out Charles, Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase and Rovman Powell, four of the top six fighters. He and the co-spinner Adil Rashid, 1-22, helped to stifle a deep West Indies to 167-9 in a 189 chase. Buttler worked the field so well that he scored his second T20 hundred in his 135th game. But he went over as he faced Alzarri Joseph and was beaten in 19th place for Tempo and LBW. He hit six boundaries and four sixes. “I am very happy to get this series up and running with a win,” Brook said. ‘It is amazing to work Dawson and Rashid from both sides and work the way they have done so many years, and that wealth of experience. Jos Buttler is incredible. Having him in this T20 team bat in the top three is an honor. ” England ended at 188-6, laid back through the West Indies after the host bolted out of the gates to 78-1 in the PowerPlay. West -Indian Spinner Gudakesh Motie did a lot in England, with his four overs who only conceded 21 runs, 15 of them to Buttler. But Motie just chased as spin support, and Buttler devoured the Pacers. “Many teams like to turn to the West Indies,” said Captain Shai Hope, India. “We need to get better than a batting unit. We have so much depth. We are so powerful, so destructive. We have to put it behind us and we have two games to win the series. ‘ The second of three T20s is in Bristol on Sunday. ___
