England vs West Indies Highlights, T20 World Cup: WI spinners decimate ENG batting, seal comprehensive 30-run victory

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Buttler finishes the powerplay off with a four through covers against Shamar Joseph.

130 needed off 14 overs now – this is the phase where West Indies will need to turn the screws. But Buttler and Bethell looking comfortable.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: England well ahead of the rate at the moment. Bethell with three boundaries in the over against Hosein, who has now bowled three of his spell.

Wickets crucial from here with England looking capable of scoring very quickly.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: That's a big wicket! Salt was taking away control of the match, but Shepherd comes on and strikes. Hard into the surface, and Salt was advancing – cramps himself for room and it's an awkward sliced swing. Easy catch at mid-off as it loops over.

30(14). You could argue he played his role.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Wow, he's seeing it like a football. Two sixes and three fours in that over and it's already 31/0, two overs in. Phil Salt running away with it.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: This is what he can do, take the match away very very quickly. Never afraid to attack and takes on Jason Holder. West Indies will already start being concerned.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Back very quickly from the break, and Phil Salt takes no time to get going against the spin of Akeal Hosein. Expects the arm ball and it's a nice easy swing of the bat over the off-side for four. Jos Buttler the other opener with him.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Bang! What a shot to finish off an excellent innings – he finishes on 76* off 42 deliveries, including 7 sixes. Has rescued this innings and made it into a strong score.

England's death bowling simply not clicking yet, and now it's a tough chase ahead of them – but they might fancy themselves here. Back soon.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Holder hammers one long over mid-on for six, but can't quite connect on the next one.

189/6 with Shepherd in and two balls to play.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Archer hasn't had a night to remember. Met by Rutherford again for a six, and Windies are now 182/5 with the last over to come. 1/48 from Archer today.

Overton with the last over…

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Rutherford survives! Goes for the big hit but it's a massive top edge – but it is going into an area where only Rashid himself can get to it, but he never quite gets settled underneath it! It's a tough chance, but Rutherford survives.

Excellent spell from Rashid – 2/16 off his 4. 167/5 with two overs to play.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Incredible power on show from Jason Holder! Interesting decision to send him ahead of Shepherd, but paying off. First an incredible check-drive over the off-side for six, then two flat batted monster hits down the ground – pure power, smoked for a 20-run over.

162/5. Adil Rashid for his last over next.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: It has been a great innings from Rutherford – calculated risks, but still scoring at a good rate. Gets a short one from Overton which he helps along, and it goes deep into the crowd for six.

It's 142/5 after 16 – 190 will be what Windies want now.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Huge wicket again, Adil Rashid has bounced back supremely well! Brook goes back to him to get a wicket, and it's exactly what he does. Tossed up full, brave and inviting him for the big straight drive, and Powell doesn't get enough. High into the air, and Overton completes the catch.

5 down now. Holder in next.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: The decision to try and squeeze in a couple of overs before returning to Adil Rashid hasn't paid off as the Windies regain momentum and bring themselves back into this. But Rashid back now – two overs to spare for him, and he needs to spark a wicket.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Just the momentum boost Powell and Rutherford needed to bring Windies back into this contest. Some counter-pressure, first against Jacks, and then Jofra Archer on his return.

17 run over off Archer, and it's suddenly 114/4 after 13.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: Jacks comes back on after going for 19 in his first, but Rutherford knows that this is a better bowler to try and be aggressive against to get his innings going.

Bang, bang, and two sixes very quickly – Windies needed this injection of big hitting to get the runs going again.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score: England have their fourth, and it's a moment of magic from Adil Rashid to thank! Wow, that has exploded with turn off the pitch. Chase doesn't read it at all, and is hit on the pads right in front of the stumps.

Easy decision, and England now on top at 77/4!

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Windies need a big partnership here, but also some quick runs to keep the momentum going. Par in Mumbai will always sit around 180, but the Windies might want more.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: HUGE WICKET! Overton comes in and the choice to bring him into the team pays off. A cutter dug into the pitch, and Hetmyer not in control as he tries to pull it. High into the air, the short fine leg fielder settles underneath it, and takes it well!

Windies needed him to come good with a big one – he looked good, but doesn't last long. 23(12) for him.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Spin introduced early by England via Will Jacks, but it doesn't pay off!

Roston Chase starts with a hat-trick of fours – over cover, sweeping fine, and chipping a full toss down the ground.

Last ball of the over, Jacks slides it too legside-ish, and Hetmyer doesn't need an invitation. Down on one knee, hammers it miles over square leg. Great over!

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Bang! Curran goes for his moon-ball slower one, but Hetmyer knows what to expect. Pulls out the sweep well in front of square, and it flies well back into the Wankhede crowd.

Next ball, Curran drifts down leg, and Hetmyer steers it into the vacant fine leg region for four.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Roston Chase boosted up the order as a safeguard for the more destructive middle order bats.

Archer's second over starts with Hetmyer carving him over the off-side – he is absolutely key now, needs to stick in.

Chase gets one which he can lean into and drive through the covers a couple of balls later – great shot to get moving.

19/2 after 3.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: TROUBLE FOR THE WINDIES! King gets width from CUrran and flashes at it – but manages to find the man out on the cover boundary! It's another soft wicket, poor shot with the fielder out there, and West Indies are suddenly 8/2!

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: BIG WICKET EARLY! Archer tightens it up, and Hope is loose as he tries to punch through the offside. Uppish, soft, straight to point for an easy grab – that's a poor stroke from the captain, and Windies one down early.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Archer not finding his range yet. Short and wide and with the swing it keeps going higher and wider – flies over the head of Overton at first slip.

Already three wides in the over for Archer.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Here we go then! Should be an absolute corker of a match. Jofra Archer needs to have a good day – here he is first up.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Just a single change for Windies as well, going spin heavy into this one with Roston Chase slotting in as another all-rounder.

Brandon King, Shai Hope (c&wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Just the one change for England with Overton coming in for Luke Wood, offering an extra batter in the lineup.

ENG XI: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (wk), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Harry Brook (c), Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Liam Dawson, Adil Rashid

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: New from the middle! Harry Brook wins the toss and puts Shai Hope's team in to bat first. Chasing, states the numbers dictate this decision.

A change apiece for both the teams.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: 5 mins from the toss. We should be getting word from the Wankhede very soon – dew will always play a role, so the spinners that the teams opt to use will be interesting to see.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: England's white ball teams have been handed over to their leader of the next generation. While Harry Brook's talent speaks for itself, his criticisms in the red ball game illustrate a player who is not quite yet the finished product. He has been an international for a few years now, but the England captaincy is not an easy hat to wear – but in his first ICC tournament, these are all trials by fire. How he fares could be decisive, in the field and with the bat.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: The Windies are also a team which is built to hit sixes – that being the state of the modern T20 game, and the team have bought into it. Shimron Hetmyer is batting as high as three, and is followed by Powell, Rutherford, and Shepherd – players who knock what it takes to hit monstrous sixes in the second half of any innings. The potential is so high with this team if their players click, and makes for arguably the most dangerous batting unit in this tournament – certainly in terms of power.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Teams will be preparing to warm up and put in the last yards now in Mumbai. This has historically been a good chasing ground, which might make this decision at the toss a straightforward one. Both teams batted first in their respective tournament openers, so it should make for an interesting decision at the toss.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: The quality that England possess in their batting is enough to keep them competitive with anybody else, especially at grounds like the Wankhede where they can expect to play the high-octane style that many in the lineup enjoy playing. However, there is no true ace in the bowling department at the minute – Jofra Archer is supposed to be that kind of bowler, but his tendency to leak runs in the powerplay on off-days means that he isn't as reliable as England would like him to be.

Adil Rashid will always be a key player for England in matches like this, and he will have some absolutely crucial matchups to deal with.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: In Group C, Windies' NRR places them over Scotland, who have one win and one loss. England's narrow win leaves them behind the Scots. If Windies get over the line today, it makes the England vs Scotland match around the corner a very, very interesting proposition.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: England's own win was not close to as emphatic. Despite half-centuries for Jacob Bethell and Harry Brook plus a late blitz by Will Jacks putting England in a strong position after the first innings, the bowling simply didn't have enough to offer – it needed Sam Curran in the very last over to nail yorkers and show his death bowling wiles to come away without an embarrassing early loss.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: In their tournament opener, West Indies played a confident, no-frills game, guided by the power of Shimron Hetmyer. Moved up the order compared to his franchise batting positions, Hetmyer proved that he can be the one to guide this Windies team by plundering 64 off 36 – and that was enough to take the team to 182. In the second innings, they bowled out the Scots for 147, never looking in too much danger and starting off well.

England vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: You join us just about an hour after an exhilarating double super over fiesta between South Africa and Afghanistan, and as Australia work their first innings against Ireland in Colombo. But our focus here will be to build up to the evening game in Mumbai, where two super-powerful teams lock horns in Group C – England and West Indies, in search for a statement win each.
