WI vs ENG: Rovman Powell, Nicholas Pooran shine as West Indies defeat England in third T20I;
WI vs ENG: Rovman Powell and Nicholas Pooran’s dominant performance with the bat was backed up by a solid bowling performance as West Indies defeated England by 20 runs in the third T20I of the five-match series at the Kensington Oval.
Chasing 225, England kept on losing wickets at regular intervals and it was only just Tom Banton and Philip Salt who showed some fight and resistance with the bat. Banton scored 73 while Salt played a 57-run knock, but in the end, it was not enough as Windies registered a 20-run win.
With this win, the hosts have gained a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. The fourth T20I will be played on Saturday.
