betvisa888 cricket betT20 World Cup: A hapless West Indies surrender against England in Dubai – Twitter Reactions

A thumping win for England as they have started their T20 World Cup campaign in this year’s edition with a six-wicket victory over the defending champions West Indies, although the๊ game was nowhere near to a repeat of the 2016 finale. The Men in Maroon did pick four ꦐwickets, three inside the powerplay, but the total of 55 was always chaseable for a team like England.

The English bowlers were persistent with their line and length and were rew✅arded as West Indies managed their second lowest T20 total after 45 which they made against the same opponents in 2019.

It w🏅as also the third lowest total in T20 World Cup behind 39 and 44 (both by Netherlands).

“There’s not a lot to explain – it was an unacceptable performance, but we do need to take this on the chin and move on. It’s a matter of finding our straps, we have to find a way to get a fighting total on the board, today was a day where we couldn’t find that balance, but we need to forget this and move on. This is an international sport, such days happen, but we need to find a solution,” said the losing captain Kieron Pollard.

“We have played a lot of T20 cricket around the world, this is something we have all experienced, you’ll have to accept such days. Each game is important, we still have four games in the tournament and we’ll have to look forward,” he added.

Like India had to do, and did so well, after the 36 all out, the West Indies need to for🍌get this happened and remind themselves of their pedigree. T

For all the superstars in the si𝔍de, ’s inevitable comeback in this tournament will be led by the younger likes of Obed McCoy and Akeal Hosein with the ball, like we’ve seen tonight. You just know there will be ༺bigger totals for them to defend later in this

Decent win for England to kick their tournament off then. It’s always impoꦫrta♏nt to get off to a good start but even more so given how difficult this group is. Bangladesh next up on Wednesday
