ENG vs WI T20 World Cup 2024 Highlights: England thump West Indies by eight wickets courtesy Salt and Bairstow

England have defeated West Indies by eight wickets chasing down 181 runs without breaking a sweat. What a performance from the defending champions!!! Salt was dropped twice and he made West Indies pay while Bairstow played a chanceless innings to blow the hosts away!!!

30 runs off the 16th over and that has virtually ended the contest in this game. Amazing from Salt and mindless bowling from Shepherd

This is just a formality left for England. 20 runs so far in four balls and only 20 runs needed off 26 balls. Salt has changed the gear smashing Shepherd

Salt steps up at perfect time. He has reached his fifty!!

England are absolute favourites now after Bairstow's assault. They only need 40 runs off the last five overs!! Bairstow has turned the game on its head and he is on 46 off 21 balls.

With no wickets falling and a good 14th over, England are the favourites!!! They desperately need a wicket now or England can run away with this game.

England are going steady at the moment and they need 70 runs to win in seven overs. West Indies will have to pick wickets soon now. Can Joseph strike?

Out of all bowlers, Roston Chase has managed to keep a lid on the run-scoring. He has bowled sueprbly so far conceding 19 runs in his three overs and getting the prized scalp of Buttler. His last over will be crucial as well. Meanwhile, for England, they would need Salt to play through the innings and if he does, they will win this game. 79 runs to win off last 8 overs

GONE!!! Andre Russell strikes and Moeen Ali is holed out at deep mid-wicket. The left-hander could've been dangerous but he is gone now and England still need 97 runs runs to win off 59 balls.

This match is interestingly poised now thanks to Buttler's wicket and Roston Chase has bowled his two overs well now. But Phil Salt is the key and his wicket can turn things in West Indies' favour. England are 83/1 after 10 overs and neeed 96 more runs to win the game. Can West Indies restrict them or England will add two points to their tally? Anybody's game this at the moment!!!

What an over from Archer and what a wicket to round off the over!! Archer conceded four runs in the over with Pooran on strike. Delivered 4 dot balls and struck on the final ball of the over!! West Indies are 141/3 after 16 overs

The move has worked a bit late for England as the gamble to give Liam Livingstone has worked 20 runs later. Powell smashed him for three sixes in the over before getting out. 137/2 after 15 overs are West Indies.

West Indies are 117/1 after 14 overs. How many runs can they add in last six overs. England, without taking wickets, have bowled well to keep a check on the run-scoring. West Indies are definitely not scoring 200 from here....

West Indies have reached 100!! They are 102/1 after 12 overs

West Indies skipper is here to bat. Can he get going from the word go?

West Indies haven't lost a wicket but they England have tied them up nicely especially in the last few overs. West Indies are 82/0 after 10 overs. How many can they add in the second half of the innings? How many are England comfortable chasing?

A blow for West Indies as King has walked off due to injury!! Nicholas Pooran comes in now! Carnage on the cards
