England's captain Jos Buttler scored a brilliant 83, leading his team to a decisive seven-wicket win against West Indies in Barbados. Despite a strong finish from the hosts, Buttler's performance, alongside contributions from Will Jacks and Liam Livingstone, secured England's 2-0 series lead.
In a display of batting brilliance, England's captain Jos Buttler steered his team to a commanding seven-wicket victory over West Indies in the second T20 International held in Barbados. Buttler smashed an impressive 83 off 45 balls, a performance that was instrumental in England taking a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
West Indies initially put up a defendable total, thanks to crucial lower-order runs, finishing at 158. However, Buttler's aggressive knock alongside opener Will Jacks anchored the innings. Despite losing Phil Salt for a golden duck, the duo stabilized the innings with a 128-run partnership.
The match concluded with Liam Livingstone sealing the win with a six. England wrapped up the game with five overs to spare, setting the stage to clinch the series in Saint Lucia. West Indies' skipper Rovman Powell emphasized the need for top-order batsmen to occupy the crease in forthcoming matches.
