England vs West Indies World Cup Head to Head Stats

The only two teams to win the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup twice, England and the West Indies, have faced each other six times in the global showpiece event, with the Men in Maroon comprehensively owning the ledger 5-1.

The first three meetings between the old rivals came during the 2009, 2010, and 2012 event, where the West Indies completed a hat-trick of victories by five wickets, eight wickets, and 15 runs.

Their most memorable encounters were played out during the 2016 event, which was staged in India. The two sides met in a Super-10 match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where a breathtaking 47-ball ton from Christopher Henry Gayle helped the two-time champions overhaul England’s total of 182 with ease.

Their next meeting proved to be an immortal one. It took place in the final of the 2016 T20 World Cup, where a mature knock from Marlon Samuels (85* off 66) and final over madness from Carlos Brathewaite, who smashed four consecutive sixes off Benjamin Stokes, helped the men from the Caribbean to claim their second world title in front of 90,000+ fans at the iconic Eden Gardens.

Five years later, both sides met again at a T20 World Cup stage, but this time, the match proved to be anti-climax as an ageing Windies batting line-up capitulated to 55 all-out, thanks to a four-for from Adil Rashid. England went to chase down the target and claim their maiden victory over the 2012 and 2016 champions after six attempts.
