1. England’s nervy start against spin
To post any kind of a challenge to the marauding West Indian batsmen, England needed to put up an above par total in the final, for which, a good opening stand was quintessential.
However, Samuel Badree, arguably West Indies’ No. 1 new-ball bowler in T20 cricket made sure that the English openers were nipped in the bud before they could flourish.
He dismissed Jason Roy, the half-centurion from the semi-final, off the 2nd ball of the match, and then topped it up by getting the English captain Eoin Morgan caught at slips.
Alex Hales too could not perform in the all-important final and was caught at short fine-leg in the 2nd over of the innings off the bowling of Andre Russell.
