England leg-spinner Adil Rashid got hit for five sixes in a single over during the second T20I against West Indies on Sunday, June 8. The County Ground in Bristol played host to the encounter. The visiting team batted first in the game after losing the toss.

"Rashid bowled really well in the middle overs"- England captain Harry Brook after win vs West Indies in 2nd T20I 2025

At the post-match presentation, English skipper Harry Brook expressed satisfaction after a collective performance from his team. Reflecting on the victory, he said:

"Great start in the T20s from the boys. Yeah they had a very good finish. We stuck to our plans very well in the middle overs. When we came out to bat we knew it was a matter of two big overs. We have got a lot of depth, we also felt they were 30 runs under par with Will Jacks and Bethell coming late.

"Gives us great confidence going into a small ground like this with four spinners and two pacers. Wood set the tone for us with a wicket first ball. Rashid bowled really well in the middle overs before getting away in his last. Really excited for the last match," Brook added.

The hosts took an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match T20I series after the win on Sunday. The Rose Bowl in Southampton will host the third T20I on Tuesday, June 10.
