Chasing 264 runs for victory, the West Indies reached the target with 42 balls remaining, scoring 267-2. Earlier, electing to field, the West Indies bowlers reaped early rewards, reducing the English to 24-4 in the 10th over. Sam Curran and Phil Salt set about repairing the early damage, with a 70 run fifth wicket partnership. Another 70 run partnership between Salt and Dan Mousley, added some respectability to the score, before Salt was dismissed for a top score of 74.
