Bridgetown (Barbados): England beat the Order-Order rally by Romario Shepherd and Hosein’s reason to defeat West Indies with just one round in the second international twenty20 in Bridgetown on Sunday.
West Indies appeared and came out when they needed 61 runs from the last three overs to reach the 172 target, with only two wickets that stand.
But from 111 for eight people, Shepherd and Hosein, both of them made 44 not come out at an unbroken 72 stands, almost referring to the British victory that flattened the five-match series at 1-1.
Chris Jordan and Saqib Mahmood repeatedly regarding the boundaries, although Reece Topley remembered only conceded eight runs on the 19th of West Indies, which has slumped to 65 for seven years, needed 30 to win the last, held by Mahmood.

“I can see confidence with people in the dressing room,” he said.
“We will have days like this, but my thing is a battle that continues to be shown to people.” England was elevated only 103 on Saturday when West Indies advanced to a ninth goal.
But it is a different story when the team returned to Kensington Oval per day later, with England making 171 for eight opener 45.
