West Indies Triumphs in First T20 Against England

Andre Russell shines in comeback, leading West Indies to record run-chase victory.

West Indies won the first T20 match against England by four wickets, marking their highest run-chase in T20s in Barbados.
Andre Russell, making his first West Indies appearance since November 2021, was the standout performer, taking 3-19 and contributing a rapid 29 off 14 balls.
England, despite a solid start with a 77-run partnership for the opening wicket, collapsed in the latter half of their innings, ultimately being bowled out for 171 within 19.3 overs.
West Indies captain Rovman Powell and Russell formed an unbeaten 49-run partnership for the seventh wicket, leading to their victory.
The teams now head to Grenada for the second T20 on Thursday, with West Indies 1-0 up in the five-match series.
