ENG vs WI 1st T20I: Buttler, Dawson star as England start new era with win
Jos Buttler and Liam Dawson were the stars of the show as England start their new era in T20Is under Harry Brook with a win against the West Indies on Friday, June 6. Buttler got his highest score on home soil with a calculated and destructive innings of 96 from 59 balls, while the returning Dawson was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up figures of 4 for 20 in his four overs as England won the match by 21 runs. advertisementButtler, who was returning to the T20I squad after relinquishing captaincy, did most of the heavy-lifting for England and scored more than half of their runs as the hosts posted 188 runs in the first innings. Jamie Smith and Jacob Bethell were the only other English batters who got into double figures on the day. England had made a great start as they raced to 78 for 1 at the end of powerplay. ENG vs WI 1st T20I: Highlights | Scorecard However, the Chester-le-Street surface soon became more receptive to spin bowling. Buttler, who got to his fifty in just 24 balls, had to be patient and the remaining runs in 34 balls as the support from the other end wasn't strong enough with wickets tumbling at regular intervals. advertisementWest Indies didn't make a great start to their run chase as Dawson struck early to remove Johnson Charles before Matthew Poots, who was making his T20I debut, removed Shai Hope with his second delivery. Evin Lewis threatened for sometime as he took apart Jacob Bethell for 24 runs in an over, however, his wicket off the last ball sort of ended the run-chase for the visitors. Dawson then removed Roston Chase and Sherfane Rutherford in quick succession to seal the contest and help England take a 1-0 lead. Dawson, who had been overlooked for a bit in the England setup, had gone on to make a name for himself in franchise cricket and broke the back of the chase with a sensational spell. With 98 needed off the final 10 overs, Adil Rashid delivered a tight spell, that put the pressure on the visitors. This opened the door for Dawson, who ensured Chase and Rutherford were caught in the deep and Rovman Powell was cleaned up and he took home the Player Of The Match award for his exploits. For West Indies, there weren't a lot of meaningful contributions from the middle order and they will need to recover quickly for the second T20I on June 8 in Bristol. Must Watch
