66 runs scored in last 5 overs

West Indies’ score in 15 overs was 130/5, but after this there was such a storm from Rutherford and Holder that the line and length of England’s bowlers started looking spoiled. Excluding the 18th over bowled by Adil Rashid, there was not a single over in the last 5 in which the West Indies batsmen scored less than 10 runs.

Meanwhile, Jason Holder hit 3 sixes in the same over of Sam Curran. At the same time, Rutherford and Holder also beat Joffra Archer a lot. Archer proved to be the most expensive for England, who gave away 48 runs in 4 overs.

If England is able to score 197 runs, then it will make the record of the third highest successful run chase in T20 World Cup history. Currently, the third most successful run chase is in the name of USA, which had achieved the target of 195 runs against Canada in the 2024 World Cup.
