Patna : West Indies (WI), a two-time champion, were all out for a paltry 55 runs in 14.2 overs in a atrocious batting display against England in a Group 1 match of ICC T20 World Cup at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, UAE, as leg spinner Adil Rashid Rashid taking 4/2 in 2.2 overs, his career best bowling figure. England had won the toss and opted to bowl.
Chris Gayle was the top scorer for defending champion WI with 13 runs in 13 balls with 3 fours while Kieron pollard scored 6 runs. Adil Rashid took wickets including that of Pollard on successive balls in 13th overs, his 2nd over. None of the WI batsmen including Gayle, Pollard, Dwayne Bravo (5), Andre Russel (0), wk Nicholas Pooran (1), and Shimron Hetmyer (9) tried to stay at the wicket. It was just horrible batting by WI.
