A horrible start for the defending champions West Indies in the T20 World Cup and a brilliant one for England. Eoin Morgan and his men would be relieved with this win as they had not managed to win against the West Indies in the T20 World Cup. West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard would want his team to put this loss behind them and focus on their four remaining matches. Next, West Indies take on South Africa and Englandface Bangladesh.
That would be all from the coverage of this match. Join us tomorrow, good bye for now!
Kieron Pollard, West Indies captain: It was unacceptable, we accept that. These sorts of games sometimes, we just need to bin it. For us, it's just a matter of finding our straps. We haven't batted well in our three games so far. We went out, guys tried to play their shots, and it didn't come off. I don't think any sort of panic will come into our camp. It is what it is, we just need to take it on our chest and move on, this is an international sport. Obviously, we play a lot of cricket around the world, and this is not the first time something like this has happened. We've played cricket around the world, and we have the experience of games like this. Getting an opportunity because of the injury to Fabian Allen. Everything happens for a reason, and Akeal Hosein showed us what he can do.
Eoin Morgan, England captain: It's as good as it gets. To start our campaign like that, all credit to our bowling unit. The guys were very disciplined, and we took our chances. I think Moeen Ali read the conditions beautifully, he took chances when his match-up was in his favour, and to take his opportunity like he has, after the success he's had in the IPL was brilliant. I'm delighted for Big T. He's had an unfortunate journey at times, but he's now as good as I've ever seen him, especially with his fitness. We were thinking about the Net Run Rate and hence held back Malan, we wanted guys to go after the bowling, but that was difficult today on that pitch.
England's Mooen Ali wins the Player of the Match award for his spell of 4-1-17-2.
Moeen Ali:A catch like that gives you a bit of confidence, I think it settled my nerves a bit," They do have a lot of left-handers at the top, so I knew I would be bowling early on. The role at CSK is very important for me, it feels like I'm always involved with bat and ball and on the field too, and it was the perfect preparation coming into the World Cup.
