On Friday, hosts England beat West Indies by one-off with
both bat and ball. England's batting collapsed on 212 runs in 44.4 overs. For
the Indians, Nicholas Puran scored highest 63 runs. For England, Jopra Archer
and Mark Wood took three or three wickets.
Easier goal was achieved by England losing two wickets in
33.1 overs. England's Test team captain Joe Root played an unbeaten 100 in the
match due to injury during Jason Roy's fielding during the match. This is the
second century in the Root World Cup.
West Indies captain Jason Holder has said that the team
batted poorly in the mid over and this is why the match was lost. After the
match, Holder said, "We did not have much run on the board. We lost
wickets at regular intervals and also played some careless shots. "
Holder said, "We were unable to read the wicket well
enough and did not reach the short ball high, but when you have to save the
target of 213, you only have to take wickets." West Indies have to play
their next match on June 17 in Bangladesh in Taunton.
