England handed a humiliating 6-wicket loss to West Indies in the campaign opener of both the sides on Saturday. From the toss to every single moment in the game, the Three Lions maintained an outright dominance throughout, thanks to a splendid effort from their bowlers who bundled out the defending champions to mere 55 runs.
The game started with Eoin Morgan winning the toss and opting to bowl first against West Indies. Batting first, the Windies lost Evin Lewis in the second over only and England capitalized on the opportunity by picking up wickets one after another. Adil Rashid dismissed four Windies batters by giving away just 2 runs, while Moeen Ali and Tymal Mills' identical figures of 2/17 also played a crucial role in bowling West Indies out for mere 55 runs. Chris Jordan and Chris Woakes also claimed a scalp each to make sure no bowler remains wicketless in the fest.
Chasing a paltry total of 56 runs against West Indies, England reached home with 6 wickets in hand and 70 balls to spare. Jos Buttler scored 24* off 22 to help the side start their T20 World Cup campaign with a win that too against the defending champions. From West Indies getting bowled out for 55 runs to England making mockery of the target, the netizens wasted no time in trolling the batters of the 2016 T20 World Cup-winning team. They also shared several memes to compare the performance of Windies batters while they play for franchise and for the nation.
