POMS’ DEADLY SIX-PACK

-

ADIL Rashid on Sunday said England boasted half a dozen match-winning bowlers after his figures of 4-2 set up a sixwicket thrashing of reigning champions West Indies at the Twenty20 World Cup.

England skittled out West Indies for a paltry 55 in 14.2 overs after they elected to field first in their Super 12 opener in Dubai.

Rashid returned to wrap up the West Indies innings after fellow spinner Moeen

Ali rattled the top order with two wickets.

“We know we have got five-six bowlers there, match winners,” Rashid said when asked about the pitches in the UAE helping spinners.

“So on any given day anyone can come and get wickets.”

West Indies rattled England’s top order before Jos Buttler (24) and skipper Eoin Morgan (7) took the team home in 8.2 overs in Dubai.
