West Indies vs England: Record-Smashing Match Ends With 29-Run Win For England

SAINT GEORGIA: Spectators were left ducking for cover as the teams piled up a world record 46 sixes in St. George’s, 24 by England and 22 by West Indies.

Jos Buttler and Eoin Morgan made centuries before Adil Rashid took four wickets in five balls as England beat West Indies by 29 runs in an astonishing fourth one-day international in Grenada on Wednesday.

England’s total surpassed the 23 hit by West Indies in the first game last week, while the combined tally bettered the 38 sixes hit by India and Australia in Bengaluru in 2013.

Buttler smashed 12 sixes in his 150, from only 77 balls, while Morgan was almost subdued by comparison, compiling 103 from 88 balls as England scored 418 for six off their 50 overs.

The final match of the series will be in St. Lucia on Saturday.
