West Indies wins the toss and gets onto the field. They hardly bat first after winning the toss. They have their strength in their batting and hence they go for the chase most of the times and we have seen them chasing down some big totals in the world t20 so far.
At the moment, Badree and Russell have given the West Indies the ideal start. England is 41 in 7 overs but they have also lost 3 wickets as well. Badree, as usual, has been excellent with the new ball. He skids it well and the variations helps him get wickets and contain runs as well.
The first wicket went to Badree on the second ball of the game. It was a slider that came with the arm. Roy thought of a leg spin and his stance was too opened one and Badree gets his ball through the gap and knocks out the leg stump.
Hales was the unlucky one. Russell has him a hittable ball on the leg side and as he flicks it, the ball goes straight into the hands of Badree stationed at short fine leg. The irony for Hales was that Badree was the only fielder present on the leg side and he found him perfectly.
The third wicket was the big one. The English captain was not getting Badree at all as he went for a flick on the leg side, he edged the ball into the safe hands of Chris Gayle standing at the first slip. Badree took his send one with that wicket. West Indies at the moment are controlling things here at the Eden Gardens in this big game. The crowd is also behind them.
