In a high-stakes cricket series, England and West Indies are set for a thrilling decider after England achieved a record T20 score, led by Phil Salt who broke Mohammad Rizwan's record for the most runs in a bilateral T20I series. Soumya Sarkar's 169 runs set a new benchmark for Bangladesh in ODIs against New Zealand, contributing to Bangladesh's total of 291, although New Zealand secured a 2-0 series lead. Henry Nicholls celebrated reaching 2,000 ODI career runs. Adil Rashid topped the ICC T20I bowling rankings for the first time, just a day after going unsold at the IPL Auction. England coach Matthew Mott regards the series as crucial preparation for the T20 World Cup and believes they have found the 'blueprint' for T20 success. England's latest outing in Trinidad ended with them all out for 132, a stark contrast to their record score previously. The West Indies bowling attack, including notable performances from Motie, Hosein, Holder, and Russell, left England struggling. The West Indies, with a steady chase, need 71 runs from 60 balls to clinch the series.
