England wins the 1st ODI by 1 runs vs West Indies

At the last, England gets the test of win along side West Indies. Both the teams passed some nail biting moments at the end of the match. England’s 270 runs challenge felt WI in huge pressure from the first time. The main cause was the gloomy weather and strong wind. The ball took a lot of swim. The match result did not come as well but D/L method. 

The host was totally in pressure form the beginning and batted carefully losing early wicket. The second partnership threw them a stable partnership and S Chanderpaul’s batting dreamt then to take the series lead who took 26 runs in a single over of SJ Harmison. Later, the other batsmen were doing well every they were in the leading position before losing the last wicket. 

There is not doubt that the Englishmen played really amazing cricket that impressed all of them who loves cricket most. All sections batting, bowling and fielding were remarkable. Their main failure was, they did not take a good runs from that last 10 overs in spite of having 6 wickets in hands.
