Cricket fans are super excited about the recent T20 match between England and the West Indies, which happened on June 7, 2025. It was an awesome game full of big hits, smart bowling, and exciting moments. England won the match, thanks to their new captain, Harry Brook, and a fantastic performance by Jos Buttler. This game has got everyone talking, from social media to sports news!
Harry Brook: The New Boss
At only 26 years old, Harry Brook is England’s new white-ball captain, and he’s already making waves. This was his first big T20 match as the full-time leader, and he showed he’s got what it takes. Brook made smart choices during the game, like changing bowlers at the right time to mess up the West Indies’ batting. Fans love his cool and clever style, and many are saying he could be one of England’s best captains ever.
Brook mixes modern ideas, like using data to plan, with a natural feel for the game. After the match, he said, “We’ve got a great team, and it’s all about making the right moves at the right time. The guys did awesome today.” His calm vibe and ability to lead the team have fans hopeful about England’s future in T20 cricket.
Jos Buttler’s Amazing Batting
If Brook was the brain of the team, Jos Buttler was the star with the bat. He smashed 96 runs off just 59 balls, almost getting a century! His batting was a mix of beautiful shots, cheeky ramps, and huge sixes. He hit nine fours and five sixes, showing why he’s one of the best T20 players in the world.
Buttler had been struggling with injuries and low scores lately, so this big performance was a huge deal. “It felt great to score runs again,” he said after the game. “The team believed in me, and I wanted to give back.” Buttler and opener Phil Salt, who scored a quick 42, helped England reach a big total of 192 runs, which was too much for the West Indies to chase.
West Indies Try Hard, But England’s Bowlers Shine
The West Indies, led by Rovman Powell, have a strong batting lineup with stars like Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell. But England’s bowlers, especially Liam Dawson, were too good. Dawson took 4 wickets for just 20 runs, getting out big players like Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer. His spin bowling was tricky and slowed down the West Indies’ chase.
Fast bowlers Jofra Archer and Reece Topley also did great, bowling fast and keeping things tight. Archer was super quick, hitting speeds over 145 km/h, which made it hard for the West Indies batters. England’s smart bowling kept the West Indies to 156 runs, giving England a 36-run win.
Why Everyone’s Talking About This Game
