Garey Mathurin, a previously unknown left-arm spinner from St Lucia, produced a remarkable spell of 3 for 9 in four overs as West Indies secured a shock 25-run victory in the second Twenty20 at The Oval. After being asked to bat first on a slow and low turner, they struggled to a total of 113 for 5 and looked set for a second heavy defeat in three days. But instead, they rallied supremely to bowl England out for 88 with more than three overs of their allocation to spare.
With England set to embark on a tour of India next week, and with the defence of their World Twenty20 crown taking place in Sri Lanka in 12 months’ time, this was a match that will have caused a few jitters in the team thinktank. On the same pitch that proved receptive to spin in Friday’s opening game, both teams stacked their side with slow bowlers, but it was England’s new-look order that ultimately dealt with the conditions the worst.
