Brandon King hit an unbeaten 82 as West Indies beat England by 10 runs in the second T20 in Grenada this evening, to go two-nil up in the five-match series.
The opener put on an 80-run partnership with Rovman Powell who contributed 50, after the hosts slipped to 54 for four in the ninth over.
Sam Curran endured a torrid 16th over at the hands of Powell, conceding 30 runs including four sixes, before dismissing the Windies skipper with his final delivery.
Player of the match, King, continued to carry the charge, striking Rehan Ahmed’s next over for 18, as the West Indies finished on 176 for seven.
England then fell short on 166 for seven off their allocation, led by Curran with 50.
Alzarri Joseph took three for 39 while Akeal Hosein picked up two for 24.
The teams remain in Grenada for what could be a series-winning third T20 on Saturday for the Windies.
