Topley's excellence, success of Bairstow and Brook one place up the order and injury to Livingstone leaves coach with selection dilemmas
Topley's excellence, success of Bairstow and Brook one place up the order and injury to Livingstone leaves coach with selection dilemmas
With the Scots knowing only victory would do to see them through to the last eight, Richie Berrington’s team scored 180 batting first in St Lucia to make a game of it. Some powerful hitting from Travis Head and Marcus Stoinis during a stand of 80 from 44 balls did the trick before Tim David sealed victory with a towering six off Brad Wheal in the final over.
Instead England, who had a wobble themselves when reduced to 13 for two after being asked to bat first against Namibia, are still alive and will now face the West Indies, South Africa and co-hosts USA in three matches in five days across St Lucia and Barbados this week to determine whether they can make the semi-finals.
“It’s a big relief,” admitted Buttler. “It’s been a stressful day with the rain coming down, but I think we put in a really good performance. Everyone’s dealt with everything that’s been thrown at us really well.”
