T20 World Cup: Powell Feels WI Were '15-20 Runs' Short Against England
T20 World Cup: West Indies captain Rovman Powell lamented missed opportunities and straying from their plans as his side suffered an eight-wicket defeat against England in their Super Eight match at the T20 World Cup 2024 in Gros Islet.
Chasing a challenging target of 181, England cruised to victory with Phil Salt remaining unbeaten on 87 and Jonny Bairstow contributing a rapid 48 not out off 26 balls. Their unbroken partnership of 97 off 44 balls sealed the win with 2.3 overs to spare.
Reflecting on the match, Powell acknowledged that his team left runs on the table and didn't execute their bowling plans effectively. "You have to look at it from a batting perspective. We left 15-20 runs out there as a batting group," Powell said. "I will say that we should have put up a better display as a bowling group. We are normally very good in the last five overs, but credit has to be given to the England bowling unit. They had clear plans, and the execution was good."
