West Indies spun England out of the T20 World Cup with a commanding 30-run victory in Mumbai. Left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie (3-33) and off-spinner Roston Chase (2-29) dismantled England’s middle order, triggering a collapse from a manageable chase. Their combined eight overs yielded just 62 runs and five crucial wickets.

After being inserted, West Indies stumbled to 77-4 before Sherfane Rutherford’s brutal, unbeaten 76 off 42 balls rescued the innings. His explosive half-century, supported by late hits from Jason Holder and Rovman Powell, propelled the total to 196-6. England’s reply never found momentum despite Sam Curran’s fighting 43, as wickets fell regularly to the slow bowlers.

The loss drops England to third in Group C, two points adrift of a West Indies side now leading the table. Captain Harry Brook conceded his team was “slightly off” against a powerful batting lineup that punished any errors. Adil Rashid’s milestone 400th T20 wicket provided a lone bright spot for England.

England must now defeat Scotland and Italy to progress, while West Indies stand on the brink of qualification. The result underscores the tournament’s unpredictable nature and the match-winning power of quality spin on a used pitch.
