West Indies vs England
Brief Scores: West Indies 267/7 in 50 overs (Kevin Anderson 86*, Nyeem Young 66) beat England 184/9 in 43.4 overs (Tom Clark 38, Ben Charlesworth 36; Nyeem Young 5-45) by 71 runs (DLS)
West Indies batted first and got off to a slow but steady start. While Kelvon Anderson was keeping the scoreboard ticking from one end, wickets kept on falling from the other end as West Indies were 138-5 when Nyeem Young came out to bat. England were right on top but Young just completely changed the face of the game with his attacking brand of cricket. He scored a quickfire 66 and put up a century-stand with Anderson. Young was dismissed on 66 while Anderson remained not out on 86 as West Indies posted a competitive score of 267-7 in their 50 overs.
In reply, England looked to be in the chase at one stage when they were 120-2. But then Nyeem Young just ran through their middle-order, picking up figures of 5/45 as England slumped to 184-9. The rain made no further play possible and West Indies won the game by 71 runs (D/L). Young was awarded the Man of the Match for his fantastic performance.

Needing only 62 runs to win, Australian openers Sam Fanning and Jake Fraser-McGurk chased down the score in only 7.4 overs, completing a thumping win.
