This was only a one T20 match before a 5 match ODI series.West Indies captain Gayle was not available due to injury so Ramdin was the standing captain.For England they had new wicket keeper Steve Davies.
West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl first.England lost their first wicket in just the 4th over and kept losing wickets with regular intervals.Steve Davies was their highest score with 27 and only other player to reach more then 20 was Captain Strauss.England made 121 and were bowled out in the 20th over.Suleman Benn took 3 wickets for his team.
So, 122 was always a easy target for any team and only chance for England was to take wickets.Sarwan made 59 and carried his team to victory.England chased the score in 18 overs with the loss of 4 wickets.Amjad Khan took 2 wickets for England but target was not enough to be defended.Sarwan got the man of the match.
