After the match, the former bowler of England, Steven Finn said ‘England have been excellent and reaffirmed the manner in how they want to approach white-ball cricket’. He has also added by saying ‘I like that Phil Salt sets the tone at the top of the innings. Jason Roy embodied it previously and Salt has taken on that mantle’.
On the other hand, the captain of England, Jos Buttler has stated ‘We showed so much character. To score two hundreds in a row, Phil Salt has been phenomenal…I am really proud of the group. To go 2-0 down and show the reaction we have – to show the bravery, courage and ultimately skill level as well to be able to execute it…I am delighted for the guys and it’s a really confident changing room’.
Right after the match, the captain of West Indies, Rovman Powell also said a few words.
