St Kitts [West Indies], Mar 09 (ANI): Chris Jordan's stunning bowling performance helped England bundle out Windies for 45 runs, allowing them to win the second T20 of the three-match series by 137 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
England had set a target of 183 runs in front of Windies.
Windies crumbled in a spectacular fashion as Jordan lead the way with extraordinary figures of four for six runs, the best by an England bowler in T20 cricket.
The Windies team was able to put up just 45 runs recording the second-lowest total in T20I's.
West Indies were never able to get going as David Willey dismissed Chris Gayle(5) and Shai Hope(7) very cheaply. After that captain, Eoin Morgan brought in Jordan into the attack who wreaked havoc on the Windies batsman.
