Milestone
That's it from the riveting England's white-ball tour to the Caribbean Islands. West Indies won the ODI leg 2-1 and, now, won the five-match T20I series 3-2. It was all square coming into this decider, and boy, it was a low-scoring thriller in Tarouba. I am AkshayaKrishna Polya, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Saptak Sanyal, who, alongside our scorer/analyst Ashok Dayma, brought you all the live-action of this enthralling fixture. We will meet again in another game. Until then, it's cheers!
Rovman Powell is collecting the trophy from the West Indies cricket board president Dr. Kishore Shallow and the Caribbeans are celebrating with the trophy in the ground.
Rovman Powell (West Indies Captain): "Yeah, you know, we want to give a special thanks to the crowd here in Trinidad and Tobago. They have stuck in for a couple of days and kept backing us.
We had a meeting on the eve of this game, and we discussed where it went wrong in the previous game. In the last two games, the guys didn't execute.
This pitch was behaving two-paced. It wasn't a pitch that offered a lot of shots. We always knew Hope would be an important batter in this wicket.
The pitch was an excellent one back in Barbados, then in Grenada, and now here in Trinidad. Credit to the groundsmen across the series. We, as players, are unhappy so many times.
Motie was very good. It was good to use mixed experience with youth. I have a good bunch of guys around me, and that's the reason for our success. I try to lead from the front, and they respect me so much."

Jos Buttler(England Captain)- "I think the conditions were different. I think in this wicket, 160 would have been a really decent total. Our bowlers did well and took the match close. Had there been more runs on the board, we would have been in a better position.
Salt has had a fantastic series. It is never easy to score back to back hundreds and he did that. We found a lot of ourselves and we will look to take the learnings positively. It feels always great to come and play to the Caribbean and we have thoroughly enjoyed our time here."

Phil Salt (POTS): "Yeah, it is disappointing to see the wrong end of the result in the decider. We tried as hard as we could, and we gave it all, but Shai Hope played a brilliant knock. We took it as deep as we could. We have had a long time around this set-up.
I keep learning from Jos Buttler. It has been a challenge. The wicket looked good here. It behaved slightly different under the natural light and it behaved quite differently now under floodlights. You always have more time than you think I suppose."
