 Wright justified his promotion to opener with some massive hitting
|
Luke Wright hit 75 not out as England beat West Indies by nine wickets in their final Twenty20 warm-up match.
Following Tuesday's struggle against Scotland they were ruthless and won with 32 balls to spare at Lord's.
West Indies needed Ramnaresh Sarwan's late 46 in 34 balls to reach 144-6, Adil Rashid the best bowler with 1-20.
Ravi Bopara (60) and Wright shared 119 in 12 overs, Wright firing three successive sixes, five in total, as 62 of his innings came in boundaries.
It was England's seventh successive victory against the Windies in completed Tests, one-day international and Twenty20 games stretching back to the winter tour in the Caribbean.
If questions needed asking after Tuesday's match, they were answered convincingly.
Wright played second fiddle to the in-form Bopara at the start of the innings but accelerated in dramatic fashion with some mighty hits, and reached fifty from 36 balls in the 11th over.
Bopara recorded his fifty in the next over with his seventh four and played another stylish innings before he was finally caught on the mid-wicket boundary, leaving just 26 needed from 46 balls.
England's performance in the field was also sharp, with excellent catching, and Ryan Sidebottom took an outstanding catch over his right shoulder at third man to snare a top-edge and dismiss Shivnarine Chanderpaul first ball.
Rashid came into the attack after six overs following the completion of the fielding restrictions.
The 21-year-old Yorkshireman was hit for two sixes and conceded 31 from his three overs against Scotland at Trent Bridge on Tuesday but bowled accurately with 11 dot balls and claimed the important wicket of Dwayne Bravo who mis-hit to long-off.
