The result in numbers

England were all out for 154 in 19.1 overs. Moeen Ali scored 41 from 28 balls, while Fidel Edwards, Raymon Reifer and Dwayne Bravo took two wickets each. West Indies reached 156/3 in 16.1 overs, finishing with 23 balls remaining.

Simmons struck five fours and two sixes. Chadwick Walton added 46 from 35 balls, and Reifer stayed unbeaten on 35 from 22. These figures are from the completed match scorecard, not from a projected playing XI or a live scoreboard.

How the result affects the standings

England, who had won their first two completed games, remained top with four points from three. West Indies moved to two points from two, alongside India, South Africa and Australia in the independent table checked on 8 October. Net run rate separates that group in the dated snapshot; the tournament is not over.

CricWin24’s earlier England–West Indies prediction is preserved as a pre-match forecast. This confirmed seven-wicket result supersedes that forecast. The organizer’s revised list has West Indies due to meet Bangladesh on 9 October at Sharjah; team selection and future outcomes remain unconfirmed.
