In a commanding display, Evin Lewis smashed his way to 94 runs, leading the West Indies to an emphatic eight-wicket victory over England in the first one-day international. Remarkably, Lewis hit four times as many sixes as the entire England team combined, underscoring his dominance in the match.

Despite a rain-affected game that saw interruptions alter the number of overs, Lewis's impactful performance was pivotal. Returning to the ODI lineup for the first time in three years, he was the only batter to master the challenging conditions at the Sir Viv Richards Stadium, hitting eight sixes from just 69 balls before his dismissal.

This victory gave the West Indies an early lead in the three-match series, as they comfortably chased down the revised target of 157. England, transitioning from a test series, struggled on the tricky pitch with Livingstone's 48 and Curran's 37 providing the backbone of their innings.
