England kicked off the 5-match ODI series in West Indies in grand style as they chased down a mammoth 361 in 48.4 overs in the first ODI match at Barbados. Interestingly, two big records were shattered in the match as West Indies broke the world record for sixes in an innings while England registered their highest successful chase ever in ODIs.

West Indies batted first in the ODI in Bridgetown and Chris Gayle, who has announced retirement from ODIs after the ICC World Cup later this year, played the sheet anchor with a  brilliant 129-ball 135. Shai Hope played second fiddle to Chris Gayle with 64 runs off 65 balls.
