The West Indies' miserable run on their tour of the United Kingdom continued on Friday, as the Caribbean men went down by 21 runs in the first T20 international against hosts England at Chester-Le-Street in Durham.
England who elected to bat, posted 188-6 with wicketkeeper Jos Butler leading the way with a knock of 96 off 59 balls, including 6 fours and 4 sixes.
Jamie Smith weighed in with 38 and Jacob Bethell an unbeaten 23 against Romario Shepherd who bagged 2-33.
The West Indies in reply, were restricted to 167-9, as only Evin Lewis with 39 and Roston Chase 24, offered any resistance against Liam Dawson 4-20.
The result means that England, having swept the preceding ODI series 3-0, take a 1-0 advantage into the second T20I of the three-match series in Bristol on Sunday.
