England were bowled out for 192 in the first innings at Potchefstroom, with Nathan Edward picking up 3-28. In reply, the Windies were given an early blow as opener Adrian Weir was sent back for a duck. West Indies kept losing regular wickets and were 98-5 at one stage after Ali’s twin strikes in the space of two overs.
He first dismissed Mavendra Dindyal with a ripping googly with the third ball of the 14th over that took down his bails and then came back to dismiss the in-form Jewel Andrew in his next over with a leg-break delivery that came in after pitching on the leg-stump. Andrew had scored a century and a fifty in the first two games of the event but departed for two against England.
Ali also dismissed skipper Stephan Pascal in the 32nd over and ended the game with 3-34 but his efforts went in vain as West Indies won in the end with two wickets to spare.
