England bowled West Indies out for 55 runs as they made a stunning start to their Men's T20 World Cup campaign with a six-wicket win in Dubai.

In a near-perfect bowling performance, England humiliated the defending champions by dismissing them in 14.2 overs.

Adil Rashid took a barely believable 4-2 while Moeen Ali and Tymal Mills were brilliant, both claiming 2-17.

With 13 runs, Chris Gayle was the only West Indies batter to reach double figures in a feeble batting display.

In another match this morning, Australia beat South Africa by five wickets.

Marcus Stoinis and Matthew Wade added an unbroken 40 as Australia won with two balls to spare in Abu Dhabi.

Steve Smith made 35 from 34 balls after Australia slipped to 38-3.
