Summary of West Indies T20I Series Win Against England

The recently concluded series between West Indies and England had all the thriller, a cricket match needs to have in its pocket. Before beginning the series, West Indies suffered a humiliating series loss against Ireland at their home and now they had to face the number 1 T20 International side England.

The series was expected to be a dead rubber, however West Indies produced one of the most exciting series for their fans. As, they successfully managed to clinch the series with 3-2.

After winning the toss, Kieron Pollard opted to bat first and set a total in front of visitors. A collective team effort helped in scoring 179 runs, with captain leading from front and being  the top scorer for the team. England needed 180 runs in 20 overs with a required run rate of 9 per over.

England started off poorly with both their openers Jason Roy & Tom Banton been sent back to dressing room for merely 8 & 16 runs respectively. England were searching for a partnership to chase down the total. From England’s camp, James Vince rose up for the occasion, however he fell in the trap of Akeal Hosein at the score of 55.

England were still 68 runs short from the target with 39 balls left. Although, the equation was not a big deal but wickets in hand was a concern for them. Sam Billings played an exceptional knock, however he did not gained any support from the other end which made the chase unachievable.

In the final over of the game, England required 20 runs to seal the series which was quite an impossible task, since only Sam Billings could make it possible. Jason Holder started the over with a no ball, only to rise a ray of hope in the England camp. This was short lived. As, every batter who started hitting Jason Holder’s ball could only find the hands of fielder to be dismissed

What happened next? A rare feat was achieved by Holder, which has been previously done thrice only by Lasith Malinga, Rashid Khan and Curtis Campher. He took four wickets in four balls and sent back England’s batter with a ball to spare. Holder took the wickets of Chris Jordan 7 (10 balls), Sam Billings 41 (28 balls), Adil Rashid 0 (1) & Saqib Mahmood 0 (1).

With this, West Indies defeated England with a ball to spare and clinched the historic series win. Moreover, Jason Holder joined the exclusive club of double hattrick bowlers.
