ইংল্যান্ডকে ৩-২ গোলে হারানোর পর সমালোচকদের চুপ করিয়ে দিলেন কাইরন পোলার্ড
ENG VS WI: Kieron Pollard-led West Indies was absolutely sensational in the just-concluded five-match T20I series. The series victory by 3-2 will act as a stepping stone for the team in their preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup 20222, scheduled in October and November.
Before the commencement of the series, West Indies were subjected to a lot of criticism for their recent performances in the shorter format of the game. The two-time T20 Champion had won just two of their last ten league matches and failed to make a mark in the T20 World Cup 2021 as well.
However, the team made amends and they are now back with the band. West Indies made a solid statement as they defeated one of the strongest white-ball teams by 3-2. The first T20 International between the two sides saw Indies securing a victory by nine wickets.
England bounced back in the second T20 International as they cruised to a one-run win. The host again took a lead in the third match by recording a win by 20 runs. Meanwhile, the fourth game saw domination by Englishmen as they won by 34 runs. We have best cricket betting tips and tricks. Get the live results here.
