CWC-2019: Hold on to the other teams - Can get out of the Caribbean storm

Read Time:2 Minute, 17 Second

The Caribbean Hurricane in Nottingham on Friday destroyed the Pakistani team. For the past few years, the team of West Indies has been similar to those who can win anytime, anywhere, surprised by any team. In his house, Indies had defeated England in the Test series this year and this is where tremendous changes were made in the team.

In the World Cup-2013, the West Indies defeated Pakistan by 218 balls, defeating 7-wicket defeats. After inviting Pakistan for batting first, the Indians wreaked havoc with short pitch balls and stabbed the entire team for 105 runs in 21.4 overs. After that, he scored an easy victory in 13.4 overs with 108 runs for 3 wickets.

It was not that Trent Bridge had some disturbances in the pitch. England had scored 481 runs against Australia in this match against Australia last year, and in recent times, Pakistan also scored a score of 340 for 7 in a match here.

Indeed, Pakistan’s bad times were done by the Caribbean fast bowlers who started an aggressive attitude from the beginning. The problem with Pakistani pacers was that the shot selection was extremely poor. At one time, Pakistan’s score was 75 runs on 4 wickets, but after that their innings shattered like the cards.

All wickets from fast bowlers took the West Indies wickets. Oshana Thomas (4/27) and Captain Jason Holder (3 for 42) But it was all-rounder Andre Russell, who scored 2 for 4 in 3 overs, Pakistan’s top order shocked. Sheldon Cottrell grabbed one wicket for 18 runs. It is interesting that the wicket-keeper ink has four catches.

This ‘deadly’ performance of the West Indies in the present World Cup has given the threat bell to other teams. The same team had won the Twenty20 World Cup twice in 2012 and 2016, surprised everyone. There is a sense of pride in the West Indies that he can do anything. If there was such a hunger for victory in the West Indies, then that day is not far away when the world champion (1975 and 1979) twice, the head of the team will again crown the World Cup.

Interesting fact-

West Indies explosive opener Chris Gayle has become the batsman who has hit most sixes in the World Cup. Gayle, who played his fifth World Cup, hit three sixes in his 50-run knock and thus, in the tournament that is going to be held every four years, the number of sixes in his innings has been increased to 40.
