West Indies’ Record-Breaking Innings Overwhelms Afghanistan in T20 World Cup

In a display of sheer dominance, the West Indies cricket team sent a resounding message to their opponents by cruising past Afghanistan in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, securing their spot in the next phase with an unbeaten record.

A Historic Powerplay

The West Indies’ batting performance at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground was nothing short of historic. Despite losing Brandon King early, Johnson Charles and Nicholas Pooran unleashed a batting frenzy. Pooran’s explosive 36-run over off Azmatullah Omarzai’s bowling etched itself into the record books, marking only the fifth time in Men’s T20I history that an over yielded 36 runs, and the second time at a Men’s World Cup.

Shattering Records

The West Indies’ Powerplay score of 92/1 set a new record for the highest total in Men’s T20 World Cup history. They surpassed Afghanistan’s previous highest conceded total of 95 against Papua New Guinea before the seventh over concluded.

Charles and Pooran’s Stand

An 80-run partnership between Charles and Pooran in just six overs propelled the West Indies to a commanding position. Charles’ departure after scoring 43 off 27 balls did little to slow down the momentum.

Hope and Pooran Keep the Pace

Shai Hope contributed a quickfire 25 off 17 balls, while Pooran reached his half-century in the 14th over, his first in a T20 World Cup. Although boundaries became scarce for a period, Rovman Powell’s six in the 16th over pushed the score past 150.

 

Pooran’s Near Century

Pooran reignited his boundary-hitting prowess, especially against Rashid Khan, who conceded 45 runs without taking a wicket. Andre Russell joined Pooran towards the innings’ end, with Pooran narrowly missing out on a century, run out for 98 off 53 balls after a remarkable throw from Omarzai.

 

Afghanistan’s Uphill Battle

Faced with a daunting total of 218/5 – West Indies’ highest in T20 World Cups – Afghanistan lost Rahmanullah Gurbaz early. Gulbadin Naib and Ibrahim Zadran steadied the ship, but the mountainous target proved too steep to climb.

Lockie Ferguson’s Historic Feat Leads New Zealand to Victory Over Papua New Guinea

With Lockie Ferguson’s record-breaking bowling performance, New Zealand ended their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a decisive win over Papua New Guinea.

Ferguson’s Maiden Magic

Ferguson etched his name in the history books by bowling four maiden overs, achieving the most economical figures in T20 format with 3/0. This remarkable feat is only the second of its kind in men’s T20 Internationals, following Canada’s Saad Bin Zafar’s 2/0 against Panama in 2021.

Dominant Kiwi Bowling Attack

New Zealand’s decision to bowl first after a rain delay proved fruitful as Trent Boult, in his final T20 World Cup appearance, and Tim Southee quickly dismantled Papua New Guinea’s top order. Ferguson’s immediate impact was felt as he claimed the wicket of PNG captain Assad Vala with his very first delivery.

 

The Kiwi bowlers maintained a stranglehold throughout the innings, with Boult (2/15), Southee (2/11), Ish Sodhi (2/29), and Mitchell Santner (1/17) all contributing to PNG’s collapse for a meager 78 runs.

Steady Chase Ensures Kiwi Win

Despite early setbacks with Finn Allen (0) and Rachin Ravindra (6) falling cheaply, Devon Conway steadied the ship with a composed 35 from 32 balls. The experienced duo of Kane Williamson (18*) and Daryl Mitchell (19*) ensured a smooth sail to victory with plenty of overs to spare.

Reflections on Group C Outcomes

Both teams were playing their final match of the tournament after failing to qualify from Group C. For New Zealand, ranked fifth globally at the tournament’s start, early losses to Afghanistan and West Indies spelled an unexpectedly early exit, marking a disappointing end for a highly-ranked side.

The Lions’ Roar: Sri Lanka’s Batting Prowess

The day began with high stakes as the Netherlands eyed a spot in the Super Eights. However, their hopes were quickly dashed as Bangladesh secured their progression in a simultaneous match. Unfazed, Sri Lanka took to the field with determination after being sent in by the Dutch.

 

Kamindu Mendis set the early pace with a steady 17 off 20 balls before being dismissed in the sixth over. The Lions were at a respectable 45/2 at this point, but it was the partnership between Kusal Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva that truly set the stage for a strong finish. Mendis’ aggressive 46 off 29 balls and de Silva’s boundary-laden innings pushed Sri Lanka to 74/2 at the halfway mark.

 

The momentum continued as Charith Asalanka joined forces with de Silva, adding quick runs and maintaining an aggressive batting stance. Asalanka’s fiery 46 off 21 balls, along with Angelo Matthews’ rapid 30* off 15, propelled Sri Lanka to an impressive total of 201/6, equalling the top score of the tournament.

The Dutch Resistance: A Spirited Chase

In response, the Netherlands made an inspired start with openers Michael Levitt and Max O’Dowd maximizing their Powerplay opportunities. Despite losing O’Dowd early, Levitt’s 31 off 23 balls kept Dutch hopes alive. However, Sri Lanka’s bowling attack, spearheaded by captain Winindu Hasaranga, began to tighten its grip on the match.

 

Hasaranga’s spell was particularly devastating, claiming key wickets at crucial moments and effectively stalling the Dutch chase. The Netherlands found themselves reeling at 83/7 after a five-wicket haul over five overs.

Closing Moments: Sri Lanka’s Triumph

Captain Scott Edwards’ top-scoring effort of 31 runs off 24 balls was commendable but ultimately not enough to turn the tide. Sri Lanka’s bowlers sealed the victory by dismissing the Netherlands for 118 runs.

Reflections on a Proud Finish

This match was more than just a win for Sri Lanka; it was a statement of resilience and skill. As they exit the World Cup stage, they do so with heads held high, having demonstrated their cricketing prowess in a memorable finale.
