Shimron Hetmyer and Dwayne Bravo’s fourth-wicket stand helped the hosts West Indies register a 56-run win over Australia in the second T20 international at Daren Sammy Nationꦉal Cricket Stadium in St Lucia o♈n Saturday.
H🙈etmyer scored 61 off just 36 deliveries while Bravo hit an unbeaten 47 (34ඣ).
The main highlight of Bravo’s brilliant knock was him thumping the Aussie all-rounder Ashton Agar for a maximum over the deep square leg region with which the Men in Maroon also surpassed the 100-run mark.
On the fourth delivery of the 13th over, Bravo smashed an astounding one-handed six that went over the stadium’s roof.

It marked the first time since 2010 that a teamꩵ lost all its ten wickets in consecutive T20Is.
