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 National Cricket ಌStadium in St Lucia on Saturday.
Hetmyer scored 61 off just 36 deliveries while Bravo hit 🐟an unbeaten 47 (34).
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.
Here’s the video:

Chasing 197, Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh struck his second half-century in as many matches with a steady 54, but a batting collapse similar to the series opener at the same venue ensured the tourists were bundled out for 140 in 19.2 overs. It marked the first time since 201ꦇ0 that a team lost all its ten wickets in consecutive T20Is.
Meanwhile, with this win, the Windies have taken a lead of 2-0 in the five-match series.
