PkRevenue.com – In an impressive display of cricket prowess, West Indies secured their sixth consecutive T20I triumph by a staggering 134-run margin against Uganda in Guyana.
The West Indies bowling attack proved to be relentless, particularly in the early stages of the second innings, as they quickly dismantled Uganda’s batting lineup.
Akeal Hosein spearheaded the assault during the initial Powerplay, claiming three crucial wickets in his three-over spell. Romario Shepherd and Andre Russell also made significant contributions with the ball, adding to Uganda’s woes.
Akeal’s exceptional performance continued as he secured his maiden T20I five-for by clinching two more wickets in the seventh over. Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie further compounded Uganda’s struggles by joining the wicket-taking spree. Consequently, Uganda was bundled out for a mere 39 runs in just 12 overs.
Opting to bat first after winning the toss, West Indies captain Rovman Powell expressed confidence in his team’s ability to capitalize on the favorable batting conditions. Brandon King and Johnson Charles set the tone early on during the Powerplay, with Nicholas Pooran showcasing his aggressive intent with two early sixes upon his arrival at the crease.
Although Alpesh Ramjani managed to dismiss King, Pooran’s departure was a temporary setback for the West Indies. Despite the controlled bowling efforts from Frank Nsubuga and Brian Masaba, the West Indies batsmen capitalized on loose deliveries, consistently finding the boundaries throughout the innings.
Uganda briefly celebrated when they claimed the wicket of Powell in the 16th over. However, Andre Russell’s explosive hitting in the final four overs propelled West Indies to add an impressive 45 runs to their total, further solidifying their commanding position in the match.
In summary, West Indies’ comprehensive victory over Uganda underscores their dominance in the T20 format, maintaining their winning streak with a clinical display of skill and determination.
