Video: West Indies Lifts World T20 Title

By:MARK SMITH | CARIBBEAN CONTRIBUTOR Published on: April 3, 2016 6:47 pm Leave a Comment

West Indies 161 for 6 (Samuels 85*, Brathwaite 34*, Willey 3-20) beat England 155 for 9 (Root 54, Brathwaite 3-23, Bravo 3-37) by four wickets

KOLKATA, India, Sporting Alert – Heading into the 20th and final over, the West Indies needed 19 runs to win the World Twenty 20 title and Carlos Brathwaite delivered emphatically, as the Regional team reached 161 for 6.

“Good to see Carlos play like that in his debut World Cup. Shows the Twenty20 depth we have in the Caribbean. Hopefully we will continue to improve,” West Indies captain Darren Sammy said.

The Windies, who were the first country to win two One Day International World Cups, are now the first team to win the World Twenty20 twice.

West Indies looked done and dusted heading into that final over, but Brathwaite lashed four consecutive sixes to lead the Caribbean side to the victory target in style with two balls to spare.

The big allrounder finished undefeated on 34, while Man-of-the-Match Marlon Samuels stroke 85 not out off 66 balls with nine fours and two sixes after coming in at No. 3 and seeing West Indies in big-time trouble with three wickets down and only 11 runs on the board.

Dwayne Bravo struck 25 runs from 27 deliveries, which helped the big hitters draw close to the century mark.

David Willey was the leading England wicket taker with three for 20 and Joe Root, who the wickets of openers Chris Gayle and Johnson Charles for four and one, respectively, ended with two for nine.

Earlier, England recovered from three for 23 to score 155 for 9 off their 20 overs.

Root made 54 runs to top score for the England, with Jos Buttler added 36.

Brathwaite took three wickets for 23 and Bravo bagged three for 37 off their respective four overs.

Samuel Badree ended with two wickets for 16 off his four overs.

“We didn’t have enough runs on the board. It was a really good batting surface, maybe 180-90 was par,” said England captain Eoin Morgan.

“We showed an immense amount of character in the tournament, not quite done enough to win it. I truly believe this is only the start of something special.”

The victory for the men’s team saw them joining the women’s team which won their first-ever World Twenty20 title earlier in the day.

The Caribbean U19 side also their tournament earlier this year.

St John’s, Antigua (Sporting Alert) – West Indies will try to take early wickets when the second day of the first Test match against England continues at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium at North Sound, in Antigua on Tuesday.

West Indies v England Live First Test Ball by Ball Updates | Follow Live Radio Commentary

“We definitely have to start very well in the morning,” West Indies seamer Kemar Roach said about heading into the first session Tuesday.

England recovered from a shaky start to close the day at 341 for five with middle order batsman Ian Bell stroking a fine 143 to rescue the visitors, who had stumbled to 34 for three during the opening session.

Joe Root made 83 and shared in a 177 run partnership with Bell for England who dominated the afternoon sessions.

Ben Stokes also made a half century and was unbeaten on 71 at the close, but Jonathan Trott, returning to the national setup, was dismissed for a third ball duck.

England captain Alastair Cook made 11 and Gary Balance was out for 10 runs.

Roach took two wickets for 66 runs off 21 overs, while Jerome Taylor finished with two wickets for 79.

“The ball swung early and we bowled exceptionally well. We wanted more wickets in the first session but three wickets was fantastic going in at lunch,” Roach said after the first day.

“But after lunch, that’s probably where we went wrong. We weren’t consistent enough.”

West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin, who won the toss and put England in to bat on day one on Monday, will be hoping for another good opening session on the second day’s play.

Summary Scores:

England 1st Innings: 341/5 (90 Overs). Ian Bell 143, Joe Root 83, Ben Stokes 71*, Alastair Cook 11; Kemar Roach 21-4-66-2, Jerome Taylor 15-2-79-2, Jason Holder 18-7-55-1, Sulieman Benn 26-3-85-0.

West Indies: Devon Smith, Kraigg Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Jermaine Blackwood, Denesh Ramdin (capt), Jason Holder, Jerome Taylor, Kemar Roach, Sulieman Benn

England: Alastair Cook (capt), Jonathan Trott, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Jorda.

St John’s, Antigua (Sporting Alert) – West Indies have won the toss and captain Denesh Ramdin decided to send England in to bat in the first Test of the series at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium at North Sound, in Antigua on Monday.

Both teams are looking to rebound from a very disappointing World Cup tournament, with the travelers starting as the favourites to win the three match series.

Ramdin says he decided to bowl first as he believes there are some moisture on the surface that he feels his seamers, Jerome Taylor and Kemar Roach can both use.

“We’re going to exploit whatever moisture there is and try to put them under pressure early,” the skipper said.

“First hour, hour and a half there should be some moisture.”

West Indies new coach Phil Simmons makes two changes from the West Indies last Test side in South Africa, as Darren Bravo and Kemar Roach both returning in place of Leon Johnson and Shannon Gabriel.

There were no places for the likes of newcomers Shai Hope and Carlos Brathwaite, as well as Devendra Bishoo.

Jonathan Trott, returning to the England setup since cutting his time short with the national team during the last Ashes series against Australia, will open the batting with captain Alastair Cook, who returns to competitive international cricket after missing the World Cup.

For England, seamer James Anderson will play in his 100th Test match for England and besides targeting a series victory, he will be looking to capture the four wickets needed to overtaking Ian Botham as the highest all-time Test wicket-taker for his country.

Anderson currently has 380 Test wickets for England.

Full Teams

England: Cook, Trott, Ballance, Bell, Root, Stokes, Buttler†, Jordan, Broad, Tredwell, Anderson.

West Indies: Smith, Brathwaite, DM Bravo, MN Samuels, S Chanderpaul, J Blackwood, D Ramdin*†, JO Holder, JE Taylor, KAJ Roach, SJ Benn.

Pakistan never recovered from the disastrous start in their chase of 311 and were bowled out for 160 by the West Indies in their second Pool B World Cup game on Saturday.

The Caribbean side won by 150 runs at Christchurch to move to second place in the group, while Pakistan,  falling to their second successive Pool B defeat, are one from the bottom.

West Indies, after making 310 runs from their 50 overs got off to a brilliant start after opener Nasir Jamshed and top order batsmen Younis Khan and Haris Sohail all fell without scoring in a dismal chase.

Fast bowler Jerome Taylor removed Jamshed and Khan in the opening over, before removing Sohail in his second.

The other opener Ahmed Shehzad fell for just one run when West Indies captain Jason Holder had him caught at fifth slip by Lendl Simmons as Pakistan got off to the worst start at a World Cup — eclipsing the 4 for 4 by Canada.

They were struggling at 1 for 4.

Wicketkeeper  Umar Akmal led with 59 and Sohaib Maqsood added 50 runs to lead the way for Pakistan, who got 28 from Shahid Afridi.

Only three Pakistan batsmen reached double figures in scoring.

Taylor finished with three wickets for 15 runs off 7 overs, with Man-of-the-Match Russell taking three for 33 from 8 overs.

West Indies Innings: 310/6 (50 Overs). Denesh Ramdin+ 51, Lendl Simmons 50, Darren Bravo 49 Retire Hurt, Andre Russell 42*; Haris Sohail 9-0-62-2, Mohammad Irfan 10-0-44-1, Wahab Riaz 10-0-67-1, Sohail Khan 10-1-73-1.

Pakistan Innings: 160 All Out (39 Overs). Umar Akmal+59, Sohaib Maqsood 50, Shahid Afridi 28, Misbah-ul-Haq* 7; Jerome Taylor 7-1-15-3, Andre Russell 8-2-33-3, Sulieman Benn 9-0-39-2, Jason Holder 7-2-23-1.

————————————————Earlier Report————————————————

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (Sporting Alert) — Hard hitting allrounder Andre Russell belted a 13 ball unbeaten 42 to help guide the West Indies to 310 for 6 in their second game of the 2015 ICC World Cup against Pakistan at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.

Russell blasted 4 huge sixes and 3 fours in his blistering knock as the West Indies improved from 259 for 5 when Darren Sammy felled for 30 in the 48th over, to score over 300 runs after being asked to bat by Pakistan.

Denesh Ramdin made 51 for the Caribbean side, while Lendl Simmons scored 50 runs in the total, as Pakistan gave away 23 extras, including 14 wides.

Darren Bravo reached 49 before he was forced to retire hurt after picking up a hamstring injury just after the West Indies took the Powerplay in the 32nd over.

Vice-captain Marlon Samuels made 38 from 52 balls with opener Dwayne Smith reaching 23 from 27 balls before he went early again.

Haris Sohail took two wickets for Pakistan, but the likes of Sohail Khan and Wahab Riaz were very expensive.

Earlier Pakistan made one change from the side that was beaten by India in their opening World Cup game, as Nasir Jamshed comes into the side for Yasir Shah.

Hard hitting opener Chris Gayle failed again with the bat after going in the fifth over for just four runs.

The West Indies dropped fast bowler Kemar Roach and recalled spinner Sulieman Benn, who is expected to get some assistance from the pitch.

Ireland upset West Indies In Pool B opener – ICC World Cup

Ireland World Cup

Latest Update #2 – Ireland v West Indies

Ireland pulled off a stunning upset victory over the West Indies in their World Cup Pool opening match in Nelson on Monday.

The Irish, after restricting the Caribbean side to 304 for 7 off their 50 overs, reached 307 for 6 from 45.5 overs to win by four wickets….Here is the full scoreboard

Latest Update #2 – Ireland v West Indies

A brilliant sixth wicket partnership between Darren Sammy and Lendl Simmons of 154 runs, off 21.0 overs have helped the West Indies reached 304 for seven off their 50 overs.

Simmons and Sammy came together at the crease with the Windies struggling at 87 for five and the pair pushed the Caribbean side to 241 before Sammy was caught in the deep in the 45th over for a well-played 89, which included 9 fours and 4 sixes off 67 balls.

Simmons carried on to make 102, while Andre Russell made a quick fire 27.

“We needed a partnership so it was great when Sammy came on so we could do it,” Simmons said at the end of the innings. 

“It was a nice pitch with the slower ball sliding on us. I accepted the challenge of batting lower down the order. We do have some good swing and pace bowlers, so we hope we can utilise the pitch and get the win. Ireland should provide a good challenge.”

The West Indies scored 198 runs in the last 20 overs.

Latest Update – Ireland v West Indies

The West Indies supporters are in even bigger disbelief as the Caribbean side has slipped to 87 for 5 and look in danger of losing its opening game of the ICC World Cup Cricket tournament in Nelson.

A very poor and sluggish start by the openers gave the Ireland bowlers the confidence they needed against the Caribbean club, and with its top order and middle order batsmen already sitting in the stands, it will now take something special to see the West Indies to a defendable score.

Chris Gayle (36), Marlon Samuels (21), Darren Bravo (0) and Dwayne Smith (18), Denesh Ramdin (1) are all back in the pavilion, with George Dockrell so far picking up three wickets for the Irish.

(Sporting Alert) — West Indies fans are hoping the Caribbean side can make a winning start to their 2015 ICC World Cup Cricket game against Ireland at Saxton Oval, here in Nelson.

The Windies, who have had their problems with off the field matters recently, have also struggled to put together a positive run on the field, which sees them coming into this World Cup as one of the teams hoping for some favours.

With leading batsman Chris Gayle struggling to find his best form and experienced players Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo both omitted by the selectors, captain Jason Holder can only hope that someone else can step-up.

Speaking about the “huge loss” of Bravo and Pollard, Holder said: “They are two players who have done well in world cricket.

“But it’s out of our control. Not having them would be a huge loss to any side. But it’s beyond our control and we have to accept it and move on.”

In terms of Gayle’s struggles, the 22-year-old added: “Chris is big player for any team he plays for.

“He’s a world beater. He’s been a top batsman for us for a number of years. We just want him to be his normal self and get the best out of him.

“I have built a relationship with some of the senior players. Being captain has not been that difficult thus far.

“We didn’t do too well in South Africa but we didn’t have our full-strength team out there. I have a good relationship with all the guys.”

Meanwhile, Ireland won the toss and surprising have decided to bowl first, despite all the winners so far at the tournament are the ones who have put up the runs first.

Captain William Porterfield believes there is something in the pitch for early seam bowling and he is already planning to limit the Caribbean side’s free scoring by targeting an out of touch Gayle from the first ball.

Trinidad and Tobago’s wicketkeeper/batsman Denesh Ramdin will lead the Caribbean side out after he was appointed captain – taking the place of all-rounder Darren Sammy, who retired from Test cricket earlier this year.

This will also be a special game for the hard hitting opening batsman Chris Gayle, who is well set to play in his 100th Test.

“It is a special moment for myself, Chris Gayle and the West Indian people,” Ramdin said ahead of the game on Saturday.

“The pitch looks like a good one. If we play consistent cricket for the next five days I think it is going to be a good result.”

It seems also that Ramdin has made up his mind about what he wants to do first.

“Whichever captain wins the toss will bat,” the new skipper said. “It looks like a good one. Putting runs on the board first will be good for our batting unit.

“[We will] try to bat out the entire day which we haven’t been doing in the past.”

New Zealand got the better of the West Indies, 2-0, when these two teams last met in a three match series in November and tourists will be hoping to do the same thing away from home this time out.

SQUADS:

WEST INDIES – Denesh Ramdin (captain), Sulieman Benn, Kraigg Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Shiv Chanderpaul, Kirk Edwards, Shannon Gabriel, Chris Gayle, Kieran Powell, Kemar Roach, Marlon Samuels, Shane Shillingford, Jerome Taylor, Jason Holder.

NEW ZEALAND –  Brendon McCullum, Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Mark Craig, Peter Fulton, Tom Latham, James Neesham, Luke Ronchi, Hamish Rutherford, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, BJ Watling and Kane Williamson.

T20 ICC World Tournament: Bangladesh v West Indies on ESPN3

By:Sports Desk Published on: March 25, 2014 6:23 am Leave a Comment

Dhaka, Bangladesh – Defending champions West Indies will look to rebound from their opening Group 2 game at the ICC World Twenty20 against India when they take on hosts Bangladesh in the Super 10 stage on Tuesday.

Bangladesh v West Indies on ESPN3
20th Match Scoreboard, Group 2: Bangladesh v West Indies at Dhaka

The Windies were beaten by seven wickets by India in their tournament opener on Sunday and Bangladesh, which scraped through the Super 10 stage, will want to kickstart their campaign with a win against a very strong West Indies side.

The ICC takes a look at the key facts, approaching milestones and key battles in the upcoming game:

Key Facts:

The teams have met four times before in T20Is, winning two matches apiece. Bangladesh won the previous ICC World Twenty20 clash, at Johannesburg in September 2007.

Zimbabwe is the only ICC Full Member over whom Bangladesh has a better win percentage (won two and lost one).

Marlon Samuels has scored 170 runs in three T20I innings against Bangladesh, at a strike rate of 171.7.

Shakib Al Hasan and Abdur Razzak have both taken 42 wickets in 31 T20I innings. They are Bangladesh’s leading T20I wicket-takers.

Shakib is one of four players to score ___ ?? matches. 300 runs and take 15 wickets in ICC World Twenty20.

Approaching Milestones:

Chris Gayle needs two fours to reach 100 fours in T20Is. He has hit 68 sixes in his 37 innings.

Anamul Haque needs six runs to become the second player after Aaron Finch to score 200 T20I runs in 2014.

Mahmudullah is in line to become the fifth player to represent Bangladesh 30 times in T20Is.

Key Battles:

Bangladesh v West Indies – Anamul Haque v Marlon Samuels 

Both Anamul Haque and Marlon Samuels enjoy batting in Bangladesh. Anamul has played all six of his T20Is on home soil and has crossed the 20-run every time, helping him to become the leading T20I run-scorer in Bangladesh.

His 216 runs have come at an average of 43.2 and strike rate of 137.6. He has been in fine touch in this tournament, scoring 112 runs in three knocks, with two dismissals.

Samuels has reserved some of his best T20I batting for Bangladesh. He smashed his career best score of 85 not out on the same ground this match will be played on, off just 43 balls.

That innings in December 2012 contained nine sixes and might make him the wicket Bangladesh most want since Chris Gayle has rarely prospered against them in any format.
