In the last over, the Windies pacer first caught the wicket of Chris Jordan over the fence, followed soon after by Sam Billings before a golden duck for Adil Rashid and Saqib Mahmood.
Fast bowler Jason Holder took the team’s last over with four wickets in four balls. England’s run chase West Indies won the fifth Twenty20 match by 17 runs to take the series 3-2.
West Indies won the toss and elected to bat at Kensington Oval and scored 179-4. In reply, England were all out for 162 with a ball to spare after entering the final over 160-6 and needed 20 runs to win.
In that last over, Holder first caught the wicket of Chris Jordan (7) at the fence, shortly thereafter followed by the dismissal of Sam Billings (41 off 28 balls) before golden ducks for Adil Rashid and Saqib Mahmood.
Holder joined a special club when Mahmood’s inside edge hit the leg-stump. Lasith Malinga, Rashid Khan and Curtis Camper are the only other bowlers in men’s cricket to have taken four for four in a T20 International.
Holder did not get a chance to take five wickets in five balls and there was no England batsman left. The all-rounder scored 5-27 runs in 2.5 overs.
James Vince scored 55 off 35 for England, but was one of the four wickets from left-arm spinner Akil Hossein. Hussain scored 4-30 runs in four overs.
Earlier, West Indies were let down by the England spinners but captain Kieron Pollard (41 not out on 25) and Rovman Powell (35 not out on 17) put on an undefeated partnership of 74 runs in five overs to give the hosts an England victory. Proper goal setting.
The pair played a tremendous innings of 66 runs in the last 24 balls.
Rashid (2-17) surpassed Jordan as England’s men’s leading T20 wicket-taker with 81 career wickets. Liam Livingstone collected similar figures as the pair and fellow spinner Moeen Ali scored just 54 runs in their 10 overs, with the England pace being repeatedly targeted by the West Indies.
