Shimron Hetmyer was happy that his efforts led West Indies to win. “It was one of my best innings. I was hitting quite well, it quite worked out. My role is to bat as deep as possible. I didn’t do anything different, just did the same thing like last game, the partnerships were important. I was looking to bat deep and give a the gutsy chance to bat at the other end. I’m trying to bat well and finish off the innings as well. I have never batted with him before, nice to bat with him, he was just telling me to keep going and do what I did best and allowed me to trust myself,” Shimron Hetmyer said.
WI vs AUS 2nd T20: West Indies beat Australia: Aaron Finch’s Australia were in trouble early as they lost Matthew Wade on duck in the 1st over. Soon, Aaron Finch departed as well. While Mitchell Marsh once again scored a half-century to give Australia a fighting chance, the others did not do well as tehy were bowled out for 140.
This was the second time since 2010 that Australia have been bowled out for the second consecutive time in the T20Is. Like the 1st T20, Australia again lost far too many wickets quickly. If they lost seven wickets for 38 runs yesterday, on Sunday they lost 7 wickets for 39 runs. From 101/3, they were bowled out for 140. However, with a day’s break, Aaron Finch said the team will look to come back.
WI vs AUS 2nd T20: West Indies beat Australia:
“The wicket didn’t change throughout, it played pretty well. When your two openers get out early, it puts a lot of pressure on the middle order. The 100-plus partnership between Hetmyer and Bravo proved to be the difference. It’s always tough to bowl to a left-right combination, especially with the wind blowing like that. We will look to come back well. Need to win 3 more games to win the series, we will keep working hard,” Aaron Finch said after the match.
