Hobart: West Indies got victory in the match of do or die on Wednesday in the T20 World in Australia. If the team had lost to Zimbabwe today after a mouthful in the first match against Scotland, then the journey would have ended in Round-1 of the tournament itself. Batting first after winning the toss, the Caribbean team put 153/7 on the scoreboard. In reply, Zimbabwe’s team was all out for 122 runs in 18.2 overs. A strange incident happened in the first innings of this match when two Caribbean batsmen got entangled.
It is the matter of the first innings, when West Indies batsman Johnson Charles was run out for 45 runs off 36 balls. The run out was due to confusion with Rovman Powell. While running, Charles completely lost his balance and slipped and fell, helping the Zimbabwe team to an easy run out. Opener Charles was holding one end while wickets were falling continuously from the other end.
On the last ball of the 13th over, Powell cut a short and wide delivery from Shaun Williams at backward point and went back after taking a step or two, but by then Charles at the non-striking end had run out to run. Were. As soon as he realized that Powell did not want to run, he had to turn back, but collapsed in a hurry.
The fielder threw the ball to Williams at the non-striker’s end, thus ending Charles’ innings. Due to the refusal after the call, the fault here will be considered as Rovman Powell’s. He was seen staring at Charles despite his teammate being run out by taking a wrong call. Powell’s reaction was also caught on camera. However, the contribution of Powell in this victory of West Indies cannot be denied, who scored 28 runs in 21 balls including two sixes in the last over.
