(19-1). Then again Arshdeep strikes in his next over and this time he gets the wicket of Brandon King. King departed after making 18 runs. (54-2).
Then India gets the big wicket of Pooran. Kuldeep uses his googly to get him. It’s a big relief for the Indian team so they get Pooran cheaply. Pooran made only 1 run. (55-3). In that same over, Kuldeep again strikes by dismissing the Caribbean Captain. His googly again did the work and got the wicket of Powell. Powell also scored 1 run only. (57-4).
After that Hope and Hetmyer put together 49 runs for the 5th wicket. And Hope was looking in this short format. He scored 45 runs in 29 balls including 3 fours and 2 sixes. Chahal gets him and a bit of relief for him as he was going with heavy runs in his spell, this might probably help him. (106-5). Shepherd was the next man dismissed and Axar got him. Just that ball before Shepherd hits a six and tries that same shot again but he missed it and Samson caught that. (118-6).
In the next over, and Mukesh Kumar’s first he got the wicket of Holder. Holder was a little unlucky as the ball kissed his pad and went to the stumps. Holder scored only 3 runs. (123-7). Hetmyer before this tries to keep himself calm but after that he shows his destructiveness and hits his 4th fifty in a T20 international. He was just hitting all around the ground. He was dismissed in the last over by Arshdeep. Hetmyer scored 61 runs in 39 deliveries which includes 3 fours and 4 sixes. (167-8).
