Holder Leads West Indies Bowling Domination
Jason Holder set the tone early in the West Indies vs Nepal T20 World Cup match with disciplined pace bowling. He claimed 4 for 27 and broke Nepal’s resistance at crucial moments. Meanwhile, Matthew Forde created pressure with the new ball and restricted scoring during the powerplay.
Akeal Hosein struck first by removing Kushal Bhurtel, continuing his dominance in that matchup. Soon after, Forde trapped Rohit Paudel lbw and delivered a wicket maiden. Consequently, Nepal slumped to 22 for 3 inside six overs — the lowest powerplay total of the tournament.
Although Dipendra Singh Airee fought hard with a gritty 58, Holder returned at the death to finish the innings strongly. Therefore, Nepal managed only 133 for 8, which never looked threatening.
