St Lucia: West Indies showed the world, who the bosses of T20 are when they defeated Australia 4-1 in a 5-match T20I series. What stole the show was a one-handed catch by Fabian Allen.
Allen dismissed the dangerous Aaron Finch on Hayden Walsh's bowling. Finch was looking dangerous and had he stayed at the crease, the result might have looked different for the Windies. It was in the 10th over of the match when Walsh tossed the ball up to Finch who hit it powerfully down the ground. It looked like the ball would fall short of the long-on fielder (Fabian Allen) who was placed a little wide but to everyone's surprise, Allen took the blinder and helped dismiss the Australian captain.
Take a look at the catch here:
Earlier in the match, West Indies won the toss and chose to bat first. The series was already won by the Windies so there was no pressure on the Caribbean side. Except Even Lewis' 71, no player did a major contribution. All of them teed off, but none of them made an impact but still West Indies managed to reach a challenging total of 199. Australia came out to bat and showed some promise. It was an unlikely economical spell by Chris Gayle that provided West Indies with breathing space. Cottrell and Russell took advantage of the situation and took the wickets.
West Indies eventually defeated Australia by 16 runs. With this performance, WI has shown the world that they still have in them to be the best in T20Is.
