Mohammed has scores of 13, 8, 2 and 11 in the international scene.
Even after having Australia 45/6, the hosts failed to finish the game as the lower-order Australian batters took their team to a respectable total of 187. While batting, the Men in Maroon were reduced to 46/3 with Jason Mohammed failing to get going.
After the match, the West Indies captain Kieron Pollard addressed the situation with Jason Mohammed, who had shown great form in the Super50 but couldn’t quite continue in international cricket.
“The fight was great from our boys. Pooran has been looking like his own self again. Both him and Holder scrapped through for us. It is a catch-22 situation with Mohammed. He has done well in the Super50. Chase does that anchor role well for us. We will look at it as a team and look to get better in the next few games,” Pollard said during the post-match presentation.
The right-hand batsman then talked about conceding one too many runs considering the start they had in their bowling innings.
“When you start a cricket match you want to win. We have some work to do. I don't think we put out foot on the accelerator. Our batters didn't make it easy for us as well. Looks like we don't like to do things the easy way. The spinners were brilliant. The bowlers were brilliant,” the 34-year-old said.
“180-190 was disappointing and that is how I would like to sum it up. I just think it's the opposition, Australia is Australia. Only one guy is missing from their bowling lineup, Pat Cummins,” he added.
