Kieron Pollard and Nicholas Pooran, who are the captain and vice-captain of the West Indies white-ball teams, found themselves on the opposite sides during the ongoing T10 Blast in Trinidad. Their teams Leatherback Giants and Scarlet Ibis Scorchers clashed which saw a face-off between the two.

During the match, Pollard was seen bowling off-spin against Windies teammate Nicholas Pooran. The left-handed batter too tried to carry an experiment of his own as he switched to a right-handed batter's stance while Pollard was on his run-up.

However, Pollard stopped midway in his bowling action and tried to intimidate Pooran and after a staredown, threw the ball at the batter. This battle between the two didn’t end there, as later on, Pollard tried to mankad Pooran, while he was standing at the non-striker's end. 

The contest was eventually won by the Leatherbacks, who defeated Pollard's Scarlet Ibis Scorchers by 9 wickets. Scorchers posted a challenging 128/3 in their 10 overs, with Pollard smashing 27 off 14 balls. In response, Pooran returned unbeaten on 101 off 37 deliveries, which included six 4s and ten 6s. Leatherbacks defeated Scorchers by 9 wickets.
