Carlos Brathwaite has the knack of coming good for his team the West Indies in big match situations. He did it for them in the finals of ICC World T20 2016 when he hit Stokes for four consecutive sixes to win the match and trophy for his team.
He showed that same spirit against New Zealand in their most recent match in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 as they were chasing a formidable 292 to win against a potent bowling attack. Hope, Pooran and captain Holder got out for cheap runs, but Gayle (87) and Hetmyer (54) kept the hopes alive until they both got out and New Zealand breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Carlos Brathwaite had other thoughts as he slaughtered the Kiwi bowling on his way to his first ODI ton in just 81 balls with 9 fours and 5 sixes. With 8 runs needed off the last two overs, Brathwaite went for glory shot, knowing that they didn’t have any more wickets in hand, but was caught brilliantly on the boundary by Boult off Neesham and West Indies fell just 5 runs short.
But the cricket fraternity was amazed and applauded Brathwaite for his amazing spirit and innings and we have the best tweets for you.
