💥 Inglis and Green Turn It On

After a shaky start chasing 162, Josh Inglis walked in like a man on a mission. With poise and precision, Inglis crafted an unbeaten 78 off 47 balls, anchoring the innings beautifully. At the other end, Cameron Green played the perfect supporting act, smashing 56 not out off 34 deliveries. Their record-breaking 3rd-wicket partnership made the chase look ridiculously easy, finishing the match with 28 balls to spare.

🫡 Russell’s Farewell Fireworks

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Andre Russellfinal international match, made his last appearance memorable with a 17-ball 36-run cameo. He thrilled the Kingston crowd one last time with his signature sixes and powerful strokes. While the match didn’t go West Indies’ way, Russell’s legacy as one of the game’s fiercest finishers remains intact.

📉 Windies Falter Despite Bright Moments
