West Indies’ Holder takes four England wickets in four balls to settle T20 series in favor of West Indies!! Jason Holder took a sledgehammer to England’s victory chase by taking four wickets in the final four balls to seal victory by 17 runs. In doing so he became the fourth bowler in international T20 history to take four wickets in as many balls, bringing a frequently thrilling series to a jaw-dropping conclusion. Adil Rashid observed afterwards that England’s problem was that “we just lost too many wickets in clusters”, but this was taking the problem to its logical extreme. “I thought to restrict them to 179, we were pretty pleased with that,” Rashid said, “but with the bat we just didn’t have enough partnerships.”

West Indies’ Holder takes four England wickets in four balls to settle T20 series in favor of West Indies!! England started the final over needing 20 to win, and when Holder’s first act was to deliver a front-foot no-ball the tourists’ task seemed achievable. But from that moment on every player who got bat on ball only succeeded in lifting it to a fielder as Chris Jordan, Sam Billings and Rashid fell, before Saqib Mahmood was bowled to end proceedings with a ball to spare. After a disappointing first match these teams had delivered a succession of compelling and high-quality contests before reaching the closing stages of the series simply refusing to be prised apart, tied as they were at 2-2 after four matches and with England, as West Indies had been earlier in the evening, at 86-2 after 10 overs. But while the hosts lost rhythm in the following phase of their innings, the tourists lost wickets.
