The Hindu
Levels T20I series 1-1 with one-run win over West Indies
England held its nerve in the face of a late assault by Akeal Hosein and Romario Shepherd to secure a one-run victory over the West Indies in Bridgetown on Sunday and level their five-match T20I series at 1-1.
Chasing 172 to win, West Indies lost seven wickets for 65 runs before big hitting by Hosein (44 n.o., 16b) and Shepherd (44 n.o., 28b) took their team to 170 for eight in 20 overs.
West Indies had needed 30 runs off the final over, bowled by Saqib Mahmood, and Hosein almost got it there by smashing 28, including three sixes off the last three balls.
