The West Indies had set England a target of 180 to win after hitting 179/4, with captain Kieron Pollard top scoring for the hosts with 41 from 25 balls.
Jason Holder shattered England’s hopes of T20 success on Sunday (January 30) with four wickets in the final four balls to lead the West Indies to a 17-run victory in Barbados and clinch a 3-2 series win over the tourists. Holder bowled Saqib Mahmood to become only the fourth player to claim four wickets in four balls in T20 history having already secured the scalps of Chris Jordan, Sam Billings and Adil Rashid in consecutive balls.
“Classic finish,” Holder said, according to ESPNcricinfo website. “Not the best of starts but (we were) just trying to stay in the game. People are seeing what I can do and giving me the responsibility. Every time I step on the field it’s about what I can deliver for the team.”
