Jason Holder shines with a four-wicket haul, leading West Indies to victory against Nepal in the T20 World Cup.
After going wicketless against England, Jason Holder made optimum use of the conditions at the Wankhede Stadium and guided the West Indies to the Super Eights of the T20 World Cup with a four-wicket haul against Nepal.

“Yeah, it was a bit up and down. But I will take it. Getting four wickets in a World Cup can be a bit special, and to be able to do it today was good,” Holder said.

We knew we had to come up really hard in this game and make sure we started the game really well,” Holder said.
