Powell Hails Windies T20 Sweep of South Africa

Captain of the West Indies T20 team, Rovman Powell, says it’s a good feeling to gift the people of the Caribbean a 3-0 series win.

Powell made the comment following the Windies eight wicket win under the Duckworth/Lewis Method over South Africa in their final game at the Brian Lara Stadium, on Tuesday.

The West Indies were asked to get 116 in a game reduced to 13 overs per side due to rain. The Caribbean team achieved the target losing two wickets and with 22 balls to spare.

Shai Hope was left unbeaten on 42, Nicholas Pooran went for 35, while Shimron Hetmyer was 31 not out.

Earlier Tristan Stubbs slammed 40 in South Africa’s 108 for 4 in their 13 overs against Romario Shepherd 2 for 18.

Powell who ceded the captaincy in Tuesday’s game to Roston Chase, says they were happy to entertain the home fans.

Powell says the series forms part of their preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

He says it’s a special feeling to showcase a period of dominance over a strong opponent.
