While defending a total of 20 runs in the penultimate 20th over of the fifth T20I match, West Indies pacer Jason Holder held his nerves remarkably well. He first dismissed Chris Jordan off the second delivery of the over and then got the better of the dangerous Sam Billings to almost seal the proceedings for the hosts. Holder removed Adil Rashid on the fourth ball to become the first West Indies player to take a hat-trick in T20Is. The Windies right-arm speedster didn’t stop till then as he even dismissed Saqib Mahmood taking his fourth consecutive wicket in a single over and registered a sensational double hat-trick to take his side over the line.
