Shai Hope’s unbeaten 61 and Jason Holder’s four-wicket haul helped West Indies defeat Nepal by nine wickets in the T20 World Cup. The convincing win made them the first team to qualify for the Super Eights stage

In the match, the West Indies won the toss and surprisingly chose to bat first, deviating from their usual strategy.

Top West Indies players like their white-ball captain Kieron Pollard, Jason Holder, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, and Fabien Allen were a part of IPL

Holder backed up that decision with his eighth five-wicket bag in tests, completed in 17.4 overs.

Brathwaite, who has previously led the team in seven Tests whilst deputising for Holder, including the recent 2-0 Test series win away to Bangladesh, becomes the 37th Test captain of the West Indies.

Holder first led SRH's brilliant bowling effort with figures of 3 for 25 to restrict batting-heavy RCB to a modest 131 for seven before he and Williamson steered SRH past the target with two balls to spare
