West Indies Beat World XI

Lords, June 01: West Indies defeated World XI by 72 runs in the Hurricane Relief T20 fund-raiser at Lord’s here on Friday.

It was a tremendous performance by the west indies as they first perfectly shined with the bat to score 199/4 in 20 overs and then went on to defend the target successfully.

Evin Lewis top-scored with 58 while the others chipped in with equal contributions. In reply, World XI never get going as they lost early wickets. Thisara Perera was the only batsman to score a fifty before WXI were bowled out for 127.

Chasing a stiff target of 200, Afridi-led World XI lost early wickets and failed to recover from thereon, while Thisara Perera significantly made career-best 61 to minimize the margin of defeat. They were ultimately dismissed for 127 as West Indies comfortably won the match.

Afridi donated USD 20,000 to hurricane relief from his foundation, while all the players donated their match fees to the charity.
