T20 World Cup: Powell credits Hosein’s ‘wicket to wicket’ bowling for thumping win over Uganda

Georgetown (Guyana), June 9 (IANS) West Indies captain Rovman Powell has credited spinner Akeal Hosein for bagging 5-11 against Uganda in the T20 World Cup clash and guiding the side to thumping 134-run win at Providence Stadium on Sunday (as per IST).
Co-host Windies have won both their Group C matches in the tournament so far. In the opening match, they outclassed Papua New Guinea by five wickets to open their campaign on high.After setting the total of 173/5 in 20 overs, Hosein’s five-wicket haul bundled out the newcomers to 39 all out in 12 overs. The no. 3 ranked T20I bowler wreaked havoc from his first over and dismantled Uganda’s batting order in his four-over spell. Other bowlers also joined the party and made their contribution in the rout.Barring Juma Miyagi (13*), no other batter was able to stand on the crease for more than 10 balls.”Credit to Akeal, no wonder why he is the number 3 ranked bowler in this format. He has done the same against top sides as well. He bowled wicket to wicket and did his job.
