England fast bowler Saqib Mahmood continues to impress in the Caribbean, showcasing his powerplay prowess in the T20 series against West Indies. While he revels in his white-ball success, Mahmood maintains his desire to return to red-ball cricket, fueled by a strong performance and his new contract with Lancashire.
Jos Buttler’s explosive 83 and a crucial partnership with Will Jacks powered England to a dominant 7-wicket victory over the West Indies in the first T20I. England’s bowlers, led by Saqib Mahmood and Jofra Archer, dismantled the West Indies batting order early, setting up a comfortable chase for the visitors.
Oval Invincibles defended their The Hundred title with a thrilling 17-run victory over Southern Brave, while London Spirit claimed the women’s trophy with a last-ball six from Deepti Sharma. Saqib Mahmood’s crucial three-wicket burst proved decisive for Invincibles, while Sharma’s heroics secured victory for Spirit in a tense final.
