The main highlight of the innings was Pooran’s entry into elite list of batters, who smashed 36 runs in an over in a World Cup match.

The memorable feat achieved in the fourth over, when Nicholas Pooran unleashed his fury on Afghanistan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai. Pooran, who scored 26 runs with the bat, was helped by the five wides, four leg byes and a no-ball.

This was the second time in 2024 that 36 runs were scored in an over against Afghanistan.

Apart from this, WIndies registered the record for the highest powerplay score in the history of the T20 World Cup.

Pooran and hometown hero Johnson Charles (43 off 27 balls) accelerated at supersonic speed in lifting the total to 92-1 by the sixth over.

They scored 92 in the first six overs and surpassed the previous record of 91 runs set by the Netherlands against Ireland in 2014 in Bangladesh’s Sylhet International Stadium.
