West Indies stole the show on Day 8 of the Cricket World Cup with a 150-run mauling of Pakistan. That was before Australia’s clash with Bangladesh was called without a ball being bowled due to persistent heavy rain in Brisbane.
After losing their opening fixture in this tournament to Ireland, it was imperative that Jason Holder’s team stepped up to the plate in their most recent clash. And the Caribbean islanders turned in a multi-faceted display, as a combination of exemplary batting and fierce bowling proved to be too much for a hapless Pakistan outfit.
Lendl Simmons shone with the bat for the Windies, while Jerome Taylor dazzled with the new ball. But the man of the match was Andre Russell, as he played vital roles in both of the aforementioned disciplines.
Here’s a look at how the Windies’ win affects some of the overall individual standings and a detailed examination of some of the finest performances as we move into the second week of what’s been an enthralling tournament to date.
