West Indies’ star batter Nicholas Pooran scripted history by scoring 36 runs in just one over during the T20 World Cup 2024 Group Group C match against Afghanistan at the Daren Sammy Stadium in Gros Islet.

Nicholas Pooran impressed one and all with his stunning batting display as he smashed the Afghan bowlers to all the corners of the ground and powered his side to a 104-run win.

Notably, Pooran achieved this historic feat with the help of five wides, four leg byes, and a no-ball bowled by Afghanistan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai in the fourth over of the Windies’ innings.

Afganistan’s Omarzai started his over with a full and wide delivery, which Pooran smashed for a six over the third man. In the next ball, Omarzai overstepped and it was hit for a boundary. Things kept getting bad to worse for Omarzai as his next ball went for five wides.

Yes, you read that right. It was an attempted bouncer that flew over the keeper’s head. The free hit stayed, making it more difficult for Omarzai, however, Nicholas Poora failed to make the best of it.

Luck was truly against the Afghans as the third legitimate delivery of the over clipped Pooran’s pads and went for four leg byes, beating the keeper. Pooran smashed a four and two sixes off the remaining three balls of the over to etch his name on the history books.

Meanwhile, several records were broken during the West Indies vs Afghanistan match at the Daren Sammy Stadium in Gros Islet.
