Jason Holder's Heroics Lead West Indies to Thrilling Victory

Jason Holder emerged as the hero for West Indies, claiming four crucial wickets and hitting a boundary off the final ball to secure a dramatic two-wicket victory over Pakistan, leveling the three-match T20 series.

The veteran allrounder's inspired spell restricted Pakistan to 133 for nine, creating an opportunity for West Indies' batters to clinch their first T20 win in seven matches. Gudakesh Motie and Romario Shepherd provided vital runs late in the innings, keeping the chase alive until Holder's decisive boundary against Shahid Shah Afridi.

West Indies captain Shai Hope expressed satisfaction, hoping this win signifies a turning point after weeks of struggle. The final match of the series is set to take place in Lauderhill before the ODI series begins in the Caribbean.
