Kiwis Consoling Crestfallen Carlos Brathwaite:
Windies T20 World Cup hero Carlos Brathwaite had a moment to become a hero once again. But Trent Boult didn’t let it happen by taking a sensation catch at the boundary ropes on the bowling of Jimmy Neesham.
The muscular all-rounder had almost pulled off a miraculous win at the Old Trafford on 22nd June when they were reeling at 164 for seven.
Braithwaite had put an outstanding show by slamming 82-ball 101, but agonisingly fell short of just five runs when the Windies were all-out for 286 in 49 overs.
Batting first, the Black Caps put 291 for eight on the board.
Soon after witnessing Boult had taken a superb catch, Brathwaite was on his knees before Kiwis players walked up to him to console. Kane Williamson had patted on Brathwaite’s back, so as, Ross Taylors.
Besides, other Kiwis players had acknowledged his brilliance with the bat.
