Akeal Hosein's dumbfounded reactions to Rovman Powell's six

Rovman Powell smacked a monstrous 104-meter six that landed outside the stadium when the West Indies clashed against Zimbabwe on Wednesday [October 19] at the Blundstone Arena in Bellerive.

This happened in the third ball of the 20th over bowled by Blessing Murzarabani. When Powell smashed it over the mid-wicket, along with the crowd, even Akeal Hosein, who was standing in the non-striker’s end simply couldn’t believe what he just witnessed.

West Indies vs Zimbabwe match recap

Rovman Powell
Alzarri Joseph

Talking about the match, West Indies first put on 153/7 in their 20 overs. Johnson Charles scored a much-needed 45 runs off 36 balls.

Alzarri Joseph broke Zimbabwe’s back with his four-wicket haul. He conceded 16 runs in his four overs at an economy of 4. Zimbabwe batters failed to reach the 30-run mark and eventually got all out on 122 in 18.2 overs. West Indies won the match by 31 runs, and their bowler Joseph was awarded the Player of the Match.

“So I was just thinking of coming in and doing something special, which I would have needed to,” said Joseph after the match. “I’ve put a lot of work in on the yorker because if you can bowl the yorker at different stages of the game, it can really surprise the oppositio. I wouldn’t yet say I’ve mastered it, though.”

West Indies have so far won one and lost one match. They first suffered a 42-run defeat against Scotland but recovered and went on to win this match. The former T20 World Cup champions will face Ireland on Friday, October 21.
