Gros-Islet: Shimron Hetmyer led a formidable West Indies batting effort on the way to a comfortable 56-run victory and a 2-0 lead over Australia in the second T20 International of their five-match series at the Daren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia on Saturday.
Hetmyer’s 61 off 36 balls with four sixes and two fours paced the home side to 196 for four after they were sent in to bat yet again by visiting captain Aaron Finch. He received excellent support from veteran all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who contributed an unbeaten 47 to a 103-run fourth-wicket partnership.

Australia’s pursuit of a formidable target stuttered from the start with the loss of Matthew Wade to the second ball of their chase and despite a second consecutive half-century from Mitchell Marsh, they fell well sport in being dismissed for 140.
Leg-spinner Hayden Walsh grabbed three wickets for the second night in a row with the tourists’ lower-order crumbling in a heap yet again to leave them in a must-win situation going into the third match on Monday at the same venue.
