WI vs SL 1st T20: Today was my day, says Kieron Pollard after hitting 6 sixes

Chasing 132, the hosts got off to a blazing start as the openers Evin Lewis and Lendl Simmons put on 52 runs in the very first three overs. Sri Lanka staged an emphatic comeback as spinner Akila Dananjaya took a hat-trick in the fourth over to send back Lewis (28), Chris Gayle (0), and Nicholas Pooran (0). Skipper Pollard provided real entertainment in the sixth over as he dispatched Dananjaya for six 6s in over and the hosts’ score read 98/4 after the conclusion of the sixth over.

In Pics: Pollard becomes 2nd man to hit six sixes in over in T20 international

West Indies captain Kieron Pollard achieved a rare record on Thursday (March 4, India time) when he smashed Sri Lanka off-spinner Akila Dananjaya for six consecutive sixes in an over. Pollard became only the second man after India's Yuvraj Singh to achieve this record in T20 internationals. Thanks to Pollard's swashbuckling 11-ball 38 and useful knocks by Evin Lewis and Jason Holder, West Indies cruised to the 131-run target in just over 13 overs in spite of a hat-trick by Dananjaya. Here we take a look at the action-packed first T20 between West Indies and Sri Lanka in Antigua.
