Shai Hope Joins Sir Vivian Richards and Virat Kohli in Elite List As West Indies Defeat England by Four Wickets in 1st ODI, Lead Series 1–0
The West Indies captain achieved a major milestone of his career when he levelled the cricket great as the Caribbean side secured a big win over England in the ODI series opener. West Indies had not qualified for the ICC World Cup that took place last month where England also had a poor campaign.
Captain Shai Hope led from the front with the bat as West Indies pulled off a memorable four-wicket victory against England in the 1st ODI of the three-match series on December 3. Hope scored a scintillating 109* off 83 balls to help the West Indies chase down a 325-run target set by England. The right-hander, in this innings, also levelled Sir Vivian Richards' record of becoming the joint fastest West Indies to score 5000 ODI runs. Additionally, he is also the joint third fastest player along with Richards and Virat Kohli to get to the feat. Earlier, England batted first and Harry Brook top-scored with 71 runs off 72 balls to take the former world champions to a stiff total. For West Indies, the best bowler was Gudakesh Motie, who picked up figures of 2/49. Ouch! Nathan Ellis' Shot Hits Umpire On the Crotch During IND vs AUS 5th T20I 2023, Picture Goes Viral!
