Keywords: Akeal Hosein, Uganda, T20I, West Indies

Rising West Indian star Akeal Hosein unleashed a devastating spell of spin bowling to decimate the Ugandan batting lineup in the opening T20I of the three-match series.

Playing at the Coolidge Cricket Ground, Antigua, the 23-year-old left-arm spinner ripped through Uganda’s middle order, claiming 4-13 in his allotted four overs. Uganda’s hopes crumbled as wickets fell in quick succession, with Hosein trapping opener Simon Ssesazi and middle-order batsman Riazat Ali Khan in front of the stumps.

Uganda struggled to chase the West Indies’ imposing total of 179-4, bowled out for a mere 95 runs in 17.3 overs. Hosein’s remarkable performance earned him the Player of the Match award, further solidifying his reputation as one of the brightest young talents in world cricket.

The series victory marks a significant moment for West Indies cricket, as the team continues to build towards the ICC T20 World Cup later this year. Hosein’s exceptional display of spin bowling provides a timely boost to the team’s confidence, as they prepare to face the challenges ahead.

With two more matches to play in the series, Hosein and his West Indian teammates will be looking to maintain their dominance and further strengthen their position in the T20I rankings. As the battle continues, Akeal Hosein’s impressive form will undoubtedly be a key factor in determining the outcome.
