West Indies veteran Jason Holder delivered a match-winning all-round performance to lead his side to a dramatic victory over Pakistan in the second T20I, leveling the three-match series 1-1. Despite recent struggles and a spate of injuries within the squad, Holder remains steadfast in his commitment to West Indies cricket, saying he has a `burning desire to make a change` and continues to love representing his country.
Holder’s heroics were on full display in a tense chase that came down to the final delivery. With six runs needed from two balls and just three wickets in hand, the 33-year-old held his nerve to smash a boundary off the last ball, securing a memorable win for the hosts. He remained unbeaten on 16 off 10 balls, including a crucial four and six under pressure.
