IML: Simmons Masterclass Helps West Indies Masters Crush Australia By 7 Wickets
DY Patil Sports Stadium: Lendl Simmons aggressive 44-ball undefeated 94 overpowered Shane Watson's 48-ball century and helped the West Indies Masters outclass the Australia Masters by 7 wickets in the inaugural International Masters League (IML) at the DY Patil Sports Stadium.
Continuing the trend of producing high-scoring matches in the IML, the sizeable crowd at the stadium was treated to Watson’s signature strokes, adding a touch of nostalgia after West Indian batting great Brian Lara elected to field on winning the toss.
The 43-year-old Watson never looked as if he had left playing, as he treated the West Indies bowlers with disdain, to notch up his half-century off a mere 27 balls and consumed another 21 deliveries for his next fifty. In the process, Watson was also involved in a couple of big partnerships that set the tone for the massive target.
