This Pooran is some player. He was at his devastating best in the MLC final. Destroyed the opposition with some of the cleanest hitting and he has started off on that note again here. Such a destructive player in T20s.

5.4 Axar to Pooran, SIX, wow! What a shot. Was a length and quicker outside off, just a step forward and belts it across the line, way back into the stands at deep mid-wicket. 92-metre hit

5.5 Axar to Pooran, FOUR, Axar comes round the wicket but nothing changes. There was a deep mid-wicket in too, but Pooran slogsweeps wide of him. No fear batting this

WI: 54-2 after 6 overs

Pooran stops Hardik as there is movement behind the bowler's arm. Since the powerplay is done, will Pooran continue to go for it?

Hardik Pandya, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

WI: 57-2 after 7 overs
