Shemaine Campbelle played the knock of her life to power the West Indies to a seven-wicket win over defending champions New Zealand in their first match of the T20 World Cup at the Hampshire Bowl yesterday.
Seventeen years since making her T20I debut, after over 150 matches, Campbelle finally found her place in the sun. With her team's hopes hanging in the balance, the 33-year-old scored her first T20I half-century, finishing at an unbeaten 90 as West Indies overhauled New Zealand's 162/6 with a ball to spare.
With that, West Indies avenged the semi-final defeat at the 2024 T20 World Cup.
