Swashbuckling Dwayne Smith delivered his most defining knock before his home fans and Fidel Edwards put the icing on the cake with lightning pace that propelled West Indies to a 14-run victory and a 1-1 draw of the Twenty20 series with Australia at Kensington Oval yesterday.
It was fitting that the two hometown boys produced the goods before a buoyant, sell-out crowd.
The flamboyant Smith lashed 63 from 34 deliveries, his first half-century in a T20 International and the high point in West Indies’ total of 160. Then Edwards (3/23) put Australia on the back foot with his pace.
