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.

Earlier, Holder had starred with the ball, returning career-best figures of 4 for 19 to dismantle Pakistan’s middle order. In doing so, he surpassed Dwayne Bravo to become West Indies’ leading wicket-taker in men’s T20Is, with 81 scalps to his name. He also took two catches, further underlining his impact in all facets of the game.
