International Masters League T20 2025: Simmons overshadows Watson’s century, powers West Indies to 7-wicket win

The Hindu  

Shane Watson’s 48-ball century was overshadowed by an equally aggressive 44-ball undefeated 94 from Lendl Simmons that helped West Indies Masters outclass Australia Masters by 7 wickets in the second match of the International Masters League at the DY Patil Sports Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Monday. The sizeable crowd at the stadium were 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, earlier in the evening. In response, Simmons and Dwayne Smith slammed brisk fifties to lead the WI’s chase, with Lara contributing with a 21-ball 33, and more importantly setting the tone with a 99-run third wicket stand with Simmons. Earlier, opening the batting with the dangerous Chris Gayle, who perished for a 12-ball 11, Smith led the charge with a classy 29-ball 51, powered by 10 boundaries and a six, before Simmons took charge of the proceedings with an audacious half-century, Needing 38 off the last three overs, Simmons and wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton slammed three boundaries off Daniel Christian to reduce the margin by 17 runs before completing the formalities with a flurry of boundaries, and four balls to spare.
