[Watch] England pick up a team hat-trick in the WI vs ENG 2024 4th T20I

Team England picked up three wickets in three balls during their fourth T20I against West Indies, played at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia. The West Indies won the match by five wickets on Saturday (November 16), with the Men in Maroon registering their first win of the T20I series.

Chasing 219, West Indies openers Evin Lewis and Shai Hope walked out to the middle and gave the hosts a rollicking start. The duo stitched together 136 runs nine overs into the chase and looked as if they would finish the game soon.

However, in the 10th over, bowled by Rehan Ahmad, the leg spinner had Lewis (68 off 31 balls) caught in the deep on the offside, ending the southpaw's stay in the middle. On the very next ball, Nicholas Pooran, the new batter in the middle, ran out Shai Hope (54 off 24) before losing his wicket off the third delivery of the over, as he was dismissed for a two-ball duck.

In a moment, West Indies lost three wickets without scoring a run, slipping from 136/0 to 136/3 after 10.3 overs. Take a look at the dismissals below (from 17:00):

Later on, it was Rovman Powell (38 off 23) and Sherfane Rutherford (29 off 17) who helped the hosts chase down the total to win the match by five wickets. Rehan Ahmed and John Turner shared the wickets to fall in the innings, with the former picking up three of them.
