    West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder: "It was a classic finish. It was not the best of starts from us but we just tried to stay in the game. Total opposite to yesterday, not starting well but being able to finish well.

    "An area I needed to improve is my death bowling and variations. I'm improving in the nets, and the captain has the confidence in me. That does a lot for my confidence. People are seeing what I can do and giving me the responsibility.

    "I ppride myself on [not bowling] no-balls, pleased with how I came back, bowled a dot ball next up and then they had to come hard so I got the four wickets. I'm pumped up for the moment, I love playing at Kensington Oval. It's the best place in the world to play cricket."

    West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard: "Every single person in the dressing room, well done to every single one of them. The guys have worked tirelessly.

    "We have to focus on the cricket and the guys have put their heads down and showed what they want to achieve.

    "This was a final and when you bat first and put runs on the board you can apply the pressure. This was a different game from last night and we capitalised with the bat in the last four overs.

    "This is Jason Holder's ground, his town, but it was total team effort from us. The guys worked hard throughout the series."

    Asked if he enjoyed skippering England and whether he would like to do it again in the future, Moeen Ali added: "I enjoy captaining but there is Jos Buttler who is a great skipper when Eoin Morgan is unavailable."

    England stand-in skipper Moeen Ali: "I thought West Indies were the better team. We didn't adapt to the conditions and just fell short in a good series between the sides.

    "We are working on our death bowling but I didn't think we were too bad today. We'll get better as time goes on. They were smarter than us today with bat and ball.

    "Overall it was a great series and a great spectacle. We've struggled in these types of conditions and need to get better. Some of the young guys have done well."

    England might have missed a few of their rested Ashes stars, but take nothing away from West Indies who have played extremely well here.

    Wonder who the man of the match will be?

  13. WEST INDIES WIN BY 17 RUNSpublished at 23:33 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2022

    Bedlam. A chaotic finish to this match in Bridgetown, Barbados. It looked like it was petering out, but Jason Holder has finished the match, and the series, with a flourish becoming the first West Indies player to take a T20 hat-trick.

    West Indies players are doing a lap of honour. Holder is grinning like a Cheshire cat.

    FOUR IN FOUR FOR JASON HOLDER!

    Crazy scenes. The Kensington Oval is going wild - albeit belatedly.

    An inside edge onto the stumps from Saqib Mahmood and the ball slightly dislodges a bail.

    Holder initially didn't even realise and was about to walk back to his mark only for Nicholas Pooran to begin celebrating after he spotted it.
