Romario Shepherd and Odean Smith nearly pulled off a West Indies upset win over New Zealand in the first T20 International. Affected by a rain delay, the two all rounders took the home team close to the required total at Sabina Park on August 10. In the end, it fell short and the visitors won by 13 runs. As the report on the Windies website stated, Romario Shepherd lashed a 16-ball unbeaten 31 in a 58-run, unbroken, eighth wicket stand with Smith who blasted a 12-ball unbeaten 27.
