West Indies to score over 45.5 runs in the first six overs

Rovman’s Powell in his first match as a captain guided West Indies to a 3 wicket win at Centurion. West Indies lost wickets initially but that did not stop the flow of runs.

In three out of these five matches, West Indies’ score ranked above our target and in one of them they just missed it by a run.
