The West Indies cricketers are known for hitting sixes in any given form of cricket. It was clearly evident during yesterday's game. The pummelling started off with the openers, and the feat was continued by every West Indian batsman who came in to bat.

Chris Gayle alone smashed 12 sixes in the innings. The left-handed Darren Bravo smashed four sixes, while Nurse smashed three sixes. Four other players smashed one six each. In total, they hit 23 sixes in the innings. It was the most number of sixes hit by any team in an ODI innings.

Windies broke the record of New Zealand, who had smashed 22 sixes in 2014, with Corey Anderson smashing 14 sixes in that match. It was the West Indies at the receiving side during that time. They also now hold the record for hitting the most number of sixes in a losing cause.
