ICC World 2020 starts with a bang in the West Indies

The annual ICC World 2020 has kicked off in the West Indies, and the cricket is already engrossing and exciting for diehard fans and new spectators alike. The 2020 Cricket World Cup is perhaps the most popular tournament in cricket, and the opening game was a thriller straight away.

With perhaps two of the strongest teams in the tournament - New Zealand and Sri Lanka - kicking off the competition, fans would have been hoping for a fun-filled start, and they weren't dissapointed.

With Sri Lanka having posted 135-6 from their allotted 20 overs, mainly thanks to a brilliant 81 from 51 balls by Mahela Jayawardene, the match was balanced on a tight rope going towards the end of the final over, with the New Zealanders still needing 10 runs to win.

Nathan McCullum, though, turned out to be the hero for them, hitting 16 off 6 balls, including a six off the penultimate ball of the match to secure his side the victory.

Us cricket fans can just hope the tournament will continue to provide us with excitement like this throughout. Keep posted on here for regular updates from the tournament.
