Evin Lewis hit five sixes off just 32 balls with one six after another. But at the end of 10 overs, West Indies collected only 75 runs without wickets. Lewis has no responsibility behind this. Lendl Simmons, his opening partner, will have to take the whole thing.

West Indies right-arm opener Simmons was seen batting in a Test mood against South Africa at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium today. He could not hit any boundary from the wicket till 13.2 overs of the innings.

Simmons was able to score only 16 runs off 35 balls before returning to the dressing room as the third batsman of the team. The memory of former Bangladesh star batsman Alok Kapali has come back in his turtle batting style. One such innings he played in the first edition of the World Cup almost 14 years ago.

Kapali played 35 balls against South Africa in 2006 and scored 14 runs in just 40 strikeouts. He did not have any four-six in his innings. After the fourth wicket fell in the fifth over of the innings, Kapali was on the field till the 18th over.

No one in the history of T20 World Cup has played less than 30 ball innings in an innings. Today, almost 14 years later, Simmons has a strike rate of 45.61 in an innings of 16 off 35 balls against South Africa; The Caribbean opener escaped Kapali's embarrassing record for just two runs.

However, in another record, Simmons has become Kapali's partner. Kapali has so far held the record for most boundaries in a single match in the history of the T20 World Cup without hitting a boundary. Simmons was without boundaries even though he played 35 balls equal to him today.

Proteas are in trouble since the start of the World Cup, De Kock's career is in doubt

Did Quinton de Kock end his career without participating in the 'Black Lives Matter movement? South African captain Temba Babuma, who went down to toss against the West Indies in Dubai today (Tuesday), said De Cock, one of the team's best stars, was not playing.

Why? Baba claims that De Cock has left on his own for personal reasons. However, the news of Protea media is different. They are saying that the wicketkeeper-batsman has become an eyesore of the board without supporting the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.

The Proteas board has instructed that the cricketers of the World Cup team must kneel before the match to participate in the 'Black Lives Matter movement.

But De Cock has been seen to disagree before. It was seen that all the players were on their knees but the wicketkeeper-batsman was standing with his hands on his hips. Several media outlets have reported that his quarrel with the board started with this.

While the root cause is not yet clear, India's wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik and popular commentator Hershey Vogle have already expressed concern over De Kock's career.

With a surprise emoji, Dinesh Karthik wrote on Twitter, "Quinton de Kock is not playing because he does not support the BLM movement!"

Hershey Vogle writes, 'I'm afraid we'll hear the last word again, not on the De Cock issue! I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't seen in a Proteas jersey again. '
