With this emphatic win, West Indies moved to the top of Super 8 Group 1 and significantly boosted their net run rate, strengthening their push for a semi-final berth.
Both teams have been in sensational form, making this encounter a high-stakes battle that could influence the Super 8 standings.
Holder, who was appointed captain at just 23, reflected on the weight of responsibility that came with leading the side, particularly the pressures off the field.
West Indies power-hitter Andre Russell brought the curtain down on his international cricket career on Wednesday (IST), playing his farewell match in the second T20I against Australia at Sabina Park.
Russell, 37, has been a T20I-only player since 2019 and currently has 84 caps. He also played one Test and 56 ODIs. Russell becomes the second high-profile West Indies player, after Nicholas Pooran, to quit international cricket in less than two months.
The win helped West Indies solidify their sixth spot in the World Test Championship, with 12 points taking their point percentage to 43.75. The win helps them edge closer to Pakistan, who are fifth with 52.38 per cent.
"I felt at a young age I wanted to give myself every opportunity to be successful. I wanted to be involved in everything on the field whether it was batting, bowling, keeping wicket, everything; keep myself active and involved in the game," said Holder.
The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Bismillah Shinwari and Ahmed Durrani and third umpire Ahmed Pakteen as well as fourth umpire Izatullah Safi.
Khaleel credits his instant success to the experience he had gathered while sharing the dressing room with big international stars during the IPL.
