England defeated West Indies by six wickets in Game 2 of the Super 12 stages of the 2021 T20 World Cup. While the game was disappointing, the catch by Akeal Hosein in the second innings made things interesting. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted to Akeal Hosein’s stunning catch to dismiss Liam Livingstone.
England off to a flier
West Indies could not have had a bad start to the 2021 World Cup. Despite having one of the best batting line-ups in the tournament, the defending champions could just not get out of the hole against England. Eventually, they were bundled out for just 55 runs.
England had an easy target but still struggled. Nevertheless, from the first ball of the second innings, it was inevitable that they would cruise to a win. They did just that but lost four wickets in the process. Nevertheless, it was a fine victory for them.

Stunner by Akeal Hosein, but it's not even the best catch he's taken in the last couple months. That honour goes to his take in CPL 2021, on the boundary line. #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/tMeITC9XKd

What a catch by Akeal Hosein off his own bowling! One of the best ever. Remember Rajesh Chauhan catching Shahid Afridi off his own bowling at Sharjah in 1997. That was terrific #T20WorldCup2021 #T20WorldCup21
