West Indies all-rounder Kieran Pollard brought the team back into the match with six sixes off Dhananjay. He added 38 runs off 11 balls. He was bowled out by Sri Lankan bowler Vanindu Hasranga. But kieron Pollard became the third batsman to hit six sixes in an over in international cricket. Before him, Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh and South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs did this feat.

Yuvraj Singh had hit six sixes in an over by England bowler Stuart Broad. Now, 14 years later, Pollard did it. He said after the match, "After three wickets fell, I felt that the decision could be reduced only by hitting six sixes. The team needed them. I did not see that the bowler coming from the front took a hat-trick. I just got That was what the team needed. After hitting the third six, I felt that six sixes could also be hit and those six balls changed the whole game. " Akila Dhananjay took a hat-trick in one over and conceded 36 runs in the next over giving six sixes.
