England's promising batting all-rounder Jacob Bethell showcased his incredible fielding prowess in the third T20I against West Indies at Daren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia. The young cricketer hit the bull's eye with a bullet throw, dismissing West Indies' experienced batter Shai Hope at a crucial juncture of the game. 

The incident occurred in the very first over of West Indies' innings after England won the toss and opted to bowl first. The hosts suffered a huge setback right at the start, with Jacob Bethell's stunning fielding effort leading to Shai Hope's dismissal.

England opened the proceedings with Jofra Archer, who instantly challenged the home batters with his pace and movement. From over the wicket, the right-arm pacer bowled a good-length delivery that jagged back into Hope after pitching around the off stump line. 


As the stylish right-handed batter nudged it to the mid wicket, he called his opening partner Evin Lewis for a quick single.

However, as the Windies openers had a miscommunication, Jacob Bethell showed remarkable agility, picking the ball and throwing it towards the striker's end in time. Before Hope could make his ground, his lightning-quick throw hit the stumps, running him out by a mile.

England sustained their dream run in the West Indies T20Is, defeating the hosts by three wickets and bagging the five-match series with two games remaining. Bowling first, the Three Lions restricted West Indies to a sub-par 145-run total before chasing it successfully, riding on scintillating knocks from Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone.
