Andre Russell is one of the finest all-rounders in the shortest format of the game, and he has started the T20 World Cup on a positive note as well by bagging two wickets in the three overs he bowled against Papua New Guinea.

One of those wickets was of Chad Soper who was cleaned up with a brilliant yorker. It was the seventh wicket of Papua New Guinea's innings and was the last ball of the 19th over. 

It was a yorker on the middle-stump line and swung in nicely as Soper failed to get under the delivery. The ball knocked over the middle stump and it was once again a nice reflection of what Andre Russell can do at the death with the ball.

Papua New Guinea eventually scored 136 in their allotted 20 overs with Sese Bau scoring 50 off 43 balls. Rovman Powell earlier won the toss and decided to bowl first and Romario Shepherd was the one who got the first wicket which was followed by some disciplined bowling by all bowlers, and overall, West Indies would be pretty happy with the first bowling effort of this home World Cup.
