    T20 World Cup: Powell Admits 'Rutherford's Knock Was The Difference' Against NZ

    T20 World Cup: Skipper Rovman Powell admitted Sherfane Rutherford's unbeaten 68 was the game-changer in West Indies' narrow victory over New Zealand to advance to the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup.

    Coming in to bat with West Indies reeling at 22 for 4 inside the powerplay, Rutherford was the hero for the home side, producing one of the innings of the tournament to help the hosts set a strong target of 149/9 at Brian Lara Stadium on Thursday (as per IST).

    "We told the guys that somebody has to play a blinder. It wasn't going to be an easy wicket because of the inclement weather. We always believe that individual brilliance in T20 cricket is needed sometimes, and Sherfane's innings was a fantastic knock. It gave us confidence, and at the halfway mark, we believed,' said Powell after the match.
