The Hurricane Relief T20 Challenge[1][2][3] was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket match that took place in England on 31 May 2018. The West Indies cricket team played against a World XI team, to raise funds for stadiums damaged by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria in September 2017.[4] The damaged stadiums were Ronald Webster Park in Anguilla and Dominica's Windsor Park.[5]
The International Cricket Council (ICC) granted the fixture international status,[6] with Lord's being selected as venue to host the match.[7] In March 2018, the ICC named Eoin Morgan as the captain of the World XI side.[8] The following month, Carlos Brathwaite was named as the captain of the West Indies team.[1] However, two days before the match, Morgan was ruled out of the fixture with a fractured finger,[9] and replaced as captain by Shahid Afridi.[10]
The West Indies won the one-off match by 72 runs.[11]
