Having confirmed the first two T20I’s of the five-game series will be his last and wanting to play his farewell game in his hometown, Russell walked out to bat when the hosts were 98/5 and raced away to score a vital 36 off 15 deliveries, while smacking six maximums and two boundaries.
The 37-year-old took the time to thank the fans for their support and admitted it was time to move on.
"I just want to say thanks, thanks to the people in the Sabina Park and to the WICB for the opportunity. Just happy to play in front of the home crowd, the result didn't go our way, but I'm just happy to have played so many matches and wish the team the best going forward. Thanks for all the support, I really appreciate it the most," said Russell, who is a two-time world champion, having been a part of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup winning squads in 2012 and 2016.
