17.6: Shamar Joseph to Ali Hasan, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! WEST INDIES WIN BY 42 RUNS! That's it, it's all over for Italy. Shamar Joseph is absolutely pumped and why shouldn't he be? Four catches to go along with four wickets, a very rare feat, indeed. Joseph hammers the ball on a good length around off and extracts extra bounce thanks to his brisk pace. Ali Hasan backs away, trying to slash it away but gets a thin outside edge through to the keeper. Shai Hope takes a comfortable catch and Italy are bowled out for 123 runs in a chase of 166.
17.5: Shamar Joseph to Ali Hasan, Full and straight, right in the blockhole, Ali Hasan digs it out well.
17.4: Shamar Joseph to Thomas Draca, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust. Hang on, there's a No Ball check for height. Thomas Draca is on his way back but is asked to stand his ground. Draca is a tall man but the ball seems to be just dipping a bit. Well, well, Draca is jogging back to the crease, or is he? A lot of confusion as Draca is asked to wait again. No one knows what's going on here. Even Langton Rusere, the on-field umpire, is having a chuckle. Finally, the technology confirms that it is a fair delivery and Draca will have to walk back. Coming to the delivery, this is a high full toss over middle, Thomas Draca makes room but ends up angling it straight to Roston Chase at backward point, who makes no mistake. Not the best of deliveries from Shamar Joseph but he won't mind getting a wicket here.
17.3: Shamar Joseph to Thomas Draca, FOUR! Nicely done. A short ball, at the body, but Thomas Draca backs away and ramps it over the keeper, to the deep third fence.
17.2: Shamar Joseph to Crishan Kalugamage, Full and around off, Crishan leans and pushes it through mid on for a single.
17.1: Shamar Joseph to Crishan Kalugamage, Wasn't there a noise? No one reacts. Might be the excess amount of wax in my ears. Short and wide outside off, Kalugamage slashes but misses. I certainly heard a noise, but does not matter...
17.1: Shamar Joseph to Crishan Kalugamage, WIDE. Dug in short, down the leg side, Crishan Kalugamage looks to tuck but misses.
16.6: Matthew Forde to Crishan Kalugamage, Nice and full, outside off, jammed down to long off for a single. Matthew Forde's fine spell of bowling comes to an end. 4-0-19-3, for him in this game.
16.5: Matthew Forde to Thomas Draca, Forde looks to go full and wide again, but ends up bowling a full toss. Draca scythes it away through backward point and picks up a single.
16.4: Matthew Forde to Gian-Piero Meade, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the fielder and Matthew Forde now has his third wicket. Forde sticks to his plans and serves a full ball, well wide of the off stump. Gian-Piero Meade reaches for it and looks to hit it over point but ends up slicing it. Shamar Joseph takes it around waist height and that is his fourth catch of the innings. West Indies are just two wickets away from sealing things now.
16.3: Matthew Forde to Gian-Piero Meade, Pace off, on a length, miles outside off. Would have been a wide, but Gian-Piero gets a long way across and looks to pull, failing to connect. He is targetting that shorter boundary on the leg side.
16.2: Matthew Forde to Gian-Piero Meade, Another similar ball. Meade is standing outside his leg stump and hence, cannot reach the ball. It lands well inside the wide guideline.
16.1: Matthew Forde to Gian-Piero Meade, Excellent yorker, wide outside off, Gian-Piero Meade gets across to drive but cannot lay bat on ball.
15.6: Gudakesh Motie to Benjamin Manenti, OUT! TIMBER! Gudakesh Motie answers right back and sends Benjamin Manenti packing. Slightly short again, this time around off but a bit slower from Motie. Benjamin Manenti backs away, looking to pull off the back foot but is early in the swipe. The ball takes a bottom edge and goes back onto the stumps. It seems like Italy's resistance is slowly but surely coming to an end. Motie ends with figures of 4-0-24-2.
15.5: Gudakesh Motie to Benjamin Manenti, SIX! Oh, that's the Italian muscle from Benjamin Manenti. Short ball, angled into middle, Benjamin Manenti rocks back and swats it flat and wide of long on for a biggie. Italy need more of these from Ben now.
15.4: Gudakesh Motie to Benjamin Manenti, Oh, half a chance for caught and bowled but that's gone through. Floated up on middle and leg, Benjamin Manenti comes down the pitch and pushes it uppishly to the right of the bowler. Motie leaps up to his right and goes at it with both hands but the ball goes through. Matthew Forde at long on runs to his left and puts in a valiant slide to stop the boundary, parrying the ball to Rovman Powell, who mops up and keeps it down to two runs.
15.3: Gudakesh Motie to Gian-Piero Meade, Down the leg side, swept behind square leg for a run.
15.2: Gudakesh Motie to Gian-Piero Meade, Around off, pushed to the off side.
15.1: Gudakesh Motie to Gian-Piero Meade, DROPPED! A rare blemish in the field and it might be more than just a missed opportunity for the West Indies. Brandon King is down on the ground. Full, around off, Gian-Piero Meade looks to play the slog sweep but gets a massive top edge, which goes towards the leg side. Now, there are two fielders for that catch - Brandon King going back from short mid-wicket, while Rovman Powell coming in from deep mid-wicket. Ideally, it should always be the guy running forward but Powell stops after taking a couple of steps. Probably because King was going for the catch. As things would have it, the ball is beyond King's head and while backtracking, he misses the ball, as it goes through his fingers and then, he lands very badly, banging the turf with his head. Powell looks concerned and is asking King whether he is okay, as the batters take a couple of runs.
19.6: Ali Hasan to Matthew Forde, Just 8 runs off the final over. Hasan keeps it outside off, away from the hitting arc. Forde has a swing at it but mistimes his shot to the left of long off for a brace. WEST INDIES END WITH 165/6.
19.5: Ali Hasan to Matthew Forde, Dot again! Excellent final over from Hasan so far. Angles across a fuller delivery, way outside off. Forde flashes his blade and misses.
19.4: Ali Hasan to Matthew Forde, A pinpoint yorker, outside off. Forde tries to go downtown but toe ends his shot back to Hasan.
19.3: Ali Hasan to Sherfane Rutherford, Half-a-chance but Crishan Kalugamage has done well to prevent the boundary. Short in length and on the hips, pace off and Rutherford swipes it aerially and to deep backward square leg. Crishan Kalugamage runs in and slides. Parries the ball with his foot towards the short fine leg fielder and keeps it down to one.
19.2: Ali Hasan to Sherfane Rutherford, Two more! A wide yorker, nailed outside off. Rutherford squeezes it out to deep point. The fielder is slow to release the ball and the batters sneak in the second run.
19.1: Ali Hasan to Sherfane Rutherford, Overpitched, drifting on the pads. Rutherford whips it behind square on the leg side. Crishan Kalugamage sprints to his left and slips a bit on the practice pitches. That allows the batters to come back for the second. Ali Hasan is not happy one bit.
19.1: Ali Hasan to Sherfane Rutherford, WIDE! Too full, angling down the leg side. Rutherford fails to clip it away.
18.6: Grant Stewart to Matthew Forde, FOUR! Superb from Forde! Anticipates a fuller delivery and shuffles across in his crease. Forde laps it over the keeper and it speeds into the fence. 19 runs off the over.
18.5: Grant Stewart to Matthew Forde, FOUR! Oh, that's unfortunate! A well-nailed yorker, angling on leg. Forde manages to get his bat down as he clears the front leg. It rolls through his legs and finds the fine leg fence. 150 up for West Indies.
18.4: Grant Stewart to Sherfane Rutherford, Much better from Grant! Pace off, length delivery, outside off. Rutherford is through his shot, he swings hard but manages an inside edge on the leg side. A single.
18.3: Grant Stewart to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR! That is a gift! Italy are giving too many freebies in the back end. A gentle full toss, well outside off. Rutherford frees his arms and cuts it over point for a boundary. A quick check for height on the full toss but it is found to be below the waist.
18.3: Grant Stewart to Sherfane Rutherford, WIDE! A slower bumper but a bit too wide. Rutherford swings his blade and misses.
18.2: Grant Stewart to Matthew Forde, Excellent stop in the deep! Grant Stewart serves another full toss, around off. Forde punches it down towards long off. Harry Manenti runs across to his right and dives to save three runs. Just a single.
18.1: Grant Stewart to Matthew Forde, FOUR! Short straight boundary and Matthew Forde hits it effortlessly. A low juicy full toss on middle, Forde opens up his body and just chips it straight down the ground for a boundary.
17.6: Crishan Kalugamage to Sherfane Rutherford, Crishan Kalugamage ends the over well. He closes his spell with two crucial wickets. Pushes it full and wide outside off, Rutherford leans to drive it away but misses it.
17.5: Crishan Kalugamage to Matthew Forde, Tosses it up, around off, Matthew Forde plays it down to long off for a single.
17.4: Crishan Kalugamage to Jason Holder, OUT! TAKEN! Crishan Kalugamage strikes again. Dragged length and too wide, turning away from the batter. Jason Holder, without any foot movement, tries to hoick it away but he cue ends his shot to long on, where Harry Manenti reverse cups it to his right.
17.3: Crishan Kalugamage to Jason Holder, SIX! MASSIVE! West Indies are shifting gears now! Flights it a bit too much, fuller and on leg. Jason Holder stands tall and hammers it over deep mid-wicket for a six.
17.2: Crishan Kalugamage to Sherfane Rutherford, Tad fuller and around off. Rutherford pats it behind point for a single.
17.1: Crishan Kalugamage to Jason Holder, CHANCE! Floats a fuller-length delivery, around off, Jason Holder tries to power it down the ground but plays off the inner half of the bat to Crishan, who stretches his right hand out. It clips his fingertips and rolls to long off for a run.
