West Indies vs USA Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8: Hope, Pooran carnage help WI win by 9 wickets

Netravalkar returns. Hope lofts one to long off, falls well short, single taken. Six!! In the slot, Pooran lofts it over midwicket for six! Six!! Full and wide outside off stump, Pooran lofts it over extra cover for another six. Wide again, punched to long off, only a single though. Six!! Shai Hope lofts one downtown for six and West Indies win before the end of the 11th over. Will do their NRR a huge favour. 

Pooran’s turn to have a go. Off-pace from van Schalkwyk and Pooran smacks it flat-batted for a six past the leg side fence. Hope attempts another big one. Top edge. But it lands safely. Pooran adds another four to close off the over. 

Low full toss from Milind to start his spell. Driven for a single by Pooran. Hope continues his aggressive touch. Too straight from Milind and Hope launches it over mid wicket for a six. Hope goes squarer next ball. SIX MORE!! Fuller from Milind now and Hope carves it over extra cover for another six. 

Nicholas Pooran in for West Indies. He gets off the mark with a pull shot for a single against Ali Khan. Couple of wides from the over help West Indies’ cause. 

Harmeet hangs it outside the off stump. Hope frees his arm and lofts it over extra cover for a brilliant six and that is his fifty. This has been some knock. 

Charles looks to follow Hope’s route as he looks to clear the leg side fence. But it ends as a good catch in the deep. 

Johnson Charles c Milind Kumar b Harmeet Singh 15 (14b 2x4 0x6)

WI 67/1 in 7 overs

Too full from van Schalkwyk and too easy for Shai Hope. Thrashed through covers for a four. Hope goes one better next. Slams one over covers for a glorious six. And then closes off the over with a four guided past short third. 

Charles joins the party. Pitched up by new bowler Harmeet Singh. Tonked over mid on for a four. Harmeet brings his length back to cut the boundary scoring opportunities for the Windies batters. 

Ali Khan introduced. Starts with three dot ball against Shai Hope. Length ball now. Hope brings out the flat-batted swat. SIX!! Full toss next. Tucked away for a four with ease by Hope. 

Full from Netravalkar. Hope straight bats it down the ground for a classy four. Length from Netravalkar now. Hope nails the cover drive. FOUR MORE!! Netravalkar goes around the wicket now. Hope punches one to long on to take a single.

Left-arm spinner Kenjige from the other end for USA. He drops it short and Hope is quick to dispatch it for the first six of the chase off his back foot to the leg side. 

Shai Hope opens the batting for West Indies, along with Johnson Charles. 

Netravalkar with the new ball for USA. A hint of swing for the left-arm medium pacer. Just three runs from the over. 

WI 3/0 in 1 over

Russell with the last over. Ali Khan looks to smoke one down the ground again. No timing at all, he’ll only get one. WICKET!! Another attempted lofted shot, skipper Powell dives forward from long on to complete the catch. 

Netravalkar c Powell b Russell 0(4)

Alzarri continues. Kenjige guides it to point and the overthrow after a run out chance gives him a run. WICKET!! Kenjige looks to make room and ramp one, hands a simple catch to the keeper. 

Nosthush Kenjige c Pooran b Alzarri Joseph 1(3)

Russell returns. van Shalkwyk picks the slower one and drills it down the ground for four. WICKET!! van Shalkwyk clips one to short fine, Milind makes his way to the strikers end when there was no run there. Both the batter at the same end and Russell has an easy runout to complete.

Harmeet Singh c Charles b Roston Chase 0(1)

van Schalkwyk in at 8. Manages to keep out the hattrick ball. Three runs from the over. 

McCoy back into the attack. Slower ball outside off, the ball keeps low. Slower yorker, turned legside for a single. Four!! Slightly wide slower ball, Milind waits for it and guides it past point for a rare boundary. 

Chase continues. Anderson steers one to short third, a fumble allows him to scamper through for a single. Five singles off the over. 

Rusell into the attack. Follows up a length delivery with a quick bouncer, Milind shoulders arms. A deft touch to third man allows Milind to pick up two. Appeal for run out at the non strikers after Milind steers a wide one through backward point and looks to pick up two. 

Roston Chase strikes first ball. And it is the big wicket of Aaron Jones. Drifts one into the batter and it ricochets off his pad onto the stumps.

Gous tries to emulate Jones. But there is no timing. Loops it up and Shai Hope completes the catch. 

Andries Gous c Hope b Joseph 29 (16b 3x4 1x6)

USA 60/3 in 8 overs

PowerPlay ends and as we have seen over the tournament, out comes Gudakesh Motie and he strikes immediately. 

Nitish Kumar tries to reverse sweep a ball which is too full. Bangs right onto his front pad. Given out by the umpire. USA reviews, but it is futile. 

Nitish Kumar lbw b Motie 20 (19b 2x4 0x6)

USA 51/2 in 7 overs

Not the best start for Alzarri Joseph. Oversteps first ball and gives away a freehit. Nitish on strike. Alzarri regroups with a perfect yorker. Just a single. On the pads now. Gous times it past the mid wicket fielder for a four. Again leg sideish from Alzarri. Gous goes one better. Whacks it over the leg side field for the first six of the game. 

DROPPED!! Alzarri Joseph gets an edge out of Gous. But Akeal Hosein fails to hold onto a tough chance at short third. 

Length ball from Hosein. Gous punches it through covers. Perfect placement. FOUR!! Gous and Nitish keep things moving with a few more singles. 

Obed McCoy into the attack and Nitish Kumar takes him on straight away. Steps outside the line before clanging one over covers for a four. Follows it up with a double to the leg side. McCoy goes a little shorter and Nitish flat bats him over mid wicket for another four. 

Akeal Hosein continues. Over the wicket now against Nitish Kumar. Three dot balls on the trot to get the over going. A misfield allows Nitish to get off the strike. Couple of singles from the rest of the over. 

Andre Russell is given the task of handling the new ball from the other end and the experiment works immediately. Keeps it just outside the off stump. Taylor has a slash at it. Good low catch by Chase at point. 

Steven Taylor c Chase b Russell 2 (7b 0x4 0x6)

USA 10/1 in 2 overs

Steven Taylor and Andries Gous get things underway. Akeal Hosein with the new ball for West Indies, as expected. Gives nothing away to the USA openers. Just three runs from the over. 

USA 3/0 in 1 over

Steven Taylor, Andries Gous(w), Nitish Kumar, Aaron Jones(c), Corey Anderson, Milind Kumar, Harmeet Singh, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Nosthush Kenjige, Ali Khan, Saurabh Netravalkar

Johnson Charles, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran(w), Roston Chase, Rovman Powell(c), Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Obed McCoy

West Indies have won the toss and opt to bowl first. 

With inclement weather on better to chase says Rovman Powell. Two changes for WI. Obed Mccoy and Shai Hope come in for Brandon King and Romario Shepherd. 

Two changes for USA. Milind Kumar and Shadley van Shalkwyk replace Shayan Jahangir and Jasdeep singh.

Win the toss bat first reckons Wasim Akram. Eventually it is going to turn a bit. Batting team needs to get to 160 he says.

A small drizzle at the ground and the pitch is being covered. We’ll have a slight delay here before the toss. Toss at 5:40 am IST.

West Indies: Brandon King/ Kyle Mayers, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran(wk), Roston Chase, Rovman Powell(C), Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell, Obed McCoy, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie

USA: Steven Taylor, Andries Gous, Shayan Jahangir, Aaron Jones (C), Nitish Kumar, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Jasdeep Singh, Nosthush Kenjige, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan.

West Indies cannot afford another misstep as its takes on a tenacious USA outfit in the Super Eights of the T20 World Cup here, seeking to renew its quest for an unprecedented third title. 

After remaining unbeaten in the group stage, the West Indies slumped to an eight-wicket loss to defending champion England in its opening Super Eight fixture, paying the price for playing out as many as 51 dot balls and failing to rotate strike.

The heavy defeat to England has not only pushed Ravman Powell and his men to the bottom of the group but they now have -1.343 net run rate and need to win big to keep their hopes of lifting the title at home alive.

USA, on the other hand, hasn’t won any game since its victory against Pakistan earlier this month. But it gave a good account of themselves against India and almost shocked South Africa, falling just 18 runs short of the Proteas’ 194/4 against a high-quality bowling attack.
