1.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Oh...that's an absolute beauty. Ali Hasan comes from over the wicket, lands this on a good length on the fourth stump line, gets it to jag back in sharply. Brandon King looks to play at it from the crease but gets cut in half as the ball goes past the inside edge behind, where the keeper, Gian-Piero Meade, takes a good catch to his left. There is a shout for caught behind, but turned down. However, the keeper and bowler convince the Italy skipper to take the review. UltraEdge comes up on the big screen and shows a spike when the ball is next to the bat, much to the delight of Italians. The on-field call is changed to Out, and the Windies are rocked early. 5/1

15.1 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Crishan Kalugamage picks up the set batter. Italy are on top now. Flights up a fuller delivery, around off, the wrong 'un but Shai Hope doesn't pick it up, tries to slog it away but misses and it crashes into the stumps. Shai Hope goes for a well-made 75 (46). 115/5

| Shimron Hetmyer | 1 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 25 |

4.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Thomas Draca gets the big fish here. He bowls the off-cutter, serves this full and around off. This one grips onto the surface and angles away too. Shimron Hetmyer looks to go over covers but gets a thick outside edge that flies wide of fly slip, where JJ Smuts flings himself to his right to grab a fantastic catch. West Indies are 31/2 now. 31/2

| Roston Chase | 24 | 25 | 2 | 0 | 96 |
|
12.3 OUT! CAUGHT! 'Catch it' is the cry, and the call has been answered. End of a scratchy stay for Roston Chase. Benjamin Manenti spots Chase backing away and he follows him. This is on the shorter side. Roston has a swing across the line and he takes on the longer of the two square boundaries. Hits it straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket, where Anthony Mosca makes no mistake. The 64-run stand has been broken. 95/3

| Rovman Powell | 9 | 9 | 0 | 1 | 100 |
|
14.4 SIX AND OUT! CAUGHT! Benjamin Manenti is absolutely pumped up. An off-break on leg, Powell is tempted to go big again. He picks up off the pads and whacks it across. Powell thought he had cleared the fence, but Crishan Kalugamage sprints to his right at deep square leg and manages to hold onto it. Almost overruns the ball, slips a bit and hurts his fingertips in the process. 113/4

17.4 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. 137/6

1.5 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Matthew Forde draws first blood for West Indies. Forde comes around the wicket to the left-hander and serves it a bit fuller than a good length, in the channel outside off. Justin Mosca leans back and looks to cut but the ball seams back in sharply and goes past the willow to smash into the top of the off pole. Italy are 12/1, needing 154 more off 109 balls. 12/1

3 OUT! CAUGHT! Akeal Hosein fires back and gets his man. Akeal lobs the ball full and on leg stump, but gives it a lot more air. Anthony Mosca lunges across to get inside the line of the ball and sweep but mistimes it straight to short fine leg. The ball loops up and Shamar Joseph takes a couple of steps to his left and hangs on to a simple catch. Both Mosca brothers are now back in the hut and Italy still need 140 more off 102 balls. 26/2

5.5 OUT! TAKEN! Matthew Forde's brilliant run in the Powerplay continues and he gets his second wicket. Bowled on a good length and bit wide of the off stump. The ball shapes away as well. Syed Naqvi stays leg side of the delivery and throws the hands at it but because of the away movement, the ball catches the bottom part of the blade and gets skied up over the mid off region. Shamar Joseph back-pedals and takes a well-judged catch over his head. Italy are now 37/3, needing 129 more off 85 balls. 37/3

| JJ Smuts | 24 | 27 | 3 | 0 | 88.88 |

12 OUT! CAUGHT! The bigger boundary comes into play and it works in favour of the bowler. Tossed up, full and around leg. JJ Smuts goes down on one knee to sweep but hits it flat and behind square leg. Shamar Joseph is waiting patiently on the backward square leg fence and he just sits down halfway and pouches a simple chance. The brewing partnership worth 21 runs is broken as Smuts is finally put out of his misery. 88 needed now off 48 balls. 78/5

| Harry Manenti C | 8 | 10 | 0 | 1 | 80 |

8.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The extra pace and bounce does the job for Shamar Joseph. Joseph consistently hits that in-between length and bowls this one around the fifth stump line, at a brisk pace. Harry Manenti's feet are rooted to the crease and he tries to slash it away but gets an outside edge through to the keeper. Shai Hope gobbles it up to his right and Italy are 4 down for just 57. 109 more needed off 67 balls. 57/4

16 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. 115/7

14.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Shamar Joseph strikes right after the break and Italy lose their 6th wicket. Shamar goes full and straight again, searching for the yorker but misses his length again. This is a bit in the slot but is quick at 144.8 kph. Grant Stewart looks to get under it and lift it over long off but can't get the timing right. The ball gets chipped down to long off, where Jason Holder uses those buckets for hands to pouch it safely. 63 needed now off 31 balls. 103/6

| Gian-Piero Meade Wk | 4 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 50 |

16.4 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. 115/8

| Thomas Draca | 5 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 166.66 |

17.4 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. 123/9

18 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. 123/10
