2.4 OUT! TAKEN! Richard Ngarava has the last laugh here. He bangs this into the pitch, around leg, takes pace off again, delivering at 101.3 kph. Brandon King backs away to hook it but the ball just gets a bit big on him and does not have room to free his arms. He ends up hitting it flat and aerially straight to deep backward square leg, where Tashinga Musekiwa does not have to move and takes a good catch with a reverse cup. King cannot believe he has found the fielder but he has to go back for yet another low score in this World Cup. 17/1

5.5 OUT! CAUGHT! A screamer of a catch from Brian Bennett and the Chevrons have now dismissed both the openers of West Indies. Evans takes all the pace off by rolling his fingers on the leather. Hits the hard length, over middle and off. Shai Hope swings slightly early to pull it over the leg side, and gets no timing or power due to the lack of pace. Loses his shape as he pulls it aerially toward the left of deep mid-wicket. Brian Bennett comes sprinting across, tracks the ball nicely, dives to his left and takes a fantastic catch. West Indies are 54/2. 54/2

14.3 OUT! TAKEN! Graeme Cremer finally gets the much-needed breakthrough for Zimbabwe. End of a mammoth partnership, 122 runs off just 52 balls. Cremer tosses up a googly, full and on middle, does not turn much. Shimron Hetmyer comes down the track to heave it across the line, but plays for the turn in and ends up hitting it from the inner half of the bat. It flies wide of deep mid-wicket, where Brian Bennett runs to his left, dives and takes his second fantastic catch of the game. Hettie departs for a fabulous 85 off 34, and to a huge applause from the Mumbai crowd. 176/3

16.1 OUT! TAKEN! Musekiwa finally holds on to one now. Blessing Muzarabani strikes right after returning to the attack. He hits the hard length, on middle, nips back in from the pitch. Rovman Powell swivels on the back foot and tries to pull over deep square leg, but mistimes it due to the pace and bounce. It sails to the left of Tashinga Musekiwa who runs in that direction, almost overruns but manages to stay calm and takes it with a reverse cup. West Indies are 194/4. 194/4

18.4 OUT! HIGH IN THE AIR AND GONE! Wicket number 2 for Richard Ngarava. He bowls it full and on the stumps. Romario Shepherd tries to pump it downtown for another biggie, but does not manage to get his bat under the ball properly. Goes through the shot, slicing it off the toe end. The ball kisses the moon and descends towards the long off fielder where Ryan Burl has to wait for an eternity to take the catch. He takes it around his right thigh. A quickfire cameo comes to an end from Romario Shepherd. West Indies are 229/5. 229/5

| Jason Holder | 13 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 325 |

19.3 OUT! TAKEN! Pace off does the trick for Blessing Muzarabani. He bowls a slower one, into the pitch, on off. It lands, bounces and nips away from the right-hander. Jason Holder is too early into the shot, attempting to slap it over the off side with a cross batted angle, but gets outfoxed due to lack of pace. Plays a half hearted shot down towards long off. The ball dips in front of Tony Munyonga but he dives in front to scoop the ball before the grass. 248/6

2 OUT! CAUGHT! Shimron Hetmyer doesn't make any mistake this time and Matthew Forde strikes in his first over. Forde immediately pulls the length back and bowls it outside off. Tadiwanashe Marumani looks to swivel and pull but the ball flies off the top edge and down to the right of deep backward point. Hetmyer moves to his right, goes on one knee and pouches it nicely. 235 needed now off 108 balls. 20/1

| Brian Bennett | 5 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 100 |
|
2.1 OUT! TIMBER! That's a beauty from Akeal Hosein and for the first time in this tournament, Brian Bennett gets out. Nicely tossed up, very straight and full, dips right on the popping crease. Bennett takes the front leg out and goes for the slog across the line but is beaten in flight and plays all around it. The ball sneaks past the bat to hit the top of off, and Zimbabwe have lost both openers in the first 13 deliveries. 20/2

6.4 OUT! TIMBER! A response of the highest order by Gudakesh Motie. He floats it up, full and on middle and leg, does not turn much. Dion Myers looks to clip it across the line and plays for the inward spin, closing his bat face a bit too early. The ball sneaks past the bat and rattles the stumps behind. Zimbabwe are 52/4, needing 203 runs in 80 balls. 52/4

2.4 OUT! TAKEN! You simply cannot keep Shimron Hetmyer out of the game. Two catches dropped off him while batting, and now he takes a couple of catches early on to pile on the misery. Akeal Hosein entices the batter as he floats it up full on middle and leg, asking the batter to take him on. Ryan Burl sits down to slog sweep and it is there to be hit as well but he hits it flat towards deep square leg, where Hetmyer comes forward and takes a fine low catch. 20/3

| Sikandar Raza C | 27 | 20 | 2 | 2 | 135 |
|
10.3 OUT! BOWLED! Absolutely outfoxed as Motie removes the Zimbabwean skipper. Motie stays around the stumps and dishes out a fuller length ball, on middle. It pitches, holds and grips away from the batter just so slightly. Sikandar Raza plants his front foot out to push it away, but plays inside the line, anticipating the ball to drift into him, but it spins past his blade and crashes into the stumps. A gem of a delivery from Motie as he has his second wicket. Zimbabwe are 94/5, chasing 255. 94/5

| Tony Munyonga | 14 | 16 | 0 | 1 | 87.50 |
|
12.2 OUT! CAUGHT! That's a sharp take in the deep from Shamar Joseph. Full and flat, drifted into middle and leg, Tony Munyonga sits down and slog sweeps it flat and hard to the right of deep mid-wicket. Shamar takes it low to his right with both hands and Zimbabwe lose their 7th wicket. Best figures for Gudakesh Motie in T20Is as well, as mentioned by Ian Bishop on air. 101/7

| Tashinga Musekiwa | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
10.4 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Motie continues to make merry at the Wankhede. He is loving this surface and is on a hat-trick. He pushes it through, full and aims the off pole. It is a bit quicker than the previous delivery, on a flatter trajectory that sucks Tashinga Musekiwa onto the front foot. He tries to push it to the off side, but the ball beats his outside edge and smashes into the off pole. Zimbabwe are it tatters now, slipping down to 94/6. 94/6

| Brad Evans | 43 | 21 | 2 | 5 | 204.76 |
|
17.4 OUT! TAKEN! Matthew Forde wraps things up finally. WEST INDIES WIN BY 107 RUNS. Forde serves a clever slower delivery, full and on off. Brad Evans looks to slog it across the line, but gets undone by the lack of pace, going through the shot way too early. It takes the top edge and lobs up towards short third, where Akeal Hosein pouches it safely. It is all smiles in the Windies camp as they begin the Super 8s with a massive win. 147/10

13.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Holder plucks it out of thin air like it's nothing. A cross-seam delivery from Jason Holder, on a back of a length and angled into the batter. Graeme Cremer gets cramped for room as he looks to pull and splices it away to the right of the bowler. Holder extends the right arm in the follow-through and pouches it nonchalantly. West Indies are just two wickets away from victory now. 102/8

14.3 OUT! CAUGHT! West Indies are almost there now. Tossed up, on middle and leg, Blessing Muzarabani clears the front leg and has a big swipe across the line. Blessing Muzarabani ends up hitting it miles in the air and just over mid-wicket. Shamar Joseph sprints in from the deep, almost overruns it but slams the brakes and reverse-cups it while sliding. 103/9
