That's it then from this game and what a fascinating day of cricket we had! The two teams in Group B who had lost a game won this time around and the two who had points on the board finished on the losing side, throwing this group wide open. Action in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 2022 will continue on Thursday, the 20th of October with another double-header. Sri Lanka will take on the Netherlands in the first game of the day at 9.30 am IST (4 am GMT) followed by a clash between Namibia and the United Arab Emirates at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT). You can join us in advance for the build-up of both games. Cheers!
Nicholas Pooran, the captain of West Indies, says that they had a chat regarding their batting as enough was enough and the batters have to take more responsibility. He sounds happy with the way Rovman Powell and Akeal Hosein formed a partnership. On his plan to bowl Kyle Mayers up front, Pooran replies that he is the one who swings the ball but he failed to get it right. Pooran counts on the experience of Jason Holder and heaps his praise on Alzarri Joseph who has been in exceptional form since the beginning of 2022. Pooran is disappointed with his personal form and says that he is working hard. Hopes to find his form in the next game.
Regis Chakabva, the stand-in captain of Zimbabwe, says that his bowlers stuck to the plans and hit the right areas, especially the spinners. Further says that they tried to rush through the overs and praises his bowlers for pulling things back. Mentions that they were happy to restrict West Indies to 150-odd runs but credits Joseph for the way he bowled. Shares that the pitch played very well and the conditions remained the same throughout. Tells that they are still confident and will look to bounce back.
Alzarri Joseph is the Player of the Match for his career-best figures in T20Is - 4-0-16-0. The speedster says that this win is very encouraging but wants to stay focused and win the next match as well. Tells that he always tries to keep it tight and pick early wickets. Shares that he is working on his lengths and it depends on the batters. Mentions that the team performed brilliantly.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Nicholas Pooran won the toss and opted to bat first and the top order did get off to a decent start. Kyle Mayers and Evin Lewis both fell after getting into double figures but Johnson Charles managed to hit his way out of trouble. The middle order yet again disappointed but Rovman Powell did manage to get in a few big hits towards the fag end of the innings which ensured that the Windies got a defendable total on board. Blessing Muzarabani and Sikandar Raza starred with the ball for Zimbabwe with Sean Williams bowling decently as well. In reply, Zimbabwe had a batting collapse after getting off to a quick start with the likes of Alzarri Joseph and Jason Holder taking full advantage of the opportunity handed to them. In the end, it was a comfortable enough victory for West Indies.
West Indies seem to have turned on a new leaf with this victory and the manner in which they have got over the line will give them a lot of self-belief. They managed to get over 150 runs and then came the hostility from Alzarri Joseph who was simply sensational. The likes of Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein and Obed McCoy too bowled well in the middle phase and kept on picking up wickets. Joseph finished with 4 wickets and Holder ended with 3 as he got the final wicket as well. West Indies have the points on the board and will go into their final group game with momentum on their side.
Zimbabwe will be mightily disappointed with the way they lost the game. They couldn't finish on a high with the ball but with the bat, they started off in fine fashion with both Wesley Madhevere and Regis Chakabva getting out of the box quickly. Chakabva did fall soon but Madhevere kept on attacking. Once Tony Munyonga fell, Zimbabwe completely lost the plot and gave away 4 wickets for just 17 runs and that put them under a lot of pressure. There was a late onslaught from Luke Jongwe that breathed life back into the chase but it wasn't enough.
What a turnaround it has been for West Indies as they have turned despair into victory. With the Windies winning this game, Group B is set for a thrilling final day with all four teams sitting on 2 points each.

With half the side back in the hut, the Men in Red find themselves on the back foot. Their hopes are pinned on the current partnership. 76 needed off 60 balls, it's not an impossible task for the chasing team so West Indies would also like to close the game quickly. Akeal Hosein is back into the attack.

It's given as a run, so maybe there was some inside edge.

Alzarri Joseph To Tony Munyonga OUT!
OUT! STUMPS SHATTERED! Second wicket for Joseph. It's a rip-roaring delivery, a near-yorker on middle at 145 kph, Tony Munyonga stays leg-side of this delivery, trying to drive but is beaten for extra pace. He is late in bringing his bat down and the stumps behind are obliterated. Runs are coming for Zimbabwe but they are losing wickets at the same time. 107 needed off 91 balls.

SIX! Not in control but it has gone all the way! Alzarri Joseph digs it in short again, around off at 130 clicks, Wesley Madhevere takes his eyes off the ball as he hooks reactively. The ball flies off the top edge and has enough wings to clear the fence at backward square leg.

Width there outside off, it's stroked to deep cover. There is protection now in the deep and hence only a run.

Alzarri Joseph To Regis Chakabva OUT!
OUT! DRAGS IT ON! Superb bowling from Alzarri Joseph. He bowled a sharp bouncer and follows it up with a length delivery around off at 146 kph. As an after-effect of the last delivery, Regis Chakabva's front foot goes nowhere as he remains glued to the back foot and tries to drive it through the line. All he manages is a big inside edge and the ball deflects onto the stumps.

Alzarri Joseph To Regis Chakabva
A sharp short delivery on middle but the speed gun reads only 130 kph. Regis Chakabva is keen on the pull shot but flies over his bat.

Akeal Hosein To Wesley Madhevere
FOUR! Zimbabwe have come out with intent and West Indies are helping them with some shoddy bowling. Too full in length, around off, Wesley Madhevere drills his drive down through mid off for a boundary. It's a no ball as West Indies had one extra fielder behind square on the leg side. Free Hit coming up.
It will be spin from the other end as Akeal Hosein has been handed the ball.

FIVE WIDES! West Indies can't afford to do charity, they don't have enough in the bank. Another inswinging delivery from Mayers but it's down the leg side. The batter fails to flick and Pooran, standing up to the stumps, has no chance to cut it off. The ball scoots away to fine leg.

Kyle Mayers To Regis Chakabva
Shout for an lbw, nothing from the umpire. The keeper comes up to the stumps and Mayers bowls a full ball on off, Chakabva fails to flick this time and wears it on his pads. The appeal is not entertained and Nicholas Pooran takes a late call to refer the decision. The UltraEdge detects a big spike. West Indies lose one review.
