What's next? Day 6 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup rolls in on Thursday, 12th February with another tasty triple header. Sri Lanka face Oman in Pallekele in a Group B encounter, followed by a lively Nepal side meeting tournament newcomers Italy in Mumbai. To round off the day, hosts India lock horns with Namibia in New Delhi. The action kicks off at 5.30 am GMT, so set those alarms and join in early for all the pre-match buildup and analysis. Until then, it is goodbye. Take care and cheers.
A long day, huh? But highly entertaining. The morning clash set the tone as South Africa and Afghanistan refused to blink, pushing the contest into a second Super Over before the Proteas finally sneaked through. By the afternoon, Australia, despite being short on troops, turned it into a far more straightforward affair, cruising past Ireland in a largely one-sided contest. Come the evening, the West Indies displayed remarkable effort in all departments to get past England, winning by a big margin of 30 runs, which will do their net run rate a world of good.
The victorious captain of West Indies - SHAI HOPE says that he is just happy that they got over the line. Adds that they have been playing good cricket in patches but it was nice to get a more complete game here. Mentions that they can rely on Chase in any situation, whether with bat or ball, and he is very crucial. Tells that in this game, they sent him to bat after losing two wickets early just to stabilize the innings, as they have enough firepower down the order. Hope says that Rutherford has been in great form in this format and it was good to see one of the batters stepping up. Admits that the openers have not fired yet, but hopes they will come good. Further adds that there was not much dew as you expect here in Mumbai, and it shows that you can still defend a score while batting first. Praises Motie and says that when you have time off, you need to improve your game, and he did exactly that with his new variations and showed his class on the world stage.
The captain of England - HARRY BROOK reflects on the defeat. He admits it is never easy to take a loss but credits West Indies for an outstanding performance. He praises the sheer power in their batting line up, noting that even the slightest error in line or length can quickly disappear into the stands. At the halfway stage, Brook shares that he felt the target was chaseable. However, he says the pitch did not behave as England had anticipated. Says they expected more grip for the spinners, but it seemed to skid on instead, and things simply did not fall into place for them in this match. On the way forward, Harry stresses the need to regroup, review where they could have been better and treat it as part of tournament cricket. He points to the earlier win over Nepal as keeping them in a solid position and says the focus now shifts to the upcoming matches against Scotland and Italy, with thorough preparation and a return to basics firmly on the agenda.
... Time to hear from the two captains ...
Curran's lone battle - With no partnership really allowed to materialise, Sam Curran watched the chaos unfold at the other end while trying to hold things together almost on his own. He kept chipping away, but the equation kept climbing and the pressure kept mounting. In the end, it all proved a bit too much, and England were left staring at far too much on the plate to finish. To his good, he played a fluent, unbeaten 43 off 30.
Middle over muddle - England, however, could not capitalize on their start. Motie and Chase slammed the brakes on with clever changes of pace and subtle variations. On this surface, the slower you bowl it, the more it grips, and Chase showcased that perfectly with his control and presentation. He kept hitting those awkward lengths, never quite allowing the batters to line him up. Motie complemented him beautifully, darting it in, mixing his speeds and forcing England to manufacture shots. They both combined, supported well by Hosein, and controlled the middle overs nicely. They kept picking up regular wickets and never allowed England to break free.
A flying start into the chase - The surface was prime for batting, and England got off to a picture-perfect start in their pursuit of a huge target. Salt meant business straightaway as he provided a perfect ignition before departing. His free-flowing start helped England to get a solid base to bake the cake. Buttler and Bethell took it forward and kept the scoring high, just matching the asking rate. With 67/1 in the Powerplay, England were going at a fair clip, but Chase dismissed Buttler to bring the level back in the game.
The Men in Maroon set a perfect base - West Indies were rocked early as Archer and Curran removed both openers in the Powerplay. Hetmyer counterpunched briefly and Chase kept things ticking, being promoted up the order. But once both fell, Rutherford came in and took charge. He found boundaries for fun, brought up a breezy fifty and flipped the momentum towards West Indies as he formed handful partnerships throughout, with the biggest being between him and Holder, worth 61. Holder’s enterprising cameo further added the gloss as West Indies powered to a strong total. Apart from Rashid and Overton to an extent, every English bowler was taken apart. Rashid, in particular, was the only bowler who conceded less than run-a-ball amidst the carnage. He ended with a tidy 2 for 16, and proved why he is one of the toughest bowlers to face in this format.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - SHERFANE RUTHERFORD gets the award for his swashbuckling 76* off 42 balls. On being asked about his injury, Rutherfod informs that his finger is fine, and hopefully it will get better before the next game. Adds that one of the biggest challenges was facing Adil Rashid and it was important for him to build partnerships and bat till the end. Mentions that he has put in a lot of hard work coming into this World Cup and backed his skills. Rutherford says that he thought they were 10 runs short at the halfway mark, but credits the bowlers for stepping up and defending it. Further adds that Guyana is coming into focus due to their performances, but the whole of the West Indies will want more good performances. Ends by saying that it is just about getting better, give your best and improve as a team.
The deserved winners - It won't be any exaggeration to say that West Indies were absolutely clinical in all three departments tonight. Be it batting, bowling, or fielding, they were just a notch ahead of England throughout the game. And in T20 cricket, those moments of brilliance make a big difference. But overall, it was a highly competitive game of cricket, living upto its billing. Heartbreak for England. They just managed to escape from embarrassment against Nepal. Aimed at being sharper and more clinical this time, but it did not come together. Another tough outing, and plenty to think about as they are handed their first defeat in this World Cup.

Shamar Joseph To Adil Rashid OUT!
OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! A fantastic catch, and that is it from this game. We just have to wait for confirmation, but Roston Chase is celebrating and looks very confident. Shamar Joseph bowls a low full toss, on the leg stump line. Adil Rashid whips it away, but from the inside half of the bat, and does not get the distance. It flies towards deep square leg, where Chase runs forward, dives, and scoops it up just inches above the ground. The third umpire checks a few replays, and he is convinced the fingers are underneath the ball and it is a fair grab. The Windies did it in 2016 against England in the T20 World Cup here in Mumbai, and they have done it again. West Indies win by 30 runs.
Has Chase taken the catch cleanly? He claims that he has and West Indies are already up and about in celebration. The third umpire is called into action, but the first couple of replays don't provide conclusive evidence of his fingers under the ball cleanly. A new angle confirms that it is a clean catch. OUT loads on the giant screen.

Shamar Joseph To Sam Curran OUT!
OUT! LIAM DAWSON IS RUN OUT! Shamar Joseph bowls a low full toss, on middle, Sam Curran lofts it from the toe-end of the bat towards long on. Jason Holder runs forward but the ball drops in front of him and he fumbles while trying to grab it with his left hand. However, he recovers and throws it with his right to the bowler's end on top of the stumps. Curran had to go for the second, but Dawson is a bit slow to set off. Joseph collects the throw from Holder and breaks the stumps. Dawson puts in a dive but that does not save him. England are nine down now.
Is Liam Dawson run out at the bowling end? Holder fumbles to pick the ball up in the long on region, but recovers well and throws the ball to the bowler as there is a huge mix-up between the batters for the second run. Shamar collects the ball and whips the bails off. The replay shows that Dawson's dive didn't save him.

Two dots! Shamar Joseph sees the batter back away to the leg side and cleverly bowls this outside off. It is a full toss, but Curran has moved a long way and cannot reach it.

Shamar Joseph To Sam Curran
Fuller delivery, angling into the pads. Sam Curran has a whip across the line but misses and gets hit on the pads. That was there to be hit.
Righto, 2 overs left, England need 37 to win. Sam Curran stands between West Indies and victory. Shamar Joseph is trusted with the penultimate over. 3-0-24-0 so far are his bowling figures.

Pitched up and around middle, Sam Curran heaves it away towards deep mid-wicket. He calls for two but has to settle for one.

Jason Holder To Jofra Archer OUT!
OUT! JOFRA ARCHER IS RUN OUT! Jason Holder bowls a fine yorker, on leg. Jofra Archer tries to dig it out but misses and it hits his toes and rolls to the off side. Sam Curran calls his partner for the run, but Archer is very slow to react and loses sight of the ball, just strolls towards the other end. Holder quickly gets to the ball on his follow-through, turns around, takes aim and hits the bullseye at the bowler's end, with Archer nowhere to be seen. England are 151/8.

Jason Holder To Sam Curran
Fuller and on middle, angling in, Sam Curran loses his shape and miscues his slog off the inner half of the bat towards long on for a single.
The on-air graphic showed that West Indies are running 8 minutes behind, with 14 minutes remaining on the timer. With this pace, they likely will be forced to keep one extra fielder in the ring. Jason Holder (1-0-24-0) is brought back on.
