..THE CHASE...
Nepal were good with the new ball but as the game progressed, they had no answers to the powerful hitting. Most of their bowlers had high economy rates but the likes of Lalit Rajbanshi and Sandeep Lamichhane were quite decent. Especially the former who was the pick. However, their batters are now left with a tall task. They will have to bat out of their skins if they are to chase it down. Windies on the other hand, will back themselves to defend this. Stay tuned for the chase in a bit.
End of another power-packed batting display from the Windies! Yet again, the start was not all that good as they lost three early wickets but then came the stand which turned the tide towards them. It was a massive partnership between Hope and Pooran. The latter was dropped earlier in the innings and he made Nepal pay. Both scored tons and when they were batting 350 looked possible but Windies lost wickets towards the end and they have fallen short of that mark. They though will be very pleased with the score they have on the board.
OUT! TIMBER! Lalit Rajbanshi has been outstanding and what a final over he has bowled. He gets his third. A yorker on middle, Keemo Paul looks to make room and hit it through the off side but misses and the stumps are shattered. West Indies END WITH 339 FOR 7!
Another one on the fuller side and around off, this is pushed through covers for one.
FOUR! Up and over! This is tossed up on off, it is lofted over cover for a boundary. Welcome one.
On off, this is pushed down to long off for one.
OUT! TAKEN! Shai Hope now falls after an outstanding knock! This is tossed up on off, it is lofted down towards long off. It does not have the distance and it is taken by the fielder there.
FOUR MORE! Unlucky for the bowler! A yorker outside off, Shai Hope looks to jam it out, it goes off the bottom edge down to the third man fence.
Around off, this is hit through covers for a single.
Around off, this is guided through point for one.
On the pads, Jason Holder misses the flick, it hits the pad and goes towards fine leg. Two taken.
