West Indies vs Scotland Live Score, T20 World Cup: Shimron Hetmyer Breaks Chris Gayle's Record As WI Post 182/5

We are all set for Scotland's reply. Michael Jones has walked out in the middle with George Munsey to open for Scotland. Matthew Forde is set to bowl the first over of this chase.

... The Run Chase ...

Up for a quick chat - Shimron Hetmyer says the outing was a mix of good and bad. The good was being out in the middle and contributing, while the bad was just how hot it was out there. He jokes that it seemed like he was the only one really feeling the heat, adding that he even asked the umpires, who told him they did not feel it as much. He says the key for him is batting with a clear mind and being ready to cash in whenever the ball is there to be hit. He adds that everyone knows that the West Indies are a strong boundary-hitting side, but where they can fall short at times is in managing singles and dot balls, and that is something they are keen to improve by limiting the number of dots.

Hetmyer's swashbuckling knock - Hetmyer was at his brutal best, racing to a 22-ball fifty and setting a new record as the fastest West Indian to reach the mark in a T20 World Cup. Powell eventually fell when Currie snapped the partnership, but by then the rescue job was done and the stage was set perfectly for a big finish. Sherfane Rutherford came out swinging and through his cameo of 26 runs, he ensured that the scoring never dipped. Scotland couldn't string wickets regularly in that middle phase and their bowlers were taken apart. Brad Currie was the only one with an economy of under 6. It would require a strong start for Scotland to scale down this target against a West Indian bowling attack that has quality aplenty. Should be an interesting chase ahead. Stay tuned.

A solid resurrection in the middle overs - Shimron Hetmyer may have touched down in India late, but he made sure no one missed his arrival. Walking in with West Indies wobbling, he joined forces with Rovman Powell and completely changed the tone of the innings. Their counterpunching stand of 81 dragged the Men in Maroon out of trouble and turned the middle overs into a scoring spree, with 105 runs hammered between overs 7 and 15.

A cagey start, no freebies early - Scotland showed a lot of discipline with the new ball and didn't allow any sort of freedom for the West Indian openers to tee off from the outset. Hope and King played a few ambitious strokes, but were rather watchful in the Powerplay. Scots didn't get any wickets during the field restrictions as West Indies crawled to 33/0 in the first six. In an attempt to accelerate, both the openers were dismissed in quick time, which pushed West Indies for another rebuild with 66/2 on the board at halfway.

A strong finish in the end - West Indies were barely ticking at a run a ball through the first half, but the backend told a very different story as they blasted 116 runs in the last ten overs. Scotland did claw back a bit of control at the death, conceding just 15 runs across the last two, but the damage had already been done. From a sluggish start to a commanding finish, West Indies still ended up with a hefty total on the board and would be the happier of the two sides walking back in the dugout.

A dot to end the innings! Superb final over from Brad Currie. Brad goes into the surface, outside off. Romario Shepherd does not pick the slower one and swings way too early. The ball sneaks under his blade and Matthew Cross manages to get his body behind the ball. Just 7 runs off the last over. 15 off the last 2. West Indies finish with 182 on the board!

SIX! One hand comes off the handle, but it does not matter. Romario Shepherd's power takes it over the ropes. Cross-seam delivery, Currie goes searching for the yorker. It comes out as a low full toss, on off. Romario swings through the line. The ball catches the toe end of the blade but it clears the straight boundary. The long on and long off fielders got around but only watched it sailed over the fence.

Nicely bowled! Currie keeps it away from the batter's hitting arc, on a good length, flirting with the tramline. Romario Shepherd clears the front leg and gives it a heave but the ball goes over his blade. Matthew Cross, standing up to the stumps, manages to make the stop.

Low full toss, on middle, Matthew swings hard again but only gets the height. It is mistimed and the ball drops in the vacant mid on region. They cross.

A big swing and a miss! Sticks to the off-pace delivery, does Currie, on a good length, angling away. Matthew Forde swings for the hills but is early into the shot and fails to connect. 2 wickets and just 8 runs in the last 8 balls.

Another one bites the dust. Matthew Forde is the new batter in. Five balls to go...

OUT! CAUGHT! Back-to-back wickets for Scotland. Currie does not offer any pace, on a back of a length, outside off, Rutherford stays on the back foot and has a big swing at it. Neither does he get the elevation, nor is it wide enough of the fielder in the deep. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of deep cover, where Michael Jones makes no mistake. A handy 26 off 13 for Rutherford. West Indies are now 175/5.

Final over coming up. Brad Currie (3-0-16-1) to wrap up. Romario Shepherd walks in at number 6.

OUT! TAKEN! Brilliant grab by Brandon McMullen. Sharif goes searching for the yorker but ends up serving a high full toss, outside off. Hetmyer shuffles across to get closer to the line of the ball. He smears it aerially towards wide long on, where McMullen moves to his left and slides to take the catch. Brandon reaches out with his hands. The ball threatens to pop out of his left hand, but he just about manages to cling on. End of an impactful knock from Hetmyer, 64 runs off 36 balls.

Is that a clean catch by McMullen? Oh, hang on, the on-umpires look satisfied with the catch, but they are actually checking for the legality of the delivery. The side-on replay comes up and the third umpire confirms that the ball is dipping below the waist height of the batter.

Lowish full toss, on off. Sherfane Rutherford swings to go down the ground. Gets it right off the toe end of the blade and it dribbles to long off for just a single.

FOUR! Skilful shot! Sharif nails the yorker, right in the blochkole, around off. Rutherford hurriedly gets his bat down and slices it with an open bat face wide of deep backward point for a four.

Off-cutter, running across, on a length, Shimron reaches out and thumps it over cover. It is mopped up by the fielder in the deep. Just a single.
