00:00What a start to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.
00:16We move from Colombo to Kolkata to the City of Joy.
00:20The first game, what a thriller that was.
00:23Expectations are high as West Indies take on Scotland
00:27in match two of this global showpiece event.
00:32The story of redemption against repetition.
00:36These players with a lot of experience from a West Indian standpoint
00:40and the Scottish players looking to make their mark on the world stage yet again.
00:46A few moments ago, Scotland won the toss and Richie Barrington decided that he wanted to bowl first.
00:53So we're here at Eden Gardens.
00:56Ten years ago, that iconic final played and returned for ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
01:04The dynamism starts.
01:06Heckmar, Powell, Robert Furr, Sheppard, Holder.
01:08They will be key and catfish to 2200 scores that they would need.
01:13For the Scots, it will be a debut for Oli Davidson.
01:17A debut in this format for New Zealanders Tom Bruce.
01:21They are tough, heavy batting line-up.
01:23So a lot of these relied upon from George Munsey across McMullen.
01:27And they've got a very varied bowling line-up.
01:30Remember, they won the toss and they elected to bowl first.
01:34A lot of excitement ensues.
01:38A lot of expectations as well.
01:41And Scotland will remember four years ago
01:44when they registered that victory against the West Indies.
01:48Brandon McMullen, someone we have so much time for as a genuine all-rounder.
01:53Caused a real stir for the West Indies in the 50-over format.
01:58Let's play!
02:00OK.
02:01Scotland then and West Indies get their tournament underway.
02:06And that is a sweet, sweet start.
02:09What a beautiful start to his World Cup.
02:12Third is very, very wide.
02:15And Mark Watters up inside the circle at the shortfield as well.
02:21So there's runs to be had.
02:23Crunched.
02:28Absolutely crunched from Shear.
02:32Couple wide deliveries before Awani left.
02:35Yeah, early signs are that this is the kind of surface you don't really want to leave the stumps.
02:41Every time so far that Scotland have offered with, they've been punished.
02:46Yeah, that's a, a signal straight after that brick.
02:56For six off the match.
02:58Yeah, uses his feet, dances down and, and holds his shape there.
03:01Real strong cricket shot.
03:03Moses got it off, off the middle.
03:07There's an over-hitter.
03:09What a shot, that really is regal from Brandon King.
03:19Hey!
03:20Placement and timing, perfection.
03:26Another brilliant bit of batting from Brandon King.
03:306-4-4, expensive resumption for Scotland.
03:35Yeah!
03:37Clean him up.
03:38This is what he can do.
03:40Michael Isk straight away introduced into the attack.
03:44And goes through and through Shear Hope.
03:47What a moment.
03:48A significant strike in the context of this match.
03:52It's a little bit of swing almost.
03:54Shear Hope going across the line.
03:57He pays the price, the light for Michael Isk.
04:00Shear Hope goes for 19.
04:03West Indies, 54 for one.
04:06In at number three, Shumran Hitmeyer.
04:08Wonderful V in of form quite recently in that series against South Africa.
04:13That's it!
04:16Yes, straight to him.
04:18On the rebound, George Munzi takes the catch.
04:21Well, it was shorted wide and asking to be hit.
04:24And he's lashed at it.
04:26George Munzi, who's quite close there at backward point.
04:30Does enough to hold on to it.
04:33Absolute delight for Davidson.
04:35Well deserved.
04:37Brandon King goes for 35.
04:39West Indies, 58 for two.
04:41Rothman Powell in at number four for the West Indies.
04:44Lots of experience.
04:45IPL experience.
04:46Experience in these conditions.
04:48Now this is what he does, Shumran Hitmeyer.
04:52He's a very strong starter.
04:55Well Hitmeyer's going to be key here for the West Indies in the way he can dominate spin.
05:01Have some of this.
05:05Oh, I've seen it for so long now.
05:08Hitmeyer, the maximum.
05:12Clinical from Shumran Hitmeyer.
05:16Full on sliding past leg stump.
05:18I'm sure you'll see if it were to go to DRS.
05:21And just clearing the front leg and smiting it in the gap.
05:25Hitmeyer striking at just over 1.50.
05:28Early doors.
05:29Here's Powell.
05:31He decides to get the dancing shoes on.
05:34And the wrist work.
05:36Fromers.
05:37To the rescue.
05:38Pick that up.
05:39It's 81 for Tumi.
05:41Trying to dance in the stands.
05:44Dancing in the middle as well.
05:46Down the track and bang.
05:53That is in the arc too.
05:55For Hitmeyer.
05:57Who's fatted this one all the way.
06:00That feels good he says.
06:03Massive.
06:08Pace on that one.
06:09Look at that arm ball or caram ball.
06:12Pushed it through and pushed it too fully.
06:18It's a little slower but the line's no good here.
06:21From Mark Watt.
06:22He's been dispatched for back-to-back sixes now.
06:29Real tight replay.
06:33Leather ball.
06:34That's right.
06:35Just using the angle.
06:36Using the pace.
06:37Not trying to get it too square.
06:40Oh.
06:41Do not get into those pads.
06:42He'll hit.
06:43Oh.
06:44Schindler.
06:45Here's number five.
06:50Again special quality from Schindler.
06:52Pick it up.
06:53Pick it up off.
06:54He's good.
06:55And swivel.
06:56Behind square.
06:57Well behind square.
06:58Almost got a wide fine leg.
07:04Timing to the floor.
07:05And across the practice pitches it races away.
07:08Seventeen is well off that one.
07:10It's one fifteen for two heaps.
07:17That is sensational.
07:19From Shimron Hickmayer.
07:21A deserved 50.
07:25Of just 22 balls.
07:27The fastest 50 by OS Indian in a World Cup.
07:39That is high.
07:40Is it far enough?
07:41Yes it is.
07:42Yes it is.
07:46Yeah four tosses.
07:47Seems to be much of a hit me and he did hit it.
07:50You wonder if he hit it well enough.
07:53Sharif was in the game.
07:56Right until the bitter end.
08:02Rodman Powell goes leg side but not far enough this time.
08:08Michael Jones the catcher out in the deep.
08:13Yeah that's what you want as a bowler.
08:15Just to get off centre in the bat.
08:18So it was not off the middle and so.
08:20He fell short of where he was aiming.
08:23Powell goes for 24-14.
08:26139 for three.
08:28Six hitter comes to the crease.
08:30Shefane Rutherford will be eyeing up that leg side.
08:33That's his particular area of strength.
08:36Hetmeier swings to leg and swings for another boundary.
08:46Done!
08:47Keep it there.
08:48The Yorker followed by something wide.
08:51And a bit slower.
08:53Rutherford holds his nerves.
08:54Steers it backward and point.
08:55Four more.
08:59Offside goes Rutherford.
09:02It is a beautiful strike over extra cover.
09:06And another towering six.
09:11Yep they know it.
09:12He has such tremendous strength.
09:14Looking to hold that sort of.
09:18Seema type delivery Mark Watson.
09:22But in the slot.
09:23Well that's where he goes.
09:28And the response from Rutherford.
09:31Is a perfect one.
09:32He steers that away.
09:35Backward of points.
09:36It hurried away to the boundary.
09:38So this is a really good.
09:40Innings from Rutherford.
09:4225 from 11.
09:43Giving Hetmeier support.
09:45And West Indies into the 170s.
09:50Full toss.
09:51Swung away.
09:53Oh brilliant.
09:54Great catch.
09:56McMullen out in the deep.
09:59Excellent catch.
10:00Running away to his length.
10:01To his left.
10:02A full length dive.
10:03Taking it low in the end.
10:05And a smile of delight.
10:07Ends the innings.
10:08For Shinron Hetmeier.
10:10Well what are the innings.
10:1164 from 36.
10:12175 for four.
10:15Brings Romario Shepard.
10:16To the middle.
10:17Six balls remaining.
10:18Slower ball.
10:19Rutherford goes offside.
10:20Should be out.
10:21Is out.
10:22Michael Jones again.
10:23Corrie strikes.
10:24Scotland strikes.
10:25And Rutherford goes.
10:26Yeah consecutive wickets for Scotland.
10:27And so Rutherford goes for 26.
10:28One seven.
10:29Five for five.
10:30Fuller this time.
10:31Mario Shepard goes straight.
10:32One handed straight.
10:33Just about.
10:34Good enough.
10:35Six says.
10:36Nitten Menon.
10:37Six says.
10:38Nitten Menon.
10:39And it's a live game.
10:40And so Rutherford goes for 26.
10:42One seven.
10:43Five for five.
10:44Fuller this time.
10:45Mario Shepard goes straight.
10:46One handed straight.
10:47Just about.
10:48Good enough.
10:49Six says.
10:50Nitten Menon.
10:51Fuller this time, Romario Shepard goes straight, one-handed straight, just about good enough, six says Nitin Menon, West Indies needed that, shorter, slower, Romario Shepard can't connect, that's a good last two overs for Scotland, conceding just 15, 182 for five, West Indies finish.
11:21Well, West Indies put into bat by Scotland today, they made 182 for five in their 20 overs.
11:41All in all, 182 to chase, 183 to win.
11:47Yeah, well looked to get after things in that opening power play.
11:51Richie Barrington, vastly experienced, and Tom Bruce, who adds a little ballast to that role.
12:00Captain Shea Hope gives his final thoughts to his West Indies team.
12:07The highest chase down the score.
12:09If he won against Ireland in Oman, he beats into his fifth World Cup, so a lot of experience.
12:16Michael Jones at the non-striker's end.
12:33Excellent running, Michael Jones very quick to respond at the non-striker's end.
12:37And as he goes leg side, he's such a strong player, square and just behind square on the leg side.
12:51Swung away.
12:52But only as far as deep, square leg.
12:57Rutherford it is out there, who's taken a very simple catch.
13:0399th wicket for West Indies.
13:05Michael Jones goes for one, Scotland 7 for one.
13:08Brandon McMullen to the crease, in pretty good form.
13:16Lovely shot down the ground.
13:18Use of the feet as well, not easy to hold it because of the height.
13:24Take that, what a shot that is.
13:26Helped away over the leg side.
13:28He's picked up the length so quickly here.
13:30It's just a hard length into the wicket.
13:31He's got all of that.
13:35He's got all of that.
13:40Gets it through, just timed really.
13:42He's more of a bludgeoner of the ball, Munzey, but this was pushed and timed through the offside.
13:51Got him looking to scoop it over short, fine leg because the man is up inside the circle.
13:57But a bottom edge crashes into the stump, so McMullen's innings is done.
14:03And Romario Shepard strikes.
14:05Scotland 31 for two, McMullen goes for 14.
14:10Then comes Ritchie Barrington, the skipper.
14:17It wasn't that far away, but it was in the air for a certain amount of time.
14:23The skides of this one through the offside.
14:26A little bit of whiff.
14:29He finds the gap really well.
14:35Oh, the left hand is hit.
14:36Are you kidding?
14:37No!
14:39Hit by!
14:40Yeah!
14:42Look out, here comes Shemar.
14:45The ball.
14:46Oh yeah, there you go.
14:48Celebration City here in the joy of it.
14:51Eden Gardens put this in the locker.
14:55Yeah, George, boy, you can't believe it.
15:00George Munsey departs for 19.
15:0337 for three, Scotland.
15:04It's sunsetting very quickly.
15:08Here is Tom Bruce.
15:14Up, up, up.
15:15And big.
15:17Welcome.
15:18Akeel is signed to the contest.
15:20Barrington goes big.
15:24To give himself that room, that ball was on leg stomp, maybe even slightly outside leg.
15:30But he's been struck for six over wide long off.
15:33So that's a real skill.
15:35No authority there, but of luck for Captain Barrington.
15:44A little bit of width on offer.
15:46Just a minute.
15:48Tom Bruce, he was an overseas player at Old Trafford as well.
15:51He's got to get things going.
15:53But Ritchie Barrington, it is for the moment, who is pummeling that ball away leg side.
15:59Good from Barrington.
16:04Really good transfer of weight.
16:06Back into the creason.
16:08That's a powerful blow through the leg side from Tom Bruce.
16:18Maybe that free hit that he squeezed away for four from Shamar Joseph was just the point.
16:24He's muscled this away over the leg side.
16:26It was a slower ball out of the back of the hand.
16:29He didn't middle it.
16:30Came from off low down near the bottom of the bat.
16:33So there's plenty of muscle and power to get that over the rope.
16:38Carved away, short and wide from Romario Shepard.
16:45More boundaries coming.
16:48Two balls remaining and just a bit of pressure here on Romario Shepard as Shea Hope moves from his position behind the stumps to have a word with his bowler.
17:02That's gone a long way.
17:04It was short from Moti and has been pummeled.
17:08And now he's begun to pick up the pace.
17:10This was a rank half-tracker really from Moti and got the treatment it deserved.
17:14Jason Holder.
17:23Gone, got him.
17:26Shamar Joseph is out at deep cover.
17:28It's a significant wicket in the context of this game because it's Scotland's captain, Richie Barrington, who goes.
17:35And a significant one for Jason Holder, whose 100th wicket, that is.
17:43Another milestone for Jason Holder.
17:46The process behind it.
17:48Two fielders set deep on the offside.
17:51More often than not, you look to see that widey orca.
17:54And a good knock has come to it.
17:56And leading from the front, 44, 42 from 24.
18:00And the score, 115 for 4, Scotland.
18:05Matthew Cross comes to the crease.
18:07Oh, yes, thought so.
18:14Only height the umpire had to consider there.
18:22Satisfied.
18:23No bat involved.
18:25Ball tracking, please.
18:25Fitting outside of impact in line, wickets hitting, original decision out.
18:35Nitin, stay with your decision of out.
18:36I'll let you know when you're on screen.
18:38You're on screen signal now.
18:39Excellent decision from Nitin.
18:41Menon and Pombroos was fearful enough that he almost left.
18:55Oh, he's punched in the time down the ground.
19:06Preston, it's at length you're on about.
19:12Oh.
19:15Hang on.
19:16Just like that, I just thought for a split second there.
19:18She might have been on the hard volley.
19:20A little bump ball, but no.
19:23It's the end of Matthew Cross here.
19:25It's a disappointing way to go for Cross here.
19:32You'd think that's where he would have wanted him to bowl with the field that he had.
19:35Gave him the width on the offside.
19:38But in the end, just scoops it up.
19:41Matthew Cross goes for 11, Scotland, 133 for 6.
19:47Here's your mate.
19:49Give it some Humpty.
19:55Has he got enough of this?
19:59Rodman.
20:01There's another very comfortable catch in the end for Rodman Powell.
20:05There's another very comfortable catch in the end for Rodman Powell.
20:06There's another very comfortable catch in the end for Rodman Powell.
20:09Pace on, cross seam.
20:11Markle Lise thought it was in the slot.
20:13He went for it first ball.
20:17A great catch in the end.
20:19Hopefully he hasn't done damage there.
20:23Markle Lise casts a go.
20:24First ball duck, Scotland, 133 for 7.
20:30Oliver Davidson on debuts out there.
20:33Ollie Davidson.
20:36Oh, there it is.
20:39Celebration City here in Calcutta.
20:42Yeah, they're coming from everywhere to swap Romario Shepard, who gets a hat-trick here at Eden Gardens.
20:52What a way to get it as well.
20:55Stumpside everywhere.
20:57Feet didn't get moving at all.
21:00Blades onto it.
21:02And look at the delights.
21:03Very well deserved.
21:06Davidson goes for a duck.
21:07Scotland, 133 for 8.
21:09Yeah, it's great to see the smiles on the West Indies' faces.
21:14There's been a real buzz about them today.
21:21Oh, there it is.
21:22And there's Jason Holder saying,
21:25Listen, mate, you can't get four from four, but now you've got four from five.
21:31To do it, you can only find out Holder at mid-off, who makes no mistake this time around.
21:39And he knows it's Pfeiffer at T20 World Cup.
21:44Pfeiffer, very special moment.
21:49Safiyan Sharif goes without troubling the scorers.
21:51Scotland, 133 for 9.
21:54For the West Indies.
21:55Miss hit.
21:59No one back there.
22:00Off timing for Mark Watt.
22:06Again, he's going nice and straight.
22:09Back-to-back boundaries here for Mark Watt.
22:12And taken.
22:19Is that Romario?
22:20Oh, you can't get him out of the game.
22:23A five for a hat-trick.
22:25And takes the last wicket, courtesy of a catch, of Jason Holder.
22:29And it certainly smiles and high-fives everywhere.
22:32He's not a bad if.
22:37I think he's slightly mistimed the jump there, but he can do no wrong tonight.
22:42The Babin Gordia.
22:43Five for Romario Shepard.
22:46Certainly hold on to that to go with a hat-trick.
22:48Five for 20.
22:50Munzey, 19.
22:52And 14 to McMullen.
22:54And Barrington and Bruce got into the 40s and 35s, respectively.
22:58Yeah, 35 runs.
23:04Yeah, it is a big margin.
23:05It's a decent margin in 2020 cricket.
