01:20in this tournament first game here in indiaville so i hope that brandon king they really need to get
01:25to a cracking start
01:32best in these are often running straight away
01:38this time it eludes everyone he's still struggling to get his line right and he's been out of the game
01:45out of action since the ninth of february remember that so it might take a while yeah sometimes you
01:50you might as a sympathizer say oh dear he's been unlucky it's come off the pad but essentially
01:58it's not the right line
02:04first six of the contest that was a very tricky ball to play in these conditions
02:10in sri lanka but here we are when caddy stadium true and even bounce doesn't tend to get up onto
02:17the batsman so he's climbed into his work there that'll be a lovely little confidence booster
02:25straight to him richard and driver strikes back can you live in the length where you think that you
02:33can present the most danger yes he's changed it up but he said go again if you'd like i've got
02:40fielders back there as they had over in sri lanka king gone west indies 17 for one shimron hepmeyer
02:54easy stuff for shimron hepmeyer first ball full dispatch
03:02over fine leg risky but hepmeyer with another boundary fine leg up
03:09that's easy pickings gets it anywhere full use a slip the captain said bud i've got a slip for you
03:21oh dropped it oh goodness me
03:28he's been the man actually him secure to take all of those catches go back to sri lanka and
03:34he needed to take that oh look at that
03:41it's gone past blessing and will be four
03:48and it's a dime each week at the moment for richard indor arpa one two straight one two wide
03:57stunning absolutely stunning from hepmeyer no wasted movement no fuss just stays down on the ball and hits
04:06through it oh brilliant the timing there super commanding it really is from the west indian captain
04:21she hope
04:25efficiency there he goes again fielder in the deep though this time he takes the catch
04:30wonderful stuff
04:32bennett with the garb
04:39excellent takes j-hope he's out for 14 54 for two new batter for the west indies former captain rovman
04:48powell
04:51this is what he does he is a spin hitter the shimmon admire this is beautiful little shimmy
04:59just a tiny shimmy to get close to it there's no side in the world big enough
05:08he goes again fielder in the deep watches it sail over his head just enough from hepmeyer consecutive sixes
05:18he does that so well
05:23he really transfers his way and allows the back to come through
05:27hit opened almost a split step backwards 91 meters
05:35goes again fielder there watches it go over his head
05:42goes again half century a record innings here from shimmon admire
05:48the fastest by a west indian in t20 welcome look at that smile
05:56and he is on absolute fire this is a master class in striking against spin
06:06goes again this is even further perhaps the biggest of the night
06:10there's a calm control dominance that we're seeing here tonight from shimron admire
06:19four again these cut shots show the presence of mine that shimron had my hands
06:29gone big again it's gone higher than far msaki
06:34oh didn't get the hands up
06:40the sporting gods they are a sinister bunch of all the people that were going to be under that catch
06:47barely even lays a mid on it you could see the panic the sheer almost terror tries to get the
06:53hand up into the lights and gets nothing of it
06:58shot power and pace through the hitting zone six up look at his hands there's a
07:06whippage out to the onside oh this is entertaining stuff the west indies guarantee that don't they
07:16one bounce and across the ropes four runs
07:24launched launched oh that's second tier stuff the power of power
07:32it's very hard folks on the television to see what a man mountain this individual is he is just a
07:39ball of
07:39muscle 106 meters just destroyed
07:48wow
07:51it's the brute strength that comes through with most of the shots that he's playing
07:56this is good to watch
08:00Graham creamer back and there's 50 for rovman powell it's the first for him in this t20 world cup
08:10it's a 10th in his t20 international career happy to get the runs
08:21there's enough on that it's gone for six more
08:27hasn't got that hasn't got that bennett takes it
08:32top catch again not pulling the leg spin but going for the straight to one didn't turn enough
08:40it's slightly bigger boundary brian bennett takes a good running catch head fire goes for 85
08:49zimbabwe or rather rest of these 176 for three
08:52i've watched him for about a month and a month and a half chauvain rutherford
08:57and my goodness can he power a ball out the park
09:05and he's been there long enough now to take charge on any type of bowling spin or piece
09:12all he had to do was step into that that is like a throw down in the form that he
09:16is in tonight
09:18he was 20 off 20
09:24straight to him straight to him he should have been in to be attacked a number of overs ago we've
09:31talked about it trump card said a little too late you feel
09:36difficult to control the box of motorzabani robber powell for 59
09:42194 for four west indies and the terminator has come to the crease from ariel shepherd
09:51such fast hands brings up the 200
09:55this shows where the mindset is to the rest of these players you're not trying to slap those
09:59balls straight or to the leg side anymore you're content and backing the skill to cut and punch
10:08so he's shown you his fast hands off side now he's showing you the fast hands on side
10:18he's so strong this is power this is brute force
10:29tremendous power from romario shepherd west indies know he's a vital component of their piece of the puzzle
10:41they take some catching and safely held
10:47leaning back just a little bit from mario shepherd again in height plenty of it
10:51not much distance and he's gone for cameo 21 off 10 229 for five ds indies
11:07magnificent this should be illegal
11:11he's carved that with a conventional cover drive 74 meters long
11:22now they played together about seven years ago on the county circuit
11:27and jason holder's had the better of the start of this over all grace and polish
11:35back into the pitch and that's gone too
11:39this is as good as a start you could want as a batter
11:43and he knew from the time it left it back it was maximum 93 meters
11:50he's seen some massive hits today
11:55yeah wide wide and got in good skills face off and wide
12:03so he beat him that planting step was made hand started to come through
12:09it's such a good time of the wall jason holder could only time it to love all he's 13 off
12:144
12:152 48 for 6. matthew ford
12:23squirts away for four but this has been an impressive innings
12:28by the west indies highest team score of this men's world cup 254 for six of their 20 overs
12:38a sensational knock from shimran hattemaya carry on it's good form
12:43no second leading run score in this tournament 85 from 34 for him a brilliant partnership with
12:49rodman paul he got 59 and rutherford and all the others small cameo
12:53marumani having watched marumani bat in the league stages a couple of shots that he really likes is
13:03obviously one the reverse sweep placed that quite nicely and then to left arm spinners obviously
13:09targets going over mid on as well he's got to bring that to the fore today
13:18fielder out there oh dear spin done him totally four runs
13:24marumani going for the sweep yet again he knows boundaries are of the need of the hour
13:28and this one hit maya had no chance there
13:35nicely played
13:39marumani gets it away it goes for six
13:41he's tried the sweep a few times this over one lbw appeal
13:46one boundary and this one a bit of a top edge but he's going to take the result
13:57that's off the edge
14:00diving shammar joseph khanprez vented going to the boundary
14:05second boundary for zimbabwe in a couple of deliveries where it's not been timed well but
14:10they're getting the result that they would like good effort from shammar joseph
14:16take one oopsie he'll get more than that it's been kicked off to the fence it'll go for four
14:26off the edge hit maya hit maya takes the catch it's the one time where a miss field which should
14:33have
14:33been won allows it to go for a boundary and it's just length so the same batter that's a good
14:39catch but
14:40again matthew ford with that little movement little lateral movement from a good length
14:45and it's hard to hit through the line of the ball because of that
14:50marumani goes for 14 24-1 zimbabwe and in comes dion myers the same to bennett
15:02in the air and off the pitch as well top of off they say and that's what aki lussein delivers
15:08for west indies two wickets and two balls he goes for 5 20 for two ryan burl is in
15:19there's a fail there hetmeier again oh dear balls gone three down in no time at all three wickets
15:30in under three overs they're looking for the big hits but the skill of the west indian bowlers coming
15:36through quite nicely here he goes without troubling the scorers the bobby 20 in comes zikanda raza
15:51dean myers plants one into the crowd top shot that picking the line of the ball and going through with
15:59it if the same ball had turned a little bit more you'd probably end up top edging it to point
16:03but this
16:04one didn't turn and it went straight into the midwick it stands
16:11what a shot over extra cover
16:17clean them up that's the response from good akash moti he's so good at getting wickets through the
16:24middle overs
16:27you've seen beautifully not as much turn playing across the line
16:31it is a challenging shot it's just the accuracy he hits the stump so often moti
16:38eyes out for 28 52 for four stone even younger the new batter for zimbabwe
16:48just in the gap
16:52there you go katie he loves to sweep and sweeps well another maximum good connection from one younger
17:00he makes good adjustment in terms of getting his position out the way the hands are high
17:04he's purposely trying to hit that up and over that field or in that shorter boundary
17:11yeah that's how it helped all the way for six by second around that's using pace
17:17we keep giving himself some room to try and get through the offside and he kept following him
17:21stood still on this occasion that's old school pull shot matthew hayden
17:30about 10 rolls back from sekanda raza there's a clean strike from sekanda raza
17:37but he won't be happy he's gone a little wider
17:39but it's a little too full that's a change up to get him to go against the line
17:45he's gone straight and he's gone big
17:50so good so very good not for the first time tonight we've seen it
17:55previously from akhil and then moti and now moti again a gem
18:04outstanding delivery yet again and this is when you think as a captain did i make the right decision
18:08to bowl first felt like a dry pitch they thought it wouldn't turn but clearly not
18:14this pitch has a lot of turn in it and the west india spinners are making merry
18:19second the raza the skipper goes for 27 zimbabwe sinking down 94 for five
18:27another one two and two for guna kish multi he really enjoys these middle overs as enjoying this
18:35surface that's a great example of using your variations this one didn't turn at all went straight
18:42just a little bit of break from the pitch top of off again but sakiva has had a day to
18:48forget
18:50zimbabwe 94 for six
18:57straight to him and taken multi is having a field night
19:03they travel quickly to shamar joseph west indies are eating this up here at the wankity
19:12once again wicket to wicket that was flat that was hard not an easy cap at least not as easy
19:18as
19:18tomorrow joseph made it look i'm younger gone for 1400 for sovereigns above you
19:27green creamer
19:31and because he's one of the tallest in the tournament that's like just plucking an apple
19:37off the tree for jason holder he's into the wickets now
19:44special catch crossing rushing him hitting on the sticker and then this special plaque
19:53made it look so easy
19:58and encapsulates what a fantastic day and night the west indies have been having 102 for eight zimbabwe
20:07blessing muzarabani comes in
20:13that's gone a long way out shamar joseph runs in wanted it right from the beginning
20:22and a good example that of getting there early and gets into position and with the depth perception so
20:30difficult in the night once you're under it you're better placed to make sure that you can buy a
20:37reverse cup take it in it went a long way up gets the early settles then it hits his hands
20:45and he can
20:46keep a hold of it blessing gone for a duck 103 for nine richard and garava walks out
20:57richard and garava whacks one out the path he looked the first deliveries as if he was going to go
21:05big
21:09nicely done evans with four more absolutely we've done it quite nicely
21:25brad evans enjoyed these last two shots more than he enjoyed these two rickets
21:29one a little dab load that sterity and then the full hammer 90 meters
21:36oh and again yes sir good extension of arms smacked in front he'd be proud of those two shots
21:52lovely using the pace that run rate 7.55 positive
22:03not even holder can reach that
22:09this is clean striking this is actually so good to watch he's playing each ball and it's merit
22:18there's a game awareness refusing the single
22:25take another use the pace again
22:33up in the air and gone evans undone by the slower delivery and they've been the west indies like a
22:44purring
22:44mustang because they've dominated tonight and made sure that their super eight journey
22:53begins in fine style a win here for them the west indies by 107 runs led by that man shimran
23:04hitmeyer
23:05a look at the summary then 254 for six plays 147 west indies winning by 107 runs
23:14and it is the highest margin of victory in this t20 world cup
