Jordan: "Hoping for a Ugandan upset today to help my beloved Black Caps get out of the hole they seem to have found themselves in."

Pitch Report: Same surface as yesterday is being used. Square boundaries are slightly skewed - 70m to one side, 77m to the other side. The track was challenging yesterday because of the variable bounce and that could be a cause for concern. Samuel Badree expects the pitch to play in similar fashion. Keeping wickets in hand for the back half could be key and could be where teams get their runs.

3.2
Kyewuta to Charles, SIX, 115.8kph, pace off and full in length. Charles backs away and backs himself to clear the fence. Bends his back leg and swings over long-on. Holds his shape and gets enough elevation to hit it over the fielder in the deep for an 88m six

3.4
Kyewuta to Charles, 3 runs, dropped! 130.5kph, Charles backs away to loft over mid-off. Miscues off the lower part of the bat. Mid-off back-pedals and covers good distance

West Indies seem to have had enough of the pushing and prodding. They are now going to come after Uganda in these last two powerplay overs. That, though, could also present Uganda with wicket-taking opportunities. Ramjani is back

4.2
Alpesh Ramjani to Brandon King, FOUR, 88.8kph, top shot. Brandon King manufactures room by backing away a long way. The ball is outside leg and King still manages to slap it through extra cover

Alpesh Ramjani to Brandon King, out Bowled!! Alpesh Ramjani has his revenge! FOUR and OUT! 94.9kph, quicker one from the left-armer, skids off the deck and Brandon King is late into his shot as he goes back to flick it away. Beats the inside edge, thuds into his pads before deflecting onto the sticks

Brandon King b Alpesh Ramjani 13( [4s-2]

Beat bad bowling!!!

In reply to Narper

While watching the ODI WC game with Kenya in '96, I had a bad feeling about the proceedings and
turned off the game( Had a big satellite dish then) and woke next morning to find out that Kenya
had won.
Hope this not repeat but I gone till tomorrow.

Alpesh Ramjani to Pooran, SIX, Pooran gets off the mark with a towering six. Full and in the slot, Pooran is quick to get down and unleash the slogsweep it over deep midwicket. High and handsome

666666 again

5.3
Juma Miyagi to Pooran, SIX, harmless short ball that sits up nicely for the batter. Pooran stands tall and pummels it over deep square leg for an 86m six

West Indies will be happy with their powerplay effort, although in an ideal world, they'd have wanted a few more. Can Uganda stem this run-flow in the middle overs? Nsubuga into the attack. Over the wicket to Charles

666666

6.5
Nsubuga to Charles, SIX, just over Mukasa! Charles gets down on one leg to slogsweep. Noit quite off the middle of the bat and it's the longer boundary. Mukasa, a few inches in front of rope at deep midwicket, jumps but the ball

66666

Pooran this time

7.3
Masaba to Pooran, SIX, waltzes down the track does Pooran, isn't quite to the pitch of the ball but he swings hard to loft it high and over long-on for an 88m six

In reply to Narper

Hey Narps ...

Ah heard Pondie put a licking on Halliwell lollypops ( he calls dem off breaks)for some massive 6's like Poo is doing to Uganda...

In reply to Discourse

Out, but this is a dangerous one to pull like that

9.2
Masaba to Pooran, out Caught&Bowled!! Big wicket! Scrambled seam, slightly short and Pooran shapes to pull it away off the back foot. Only manages to get a top-edge as it skids off the deck and the ball lobs up in the air. Masaba, the bowler, moves back, settles under it and catches it calmly. Punches the air in delight as he knows the value of this wicket.

West Indies have set up a nice, solid foundation and with the hitters to follow, they'd probably be looking at a score in excess of 170 (at least), unless the pitch slows down drastically. Nsubuga to continue

We are a mamby-pamby people! why aren't we playing our matches at a ground that is more suitable to WI strokeplay, faster bowlers and crowd support that is based on ticketing that is affordable. WI matches should've been in St. Lucia or Grenada. CWI has not any balls? pun intended.

Kyewuta to Rutherford, out Bowled!! Knocked over! The bowler is pumped and celebrates in the face of Rutherford, pumps his fists and gives him a mouthful. A superb response from Kyewuta, yorker at the stumps at good pace. Rutherford is late in jamming his bat down, ends up going through him and dislodging the off stump

Rutherford b Kyewuta 22(16) [4s-2 6s-1]

18 runs off the final over spoil what was a splendid death overs performance from Uganda.

....

10:06pm West Indies could not quite hit top gear with the bat, but Russell's cameo has ensured that they have more than 170 on the board. Prior to that, Pooran and Powell were enterprising for their cameos. Rutherford also made 22 off 16. Charles spent the longest amount of time at the crease but could not get going at all, scratching his way to 44 off 42. They will still be happy with this total, although they will feel they left a few runs out there.


A massive chunk of that was down to how well Uganda bowled in the back half. Their yorkers were largely on point

A massive chunk of that was down to how well Uganda bowled in the back half. Their yorkers were largely on point and it was only in the last over where the runs flowed. Masaba, before their death-bowling display, tied the West Indies down with his variations. Ramjani and Nakrani was also impressive, although it was surprising to see the pair not completing their respective quotas.


While there were promising bits through their bowling innings, there is no denying that Uganda have a steep chase in front of them. But if they are to get there, we will have seen one of the greatest upsets at the T20 World Cup. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Johnson Charles: It feels good (to score some runs). Guyana is always a tough pitch. I felt I really had to give something for the team. I think we have a decent total on the board. Once we nail our lengths, we have a decent chance. I wanted to make use of the first six (overs). I wanted to open up the off side but their pacers bowled well, sticking to their plans. The pitch did not really bounce. I think we have enough on the board, as long as we hit our lengths.

In reply to Discourse

Dis done

In reply to Brerzerk

I dont think Darren Sammy Stadiium is as slow as Providence though

10:15pm Right. We are back. Mukasa and Ssesazi will open the batting for Uganda. Mukasa, in particular, could do with a few runs, having registered two ducks in the tournament so far. Hosein will take the new ball for the West Indies. Around the wicket to Mukasa - here we go!

Hosein to Mukasa, OUT
Huge appeal, and Mukasa has three ducks in a row! He cannot buy a run at this T20 World Cup!

Huge appeal, and Mukasa has three ducks in a row! He cannot buy a run at this T20 World Cup! Arm-ball, slanting into middle and off. Mukasa, having seen the last ball turn, thinks he can reverse sweep this. Does not account for the ball swerving in and gets rapped right in front. The finger goes up, and Mukasa's horror T20 World Cup continues!

Excellent captaincy from Powell to give the final over to Akeal Hosein on the trot and he has delivered. 6th one down for Uganda. Fourth wicket for Hosein. Golden chance for him to add a fifer here. The bowler managed to traverse the gap as he prodded forward.

Here's Sampath with a couple of stats: Akeal Hosein is the first WI bowler to take a five-wicket haul at the men's T20 World Cup.
And he is also the first WI spinner to take a five-wicket haul in men's T20Is.

Alzarri Joseph to Masaba, OUT
Gloved through to Pooran! Another one bites the dust! Banged in short on middle and leg. Masaba wants to have a crack at this but he is awfully late on the stroke. The ball gets big on him too and he can only feather it through to the keeper. Joseph in on the wicket-taking act now!

Alzarri Joseph to Masaba, out Caught by Pooran!! Another one goes. Strangled down leg. Was a short ball, around the left shoulder. Masaba looke to pull and only managed to glove it down to the keeper. Pooran took it easily and made a polite appeal. The umpire raised his finger quickly.

Nearly! Tossed up on a length outside off. Miyagi reaches out for it and jabs it uppishly, just past the diving Powell at short extra cover

Motie to Kyewuta, OUT
Another big appeal, and another batter falls to the arm-ball!Another big appeal, and another batter falls to the arm-ball! This has been WI's biggest bowling weapon tonight. The ball starts just outside off before coming in with the angle. Kyewuta does not get a big enough stride and does not pick the variation either. Plays all over it and the ball clips the flap of the back leg right in front of middle stump. Kumar Dharmasena raises his finger, and Kyewuta does not bother with the review!

Angled in on a length on middle and leg. Miyagi pushes it past the bowler and is happy to run the single. Motie did hit the stumps from mid on but Miyagi had made his ground by then

For an experienced bowler, Alzharri bowls a lot of shite. Just aim for the stumps .

Alzarri Joseph to Nsubuga, OUT
There it is, a whopping 144-run victory for the West Indies!And this is also the joint-lowest team total in the men's T20 World Cup! Length ball in and around off stump. Nips back in a shade with the angle and beats Nsubuga for pace, who anyway had a half-hearted poke at it. Top of off stump is rattled, and that sums up with has been a terrific bowling performance!

11:10pm A proper hammering. That is what it was. At the half-way stage, it seemed that WI had enough but the way they bowled and how Uganda responded with the bat, just illustrated the gulf in quality and experience.Coming back to Uganda, their lack of pedigree was shown up. Mukasa was dismissed for another duck and that set the tone for what was to follow. Only Miyagi managed to get into double digits as they crumbled under the pressure the West Indies applied.

That said, Uganda will want to use this as a learning curve, rather than getting too bogged down by it. The West Indies are two-time champions for a reason and even though this was another tough initiation into the highest T20I tier, it will certainly help Uganda in the longer run.


Hosein was Uganda's tormentor and their batters just could not come to grips with his arm-ball throughout his four-over spell. Almost all of his wickets came off that particular delivery and that broke the back of the Ugandan innings. Joseph picked up two as well, with Motie, Russell and Shepherd also chipping in.

Beat the kiwis and we through to the next round.

So we NRR is 3.57
And AFzg is 5.22

I'll live with that still. We win one and improve we NRR two. Congrats team. Keep checking those boxes.

and thanks for the NNR -I give way to yall math wizzes

I think beating AFG in this early section would be a proper Morale Booster for us too...but yes...take out Netherlands first and dont underestimate a fella.

In reply to sgtdjones

Wrong Hettie was troubling Akeal about something. And Hetty did shake Sammy's Hand while he was still talking to Hosein

Akeal Hosein, Player of the Match:

I think I needed this. In the nets and in the previous series, I felt the ball was coming out good but I was just not getting the rewards. (On which one was his favourite wicket) I think the regular off-spinner (to dismiss Nakrani), that was my favourite. (On his approach) I think it is a lot of hard work. When you get success, guys are going to study you and have a plan. You always have to stay a step ahead. For me, it is just about trying to react to what the surface is doing and planning it out. Even if the ball is going both ways, you cannot do much if you don't plan. So, it is about planning the over well. I am happy to bowl wherever the team needs me.

In reply to positive


I just played it back...

I didn't see that...but we are allowed difference of opinion..

In reply to sgtdjones
Hey Bro why you all trying to plant seeds of disharmony? We don't need that! Whether or not he shook his hands why should that matter?


Be happy for the young man who came from humble backgrounds in East Laventille to register a 5fer in the World cup.

In reply to WIForever

Why don't you hush your skunk, always finding something to hate on this young man. 3 overs, 6 runs, 2 wicket. Haul yo mudda k$%T, we win.

In reply to voiceofreason

What disharmony ....I stated what I saw and reviewed...

Big win albeit vs our brothers from Uganda. West Indies vs New Zealand will be the big game. A win takes us to the super sixes.

Bro just leave it alone. Nothing to make of it just move on. We have bigger fish to fry.

West Indies always doing something to make man cross....

The Ugandan women were deprived the opportunity to celebrate , dance and support.

WI could have shown some compassion for the fans.....not sour the UG women like dat....

That's how you must treat a 2nd and third tier team. Good work WI.
Lest we forget or did not know, Uganda along with Kenya had fairly high standard
of cricket and competitiveness and were the two foremost countries that comprised
the East Africa team that competed in the First ODI WC back in 75.
The rivalry between those two countries had a long history.
But while Uganda regressed for a while( Idi Amin regime probably had something to do with this)
Kenya took their game to higher level and you know what happened in 1996.
Sadly things took a turn for the worse with them with internal problems and with lack of meaningful support from
the ICC they have fallen far.
Some of us thought that they would have been a Test playing country before Bangladesh as their
game had that trajectory.
The good thing is that the East Africa experiment fell away as it was being advanced much like
a West Indies model.
Considering the size of Kenya,and especially the wonderful cricket that was played in the second
City Mombasa back then,it is to be hoped that Kenya's cricket will return to the fore.
Uganda seems to be doing more and their future could also be bright, considering that they are in the WC and
Zimbabwe has fallen away too.
Hopefully with Olympics as another incentive, these African nations will improve as T20 cricket is the Future
and is already looking like it will take the game on a global scale much like football(soccer).
And that will be wonderful outcome.
The encouraging thing is that all these 2nd Tier countries are also involved with developing the women's game
at age group level.
There is a message in that for some people. A bay today, adult tomorrow.
