Chase thinks he has caught it. West Indies are celebrating. It will go upstairs. Looks a clean catch. Let's see.

Shamar Joseph to Adil Rashid, out Caught by Roston Chase!! It's a clean catch and West Indies have won. It's a low full-toss on middle and leg, Adil Rashid whips that aerially, Chase at deep backward square-leg dives forward and has the fingers under the ball. No part of the ball has touched the grass. Chase tumbles and gets up to celebrate. It's sent upstairs and the third ump makes the call. West Indies win by 30 runs

"Deserved winners, West Indies" is the comment from Nasser Hussain on air. He is spot-on. The fielding and bowling from West Indies was top-notch today. Especially their spinners who were key in them winning this game. Motie, Hosein and Chase bowled beautifully and used the slight grip on offer to take 6 wickets among themselves. Earlier Salt began so well with a 24-run second over but Shepherd came on in the powerplay and got him. Another failure for Banton at 4 and West Indies kept chipping away. Sam Curran was the last hope for England but no-one gave him company as West Indies also nailed the yorkers with Shamar and Holder outstanding. The catching from West Indies was so good as was their ground fielding. It's never easy to defend scores at the Wankhede in a night game with dew coming on to aid the batters. So this makes West Indies' win all the more special. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff...
Well spoken....... by POTM Rutherford...... post match......!!!!
My fellow Enmore man.... big up yuhself.
Sherfane Rutherford | Player of the Match:
First of all, I want to thank God for this opportunity, you know, playing in the biggest stage. My finger is good, and hopefully I’ll be fit for the next game.
(on the challenges England posed with the ball) I think one of the biggest challenges was Adil Rashid. In our meetings, we knew he was going to be the toughest bowler for us. So for me, it was important to try and keep him out of the game, keep rotating the strike, build a partnership, and back ourselves to make up for it at the end. (on the surface)
Yeah, definitely. I’ve been putting in a lot of work coming into the World Cup. For me, once I trust my process and read the situation, I know that once I’m in, I can always score at the end. So it was important to have a clear mind and play more in time.
(confident with the score?) I think we were probably about 10 runs short. With England batting, we know how powerful they are. But I think the guys really stood up tonight and bowled well, so credit to them. This result means a lot for us.
(Guyanese helping win games) Yeah, it’s good for our country. We’ve been coming into the spotlight, but cricket is a team sport. Moving forward, hopefully other guys can put their hands up and, as a collective unit, we can continue to get better. (
two from two, a lot of confidence in the team) Yeah, definitely. On this big stage, momentum is very important. We want to keep building on it, add 10 percent to our game each time, and hopefully keep getting better.
