Pitch Report

It is the same surface as yesterday. Square boundaries are slightly skewed. It's 70m to one side and 77m to the other. Rahmanullah Gurbaz described it as very difficult because of the variable bounce which I think is a cause of concern. I expect it to play similarly. Keeping wickets secure for the backend could be key.

Commentary

Powell was brave to admit that the pressure of being the hosts affected his team against PNG. They have been lucky in the sense that their first two matches have been against the two weakest teams in the group. The big challenge lies ahead with Afghanistan and New Zealand to come. For Uganda, it's all about putting a much better batting performance in their last league game and enjoying themselves. Right, that brings us to the end of our coverage, folks! It's the pair of Rudransh and Arya signing off for Sportskeeda, wishing you a good rest of your day. See ya!

Rovman Powell: Definitely, you talk about improving 10-15%, we were pretty flat the last time. Pressure of playing at home can tell on you. That's what happened plus a little bit of rust. Now we are at our 80-90%. (On Hoesin) That's why he is the third-ranked bowler in the world. He has done it against the full nations, we expect him to do it against the new teams. It's just about playing good cricket. We know the conditions. The Guyana support has been fantastic.

Brian Masaba: Tough day for us out there. We were outplayed in both departments. We need to take lessons, especially as a batting group on what we can do better. There were some positives in our bowling. Keeping them under 200 stood out for me, as well how the two young men bowled at the death. It's a huge challenge but we are enjoying. We know we need to play with such oppositions so over time we can narrow the gap. The traveling fans love this team, they stick with us through thick and thin. We love them having with us.

Stick around for the presentation ceremony where we hear from the two captains...

Akeal Hosein is the Player of the Match, here is what he had to say: I think I needed this. In the nets and the previous series I felt the ball was coming out nicely but I wasn't getting the rewards. I think I will go with the regular finger spinner one, that was my favourite. I think it's a lot of hard work especially when you get success and the game is moving. You have to stay one step ahead of the oppositions. For me, it is about trying to reach to what the surface is doing and plan out the over. For me it's about good lengths and plan the over well. I don't mind, I am happy to bowl wherever the team needs me.

West Indies take the win by 134 runs!

Johnson Charles 40 (42) | Akeal Hosein (5/11)
Juma Miyagi 13 (20) | Brian Masaba (2/31)

A comanding win for the co-hosts, just what you expected of them. Uganda put up a good fight with the ball, with their variety and all-roundedness keeping West Indies to just over the par score. With the bat though, they just coudln't click, with as many as 10 batters recording single-digit scores.

It was the early movement with the new ball under the lights that undid their chance. Hosein found swing, rhythm and turn and took out five of the first seven batters to record his best-ever figures in T20s. Shepherd and Russell picked up a wicket each in their first overs to support him.

Juma Miyagi put up a hint of a fight by crossing the 10-run mark at the end but it didn't mean much in the grand context of the game. Uganda would know they have a lot to learn but this is the only way -- the hard way -- to do it. West Indies would take this momentum forward happily.

Alzarri Joseph

2 /6

11.6 Alzarri Joseph to Frank Nsubuga, WICKET! Uganda has been humbled here. What a massive win this has been for West Indies. They win by 134 runs. That was a quick good-length delivery and just too good for the No 11 Nsubuga, he was very late into the attempted defence, breaches his defence and rattles the off-stump. Uganda have also recorded the lowest total in the history of Men's T20 World Cups.

11.5 Alzarri Joseph to Juma Miyagi, squirts away the full-length delivery around middle and leg, off the leading edge past the cover point fielder and a single taken.

11.4 Alzarri Joseph to Juma Miyagi, back of a length delivery around the off-stump, eased away defensively past the backward point fielder and scampers back for a brace.

11.3 Alzarri Joseph to Frank Nsubuga, Nsubuga was beaten by the pace there, makes some room and the ball thuds onto his thigh pads, trickles away towards the off side and a single taken.

11.2 Alzarri Joseph to Frank Nsubuga, back of a length delivery a shade outside off, Nsubuga lets it go through to the keeper.

11.1 Alzarri Joseph to Juma Miyagi, a defensive push to a fuller one around middle, to the right of the bowler and takes a quick single or is Miyagi short of his crease there? The bat has been grounded when the ball hit the stumps at the non striker's end.

Just one wicket to go now. There were two noises on that one and the umpire belatedly raised his finger. Just one wicket separates WI and the win.

10.6 Gudakesh Motie to Cosmas Kyewuta, WICKET! This time the arm ball from Gudakesh Motie does the trick from Kyewuta, angling in from a fullish-length and strikes him on the flap of the pads, the umpire waited for a bit before raising his finger. It has been a very tough night for Uganda.

10.5 Gudakesh Motie to Juma Miyagi, tossed-up delivery around off, pushed away to the left of Rovman Powell for a single.

10.4 Gudakesh Motie to Juma Miyagi, full-length delivery on the pads which has been flicked away straight to the midwicket fielder.

10.3 Gudakesh Motie to Juma Miyagi, Miyagi tries to swing it off his feet and ends up getting an inside edge onto his pads.

10.2 Gudakesh Motie to Juma Miyagi, pushes this good-length delivery around middle back to the bowler.
