- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 knocks him over! Darted in on a length on middle and leg. King opts to stay back, possibly playing the trajectory rather than the length. The ball skids on with the arm and King is hurried into his stroke. The ball goes past the bat, kisses the pad and then disturbs the furniture. Big wicket for Uganda! 41/112.4 Charles' struggles come to an end! Sort of summed up by the fact that he has gotten out to a full toss. He could have hit it anywhere but he is almost taken by surprise. Gets it high on the bat and plonks it straight to long on. Intent was not an issue for Charles tonight, but execution was! 105/39.2 miscued, and Masaba strikes! Fired in on a back of a length on middle and leg. Pooran looks for the big heave over cow corner but the ball seems to skid on just a shade quicker than he expects. Cannot complete his swing and the ball skews up off the top edge. Masaba calls for it early and completes the catch. Massive moment in the game! 76/215.3 Masaba gets the WI captain! This is also shortish outside off and Powell looks to go up and over extra cover. Cannot quite get under it, though, and fails to get the elevation he desires. Obuya leaps up at extra cover and snaffles up a sharp chance above his head! 125/417.3 cleans him up with a cracker, and gives Rutherford a send-off too! Sizzling yorker on leg stump. Rutherford, it seems, is not expecting it and even if he was, that was just too good. Awfully late in getting his bat down and the ball thunders into leg stump. WI keep losing wickets! 140/5Extras14 (b 5, lb 1, nb 3, w 5)TOTAL173/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Brandon King, 4.3 ov), 2-76 (Nicholas Pooran, 9.2 ov), 3-105 (Johnson Charles, 12.4 ov), 4-125 (Rovman Powell, 15.3 ov), 5-140 (Sherfane Rutherford, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 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! 0/11.3 soft dismissal! Fullish just outside off and buoyed by the last ball, Ssesazi goes after this. Plants his front foot and swipes at it but the extra pace and bounce means he cloths it. Easy catch for Joseph at mid on, and Uganda are two down early! 8/23.1 oh my word, that is an absolute peach! Length ball that starts on off stump and seems destined to angle in. Until....it pitches and decks away a smidgen. That is enough to make Obuya play down the wrong line and he hears the death rattle soon after. Russell can do no wrong tonight! 15/42.6 that is adjacent! As plumb as it gets! Darted in on a length on middle and off. Ramjani gets down on one knee and hacks across the line. Swishes at fresh air and the ball pins him on the back leg, right in front of middle. That might have been missing leg stump and off stump....because that was crashing into middle! 15/36.5 five of the very best for Akeal Hosein! Another arm-ball that starts outside off and zings back into Waiswa. Like many before him, he has no idea about this. Plants his front foot and then plays outside the line. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and thumps him on the front pad. Kumar Dharmasena gives it out, and even though Waiswa has reviewed, this looked out. Clear gap between bat and ball. Ball Tracking coming up now and it returns with three reds, with the ball thudding into the inside of leg stump! 23/74.4 hot knife through butter! Another arm-ball and Riazat is the latest to fall to it. Does not pick it at all and tries to cut. Has no room whatsoever as it swerves in from outside off and the ball breezes past the bat before knocking back middle stump. Uganda in all sorts of trouble! 19/56.1 classic left-arm spinner's dismissal! Floated up on a length outside off. Plenty of revs on this and the ball drops very late on Nakrani. He stretches out, trying to smother it but is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. The ball grips in the surface too and bursts through the gap between bat and pad. Beautiful bowling! 22/67.4 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! 25/810.6 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! 34/911.6 there it is, a whopping 134-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 what has been a terrific bowling performance! 39/10Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL39 all out (12 Overs, RR: 3.25)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Roger Mukasa, 0.2 ov), 2-8 (Simon Ssesazi, 1.3 ov), 3-15 (Alpesh Ramjani, 2.6 ov), 4-15 (Robinson Obuya, 3.1 ov), 5-19 (Riazat Ali Shah, 4.4 ov), 6-22 (Dinesh Nakrani, 6.1 ov), 7-23 (Kenneth Waiswa, 6.5 ov), 8-25 (Brian Masaba, 7.4 ov), 9-34 (Cosmas Kyewuta, 10.6 ov), 10-39 (Frank Nsubuga, 11.6 ov)
