7.50pm Keemo Paul showed why he was named West Indies' T20 player of the year, slamming 38 off 22 balls after Guyana had suffered a middle-order slump. Chris Green also landed some mighty blows at the death, helping the hosts take 66 from the last five overs. Can the Zouks chase down 156? Find out with Peter Della Penna after the break. Cheers

Obed McCoy: I enjoyed myself, coming back from injury. I wanted to give them a challenge, and I did. I just want to take it easy. I am sure we have the power to chase this

McCoy to Green, 1 run, OUT, banged in short at the body, flapped away behind square. Green chances a second, but is caught short. He has done the damage, though

McCoy to Shadab Khan, OUT, Holes out to long-off. On a length and angling away outside off, Shadab clears his front leg and mis-hits it to Thisara. Shadab falls for a duck, but he might have a bigger role to play with the ball on this sluggish surface

Shadab Khan c Perera b McCoy 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

vishalsingh456@: "Great to see Paul doing it with the bat as well, felt like he was becoming more of a bowler of recent "

McCoy to Paul, OUT, very full and very wide outside off, back-of-the-hand variation, Paul reaches out for the ball and carves it in the air to short third man. Fawad nearly parries the ball over his head; he somehow hangs onto the ball after juggling it

KMA Paul c Fawad Ahmed b McCoy 38 (22b 3x4 3x6) SR: 172.72

Prasu: "K.Paul such a valuable asset for WI, bats well, can bowl at death"

Williams to Green, 1 run, short on off, pulled to deep square off the back foot

Abhijato: "Earlier, the catchphrase was 'catches win you matches' which headlined a fielding revolution in the sport ... Now the catchphrase should be 'spinners make you winners', because a wristie revolution is being witnessed as we speak!"

S. Halder: "Fawad Ahmed has done more than enough to receive a call-up for the Australian national side. The addition of Fawad might be the X-factor they need to do well at their own home in WC 2020. Familiar streets, familiar veterans - need of the hour!"
