That's it from this game and another double-header of the T20 World Cup 2022. The final round of fixtures will be played in the upcoming two days as the first round of games reaches its epic conclusion. Do join us tomorrow for more fixtures from the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. For now, this is me Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my esteemed co-commentator Ninaad Dixit and scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Until next time, goodbye and CHEERS!
Nicholas Pooran (West Indies Captain): "First of all thanks to Jesus for the game. How to explain this game? We spoke yesterday as to how to go about the game and go about with the bat. The team learns how to go about it. The partnerships are important and we lacked a bit today. Akeal and Rovman with that partnership took us to a good total. After the start with the ball, credit to the guys to show character to come back.
Yes, Mayers swings the ball and that's why we start with him. It has not come off and we will keep supporting him going forward. We need to develop areas in improving those areas. Jason was special as he is the most experienced bowler in the Caribbean. So, he showed his class.
Joseph has been amazing for us this year. Bowling at 140 km/hr, and helping us all the way in getting the right results. Jason, Alzarri, Akeal, and Odean Smith all are doing well. Yes, loads of work to do and I am working hard, but a lot of hard work to do for me going forward. We look forward to the game on Friday and hope I can find form."

Regis Chakabva (Zimbabwe Captain): "I though that the bowlers stuck to their plans to hit their areas especially the spinners. Their batters did well for sometime in the middle but our bowlers did well to come back from their. We were happy to restrict them to 150 and were confident that we will get there. But we lost a couple of wickets more in the first 10 overs and kudos to Alzarri Joseph as he opened the game for them bowling really well.
I think the boys are still pretty confident. They'll be disappointed how we finished tonight after a good start but we look to bounce back on Friday."

Alzarri Joseph: "It's very encouraging but we have one more game and we need to win that. I want to try get an early wicket for the team. It took a bit of work but it depends on the batter as well. The conditions were pretty good. I am quite happy with my performances as it helped the team's cause."
Alzarri Joseph is the player of the match!

18.2 J Holder to T Chatara
W Yorker to finish things off! Jason Holder you beauty!! Gets this right in the block hole! West Indies get their first points on the table! Yorker angled in on the stumps. Chatara stays leg side of the ball, backing away. The ball dips in and goes past his bat as he looks to swing down the ground to hit the leg stump! Holder and Pooran are pumped up!! Important victory for the West Indies!
18.1 J Holder to T Chatara
0 Over the wicket. Slower delivery outside the off stump. Chatara swings a bit early and misses. Pooran collects the ball on couple of bounces.
What a spell from Alzarri Joseph. 4/16 in 4 overs as he has single-handedly kept West Indies in this tournament. 32 runs are needed off 12 balls here with just a wicket in hand.
