2.20pm: Thanks for your eyeballs for game two of this

T20 World Cup. Good fun, wasn't it? That's all from us
here. Join us in a few hours for Namibia vs Oman in
Bridgetown!

2.15pm: A word from both captains, starting with West

Indies' Rovman Powell: " Credit has to be given to PNG. I
think there plans were simple and they played good
cricket. I think (PNG's score of 136 for 8) it's a little, 10 or
15, too much. And as a bowling group that's something
we need to work on. They played smartly.

On Roston Chase' performance: "That was very good.

Started from a bowling effort, I think he bowled pretty
well. And coming at the end, when we were under
pressure coming there with composure, and to come out
with a winning innings was great for us. I think we can be
better in all three departments."

PNG's Assad Vala is proud of his team's efforts but has a

few regrets: "It was a competitive score but we believe we
missed a trick towards the end. Another 10 to 15 runs
would have been nice. We're really happy with the way we
fought. We got wickets in key moments, but we couldn't
nail it at the end. I'm really pleased with the effort from
the boys

"It's an opporunity and a challenge we look forward to.

We try and play our best cricket against the best players.
It was an opportunity to go out there and play the way we
wanted to play."

2.08pm: Roston Chase is player of the match for his

unbeaten 42 from 27 deliveries: "I'm very pleased. To
start the tournament with a win is always good. I had to
take it home for the team, and I did it.

"I knew from our first innings bowling, it was always hard
for batsmen coming in to start. I gave myself time,
backed myself. I've been putting in a lot of hard work so I
just backed my preparation."

On Papua New Guinea's efforts: "They're not an A-List

team but we don't want to take any team lightly in the
World Cup. We came out with the mentality that we were
playing Australia or India. We started slowly but we had a
chat at the halway stage and the guys just wanted to rally
and put the best foot forward. "

1:59pm: dave davud: "Despite the win, West Indies

should be embarrassed by that performance. It shocks
me that the game was even a contest"

ShahSafeer: "First big team has survived a big

heartbreak. This should just be the beginning of that, this
format allows smaller team to topple big boys. That's
exactly why we needed more teams for the T20I WC!"

Vettelfan17: "If is a big old word but if PNG had ran as well
as they did in the last 5 overs throughout the innings,
there were 10-15 runs out there. What could have been"

18.6 Morea to Russell, 1 run

1 That's all she wrote! Russell takes West Indies
over the line as he digs out a yorker towards long
on. West Indies start their 2024 T20 World Cup
campaign with victory by five wickets! But my
days did they have to work for it! Outstanding
fight from PNG, who, truth be told, were ahead of
the game on a couple of occasions during this
chase but just couldn't stay the course. Plenty of
"if only" moments but they've shown the rest of
Group C that they're not just here for the ride...

18.5 Morea to Chase, 1 run

1 Wide yorker, ramped out to third to tie the
scores...

18.4 Morea to Chase, FOUR runs

4 One bouncer four over cover! Start the car.
Morea serves up a full toss outside off stump and
Chase gets it out of the middle with a lovely lofted
cover drive

18.3 Morea to Chase, FOUR runs

4 Flicked over the shoulder for four! Chase steps
across and intercepts a full ball on the sweep,
lapping it fine on the leg side

18.2 Morea to Russell, 1 run

1 Russell steps across to expose his stumps, Morea
goes for the toes - on about off stump - and is
picked away for a single through midwicket

18.1 Morea to Russell, 2 runs

2 Wide yorker, dug out with a horizontal bat down
to third. No real pace on the delivery allows deep
cover to run around to third and field

Left-arm seamer Morea returns

END OF OVER 18 WI: 124/5

17.6 Vala to Chase, FOUR runs

4 Flatter, back of a length - powered down the
ground for another boundary! The 18th over
goes for 18, as Chase stands tall into that lofted
drive. Quality

17.5 Vala to Chase, SIX runs

6 Bang! The ideal release shot for Chase, who
presses forward and drives gloriously up and over
long off, from low to high

17.4 Vala to Russell, 1 run

1 Driven out to that deep fielder on the off side

17.3 Vala to Russell, 2 runs

2 Length played off the back foot, punched into
deep cover. Great running from Russell puts
pressure on the fielder who throws down the
middle of the pitch

17.2 Vala to Chase, 1 run

1 Worked out to deep midwicket

17.1 Vala to Chase, FOUR runs

4 Back to back boundaries! And how necessary
they were... Vala drags another down but doesn't
get away with it as Chase flicks it around the
corner. In fact, Vala should have got away with it,
because the fielder running around from
backward square leg got to the ball but didn't get
low enough to gather and ends up getting
nutmegged

END OF OVER 17 WI: 106/5

9 runs CRR: 6.23 • RRR: 10.33

16.6 Kariko to Russell, SIX runs

6 That's one of them! Enough sighters for Russell -
winds up and hooooons a full delivery on the
strikes high and handsome over square leg

16.5 Kariko to Russell, 2 runs

2 Driven on the up to midwicket, two made with
ease as Siaka has to run about 30 yards to his
right from long on to gather

16.4 Kariko to Russell, no run

• Fired into leg stump, Russell gets in a tangle as he
tries to sweep around his front pad but can't
reach

16.3 Kariko to Russell, no run

• Darted outside off, Russell defends with an open
face into backward point

16.2 Kariko to Chase, 1 run

1 Shorter, this time Chase waits a little and
punches beyond that cover fielder

16.1 Kariko to Chase, no run

• Darted in, just off a length, well-timed drive but
straight to cover

Aladdin Saine: "oooh - the pigeons have a cat now..."

Dre Russ, your time is now...

15.6 Vala to Rutherford, OUT

W GOT HIM! The good news for Rutherford is this
time he doesn't cut into the ground. The bad news
is he's cut straight into right thigh of the keeper
Doriga, who ends up keeping the ball in the air
and completing the catch. PNG - are you really
about to do this?!

15.5 Vala to Rutherford, no run

• Darted into a length, Rutherford duffs a cut into
the ground once more
