Commentary
USA will be pleased with how they bowled, especially the likes of Saurabh Netravalkar and Kyle Phillip! The two were excellent. However, USA will be very disappointed with their fielding. They dropped catches at crucial times and that could well cost them. They though will be happy they ended well. Now onto their batting which will fancy their chances on a wicket which is good for batting. Windies on the other hand, will back themselves to restrict this. Join us for the chase in a bit.
Windies have done really, really well to get to where they have after the start they were off too.They lost two for not a lot, Johnson Charles and Shai Hope then counter-attacked. The two took the attack to the bowlers and took their side to safer shores. Both scored half tons but both fell in quick succession. Chase then continued the good work. He had two good stands, one with Pooran and the other with Holder who also scored a half ton. However, the problem with Windies was no batter went onto make it big and hence, they fell short of the 300-run mark.
OUT! TAKEN! Windies have been bowled out for under 300! This is fuller and outside off, this is slammed hard but straight to Steven Taylor at covers. WINDIES HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 297!

Commentary
That is it from this game then! The Windies, as expected have come out on top! Cricketing action continues on Monday as there are two more games coming your way. Ireland will be taking on Oman and Sri Lanka will be in action against UAE. The action for both the games begins at 1230 IST (0700 GMT). The build-up though begins earlier. Do join us. Until next time, goodbye and take care!
Jason Holder HAS BEEN AWARDED THE PLAYER OF THE GAME AWARD!
For USA, it was all about Gajanand Singh! He was the star and fought a long battle. The rest just were not upto the mark. They lost wickets when they needed partnerships and in the end they fell short. Maybe, if Gajanand Singh had gotten support the story could have well been different.
A good win for the Windies! Their bowlers really stepped up to the ocasion! Yes, they had quite a lot of runs to defend but the wicket was quite flat and they can be very pleased with how they have performed. All their bowlers did a decen job. A few picked up wickets whereas the rest were economical. A good how from West Indies. First to recover from 2 down for not a lot and then to bowl they way they did.

Commentary
USA will be pleased with how they bowled, especially the likes of Saurabh Netravalkar and Kyle Phillip! The two were excellent. However, USA will be very disappointed with their fielding. They dropped catches at crucial times and that could well cost them. They though will be happy they ended well. Now onto their batting which will fancy their chances on a wicket which is good for batting. Windies on the other hand, will back themselves to restrict this. Join us for the chase in a bit.
Windies have done really, really well to get to where they have after the start they were off too.They lost two for not a lot, Johnson Charles and Shai Hope then counter-attacked. The two took the attack to the bowlers and took their side to safer shores. Both scored half tons but both fell in quick succession. Chase then continued the good work. He had two good stands, one with Pooran and the other with Holder who also scored a half ton. However, the problem with Windies was no batter went onto make it big and hence, they fell short of the 300-run mark.
OUT! TAKEN! Windies have been bowled out for under 300! This is fuller and outside off, this is slammed hard but straight to Steven Taylor at covers. WINDIES HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 297!
WIDE! Down the leg side. Wided.

Commentary
That is it from this game then! The Windies, as expected have come out on top! Cricketing action continues on Monday as there are two more games coming your way. Ireland will be taking on Oman and Sri Lanka will be in action against UAE. The action for both the games begins at 1230 IST (0700 GMT). The build-up though begins earlier. Do join us. Until next time, goodbye and take care!
Jason Holder HAS BEEN AWARDED THE PLAYER OF THE GAME AWARD!
For USA, it was all about Gajanand Singh! He was the star and fought a long battle. The rest just were not upto the mark. They lost wickets when they needed partnerships and in the end they fell short. Maybe, if Gajanand Singh had gotten support the story could have well been different.
A good win for the Windies! Their bowlers really stepped up to the ocasion! Yes, they had quite a lot of runs to defend but the wicket was quite flat and they can be very pleased with how they have performed. All their bowlers did a decen job. A few picked up wickets whereas the rest were economical. A good how from West Indies. First to recover from 2 down for not a lot and then to bowl they way they did.
