Half way through the match, it looked like West Indies had the game in their pocket.
Kyle Mayers and Evin Lewis started off well and stitched an opening partnership of 20 runs. Once they got dismissed, the middle order simply fell like a pack of cards. They were reduced to 79 for 8 in the 14th over. Jason Holder tried his best to revive the innings with his knock of 38 in 33 balls but he failed to take West Indies over the line as they were bowled out for 118 in the 19th over, losing the match by 42 runs.
