- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Appeal for caught behind. Not given. Italy discuss... and take the review. Sharp inswing and then seam in on the fuller side of length. King stuck on middle and leg, gap between bat and pad as he looked to drive through cover. There is a spike with ball next to the inside edge, King shakes his head as the replay is on but has to walk back 5/115.1 Hope is hurried out and Kalugamage does his trademark celebration. Slides a full ball in fast and full, Hope gets on one knee and looks to sweep it hard. Misses and his stumps are in a mess. Major wobble for WI with the key batter now gone 115/54.1 Taken at short third and Draca's off on a run! Wobble seam, fuller side of length, lands around off and seams away a touch. Hetmyer tries to drive on the up through mid-off, doesn't check his shot and gets a thick outside edge. The ball carries to Smuts. Around knee-height, to his right, good catch 31/212.3 Chase has a hack across and holes out to deep forward square. Not the best innings, but he tried a few shots and got out looking to go big. Made room to the length ball swung with a closed bat face and got it a little too high 95/314.4 This one's higher... and is taken by Kalugamage behind square in the deep. Powell staying in the crease and waiting for Manenti to fire it in, which he does on a length, bat toe finishes pointing to the sky. Kalugamage ran to the right from deep-backward square, fell back and rolled close to the boundary. Might have hurt his finger along the way 113/417.4 Boundaries coming but wickets tumbling as well. Holder falls looking to go wide of or clear long-on. Gets it too flat and H Manenti takes a catch to the right. Shortish ball, Holder pulled it off the bottom of the bat. Another bull celebration from Kalugamage 137/6Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL165/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Brandon King, 1.1 ov), 2-31 (Shimron Hetmyer, 4.1 ov), 3-95 (Roston Chase, 12.3 ov), 4-113 (Rovman Powell, 14.4 ov), 5-115 (Shai Hope, 15.1 ov), 6-137 (Jason Holder, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 Nip-backer clips off bail. J Mosca waited before deciding on the shot, shaped for a cover drive and then tried to work it leg side but the late adjustment couldn't save him. 122ks length ball landed around fifth stump and skidded in to hit the stump and go to Holder at slip 12/12.6 Taken at short fine leg! This should have been another boundary. The 89ks ball was on leg stump and A Mosca was inside the line after moving to the right. Looked to launch a fine sweep but couldn't elevate it. He smacks his bat before walking back 26/25.5 High... and taken at mid-off! Shamar walks back from mid-off and takes it above head. Forde twirls his finger over his palm to noodle a celebration. Was a fullish ball outside off, swinging away, that Naqvi tried to smash with a slight crouch and a flat bat. Got it off the upper-half of the bat 37/311.6 Smuts sweeps straight to deep-backward square. Shakes his head as he walks back. Full and on leg, Smuts can't get underneath enough and hits it flat to Shamar. Replay shows that went off the bottom of the bat 78/58.5 Thick edged cut goes to the keeper. Shamar hits back of length, straightens off the seam a touch and gets extra bounce. Manenti looks to cut it square and hands Hope a regulation catch 57/415.6 Bottom edge onto the stumps. Short again and Manenti looks for another pulled six. This one's too quick for him and knocks middle stump. Manenti yells in disgust before leaving 115/714.5 Long-off in play... taken! Holder has a bread-basket catch. Shamar missed the yorker, overpitched it at 144.8ks. Stewart made some room but enough to drive through with extended arms. Ended up chipping it 103/616.4 Wide and full, slapped straight to cover point. After going across, Meade stays still and can't access the wide line despite lunging fully 115/817.4 Highish full toss has been carved straight to backward point. Draca made room and got followed, had some room just couldn't place it. Umpires belatedly checking the height of the ball. Draca runs back from the edge to realise that the call wasn't for him. Replays taking a while. Ball is 10cm under waist height, fair ball 123/917.6 Edged, taken, and that's the end of Italy's campaign. Shamar finishes with four wickets and four catches, first ever T20I player to do so. Roars in delight. Was a length ball just outside off that Hasan tried to swing across the line, feathers to the keeper 123/10Extras15 (lb 6, w 9)TOTAL123 all out (18 Overs, RR: 6.83)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Justin Mosca, 1.5 ov), 2-26 (Anthony Mosca, 2.6 ov), 3-37 (Syed Naqvi, 5.5 ov), 4-57 (Harry Manenti, 8.5 ov), 5-78 (JJ Smuts, 11.6 ov), 6-103 (Grant Stewart, 14.5 ov), 7-115 (Ben Manenti, 15.6 ov), 8-115 (Gian-Piero Meade, 16.4 ov), 9-123 (Thomas Draca, 17.4 ov), 10-123 (Ali Hasan, 17.6 ov)
