West Indies annihilated USA in a battle between 2024 T20 World Cup co-hosts in the Group 2 Super Eight round of the tournament at the Kensington Oval.

Here’s the timeline of how WI vs USA panned out in Barbados:


WI vs USA Highlights: Gous, Nitish Kumar Shape A Fiery Start After Taylor’s Early Exit

Being put into bat first, USA lost firebrand opener Steven Taylor for just two runs in the second over to Andre Russell. Following Taylor’s early exit, Andries Gous and number three batter Nitish Kumar shared nearly 50 runs together for the second wicket to take USA to a fiery 48-1 by the end of the opening powerplay.


WI vs USA Highlights: Motie, Joseph Strike Back For West Indies

West Indies spinner Gudakesh Motie made instant impact with the ball by trapping Nitish Kumar plumb in front to curtail the cricketer’s threatening partnership with Andries Gous. The wicketkeeper-batter, who flogged 29 runs from just 16 balls, was himself held out by Shai Hope off Alzarri Joseph as USA slipped to 60-3 in eight overs.


WI vs USA Highlights: Russell, Chase Take Three Each To Restrict USA To 128

West Indies off-spinner Roston Chase piled on Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie’s early breakthroughs by cutting through USA’s middle-order in his four-over spell. The cricketer cleaned up dangerman Aaron Jones at 65-4, and got rid of Corey Anderson and Harmeet Singh in succession to finish with figures of 3-19 from four overs.

Andre Russell, who got the ball rolling in West Indies favour by dismissing opener Steven Taylor upfront, bagged the final two wickets on offer to finish with 3-31 to envelop USA’s entire innings at 128.


WI vs USA Highlights: Shai Hope, Johnson Charles Take 58 Off Powerplay

Chasing 129 for a win, West Indies openers Shai Hope and Johnson Charles put up an exhibition early, bashing USA bowlers for 58 runs in the first six overs of the innings.

Charles (15 off 14 balls) eventually became the first casualty of the run-chase after he was caught by Milind Kumar off Harmeet Singh at 67-1 in seven overs.

WI vs USA Highlights: Shai Hope Seals The Deal With 39-Ball 82*

Following the dismissal of Johnson Charles, unbeaten opener Shai Hope and wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran added 63 runs from just 23 deliveries for the second wicket to take West Indies past the finishing line.

While Hope bludgeoned 82* from 39 balls, Pooran whacked three sixes and a boundary to finish with 12-ball 27* as West Indies gunned down their 129-run target in just 10.5 overs.
