Scotland were going along quite nicely against the West Indies and were in with a chance of victory. Four wickets in five balls from Romario Shepherd completely changed the course of the match and in the end it was a comfortable win for the West Indies. An enjoyable watch for the neutral though.

Good bowling or bad batting?
Have to admit I don’t like this sort of slog cricket.

I’m sure the ICC will immediately change the rules to help them

Appalling captaincy from Brook. Bethell took 4 for 11 in his last match and hasn't been bowled this innings

Far to close for comfort.

Nepal will give other teams problems though.

I thought England coming into this tournament has as much chance of winning as anyone besides India.

Not if they bowl like that.

India won't be allowed not to win it.

Great final over from Sam Curran.

It was a terrific over. Also nice to see a really close game.
