WI vs PNG LIVE Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: West Indies win by five wickets
Over Summary: 2 1 4 4 1 1; WI 137-5 after 19 overs
Andre Russell (15), Roston Chase (42); Kabua Morea 3-0-30-0
As they say, formalities remain now and Morea comes into the attack. Two runs off the first ball. Single off the next one. Chase doesn't seem interested in taking it to the last over and therefore hits a four yet again.
Sxi needed to win and Chase drove the low full toss for a four. Just two needed off 8 balls and Chase takes a cheeky single. Russell is on strike and the Windies need just one more to win the match.
And they won the match by five wickets with six balls, to spare, These seemed to be some issues in the end, but Russell and Chase were thoroughly professional to end this well. First points on the board for the hosts.

Four off the first ball and three off the next two. Make it four off the next three. Well, Chase says, worry not till I am here as he hits one down the ground and clears the boundary in style to bring the target down to 17 needed off 13 balls.
Four!! He goes down the ground again and it is back to run-a-ball almost.

WI vs PNG LIVE Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Rutherford gone
What am I seeing here? Rutherford, trying to pull the ball, gets a thick edge and Doriga somehow manages to keep the ball in his groin area and Rutherford is gone. Wow. Juts three from the over and the wicket.

Wait a minute, after hitting eight off the first four balls of the over, Powell plays a dot ball, gets under pressure and then tries to slog the last ball. He gets a thick edge which is held brilliantly by Doriga behind the stumps. Powell also lost a review trying to keep himself not-out.
