West Indies used to be a T20 giant and crowned the T20 World Cup champions in 2016, however, they failed to qualify for the Super 12 stage this year. They have to clash against other teams in the group matches to get their green card to Super 12. No teams are leaving any stones unturned in the T20 World Cup 2022.

Scotland put on a respectable 160/5 in their 20 overs against West Indies in the third Group match of ICC T20 World Cup. George Munsey starred with the bat with his unbeaten 66-run knock on Monday, October 17 at the Blundstone Arena, in Hobart.

West Indies captain Nicholas Pooran won the toss and opted to field first. Scotland got off to a flying start when with a 55-run partnership for the first wicket between Munsey and Michael Jones. Jones scored 20 runs off 17 balls before Jason Holder dismissed him in the seventh over.

Skipper Richie Berrington added 16 runs from 14 balls but Alzarri Joseph sent him with a short ball. Berringtom looked to pull but ended up giving an easy catch to Kyle Mayers. Calum MacLeod scored 23 runs off 14 balls with four boundaries. On the first ball of 16th over, Odean Smith’s short ball made Calum hammer it towards cover. Brandon King grabbed a sharp catch and dismissed MacLeod.
