13.1
2
Odean Smith to Rishabh Pant
Shorter in length, a bit slower and angled at the body. Pant with a short-arm jab towards square leg. The fielder over there does well to get low to his right and make a half stop. The batters get a couple.

Odean Smith to Rishabh Pant
Two more! On the body, Pant just dabs it down towards the vacant mid-wicket region and races back for the second.

Odean Smith to Suryakumar Yadav
FOUR! Suryakumar Yadav is a master of that shot. Slower one, banged in around off. SKY makes just a bit of room and waits for it patiently. He then just ramps it over the keeper's head for a boundary.

Sheldon Cottrell to Rishabh Pant
Right back at the bowler! Fullish delivery, on middle. Rishabh Pant skips down the track and hammers it right back at the bowler. Sheldon Cottrell cannot get his body out of the way and makes a good stop at the expense of getting a body blow though.
14.2

Sheldon Cottrell to Rishabh Pant
Back of a length, slower and around off. Pant uses his wrists to pull it finer. He doesn't get it fine enough and it will just be a couple.

Sheldon Cottrell to Rishabh Pant
OUT! CAUGHT! Rishabh Pant is livid with himself and he should be! Banged into the deck, slower and on the body. Pant swivels back and looks to lift it over short fine leg but there's no pace on the ball to work with. Pant ends up getting it off the top edge and the ball loops up towards short fine leg. Odean Smith takes a dolly and out comes the 'salute send-off' from Sheldon Cottrell. 44 required off 33 balls. Can the Windies pull off the unthinkable?
