Richard Ngarava to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX, 131.7kph, wow! 131.7kph, full toss outside off and Rutherford manages to generate a lot of power as he biffs it over deep cover. The man in the deep jumps but the ball sails well over his head

Richard Ngarava to Romario Shepherd, out Caught by Ryan Burl!! Romario Shepherd wants to replicate the shot he played off the previous ball. It's a similar delivery and Shepherd backs himself to loft it downtown. The timing isn't spot-on on this occasion as the bat turns at the point of impact. Lot of height on it and Burl waits under the skier at long-off to take a safe catch. Romario Shepherd c Ryan Burl b Richard Ngarava 21(10) [6s-3]

Richard Ngarava to Romario Shepherd, SIX, back of a length outside off, Shepherd flashes his bat hard and the ball flies over short third man. Goes all the way over the boundary rope

Blessing Muzarabani to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR, too much width and Rutherford pounces. Quick hands from the left-hander to scythe it to the left of backward point. Bullets away to the fence. West Indies cross 200 with that boundary

Blessing Muzarabani to Rovman Powell, out Caught by Tashinga Musekiwa!! Muzarabani comes back and removes the half-centurion. 136kph, shortish ball, Powell swivels to pull and hits it straight down Musekiwa's throat at deep backward square leg.; Rovman Powell c Tashinga Musekiwa b Blessing Muzarabani 59(35) [4s-4 6s-4]

Graeme Cremer to Shimron Hetmyer, out Caught by Brian Bennett!! Gone! Something to cheer for Zimbabwe. Hetmyer shimmies down to slog this fullish ball over midwicket. The ball doesn't spin and Hetmyer miscues as it comes off the bottom part of the bat. Bennett runs across and slides to his left at deep midwicket to complete a fine catch. End of a fantastic knock from Hetmyer and he gets a hug from Powell as well. Shimron Hetmyer c Brian Bennett b Graeme Cremer 85(34) [4s-7 6s-7]

Graeme Cremer to Rovman Powell, 1 run, 81.5kph, spinning legbreak on a short of length, Powell rocks back to pull it to long-on. The single brings up Powell's fifty who raises his bat

Brad Evans to Rovman Powell, FOUR, it's raining boundaries! Banged in short by Evans, Powell pulls hard and the top-edge flies over short fine leg. One bounce and into the fence

Brad Evans to Rovman Powell, FOUR, streaky four! 129.8kph, fullish outside off, Powell shuffles and swings hard to try and hit it over long-on/cow corner. Gets a thick outside edge

Brad Evans to Rovman Powell, SIX, another powerful hit from Powell. Slow, full and in the slot, Powell spots it, bends his back leg to get under it and bludgeons it over long-off for an 88m six. Hundred partnership

Dion Myers to Rovman Powell, SIX, that's massive! There's a collective gasp from the crowd as they watch this take off from earth. Full outside off, in the slot and Powell launches it over long-off

Dion Myers to Rovman Powell, FOUR, short of length at the body, leg-cutter perhaps and Powell pulls it through the gap at square leg. Didn't time it very well but the placement was good enough

Dion Myers to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR, Raza turns to Myers and his first ball isn't very inspiring. Short and wide with third man in the ring, Hetmyer throws his bat at it and it flies off the edge over short third

Brad Evans to Rovman Powell, SIX, half-volley on the pads and it's whipped away into the crowd! Lovely work with the bottom hand to dispatch it over midwicket. Has been struggling to get going and this shot should help his confidence

Brad Evans to Shimron Hetmyer, 1 run, again Musekiwa drops Hetmyer! Dropped him early in his innings and now drops him again! Must be wishing for the ground to open up so he can hide. Oh you have to feel for him. Slower one, deceives him on the slog and he miscues it off the toe-end. Goes very high, Musekiwa settles under it at deep midwicket and shells it

Sikandar Raza to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR, short and wide outside off, too easy for Hetmyer as he leans back and cuts it through backward point

Sikandar Raza to Rovman Powell, no run, Zimbabwe review for LBW! There's an inside edge on it. UltraEdge confirms the scratch and will need to keep searching for the breakthrough. Carrom ball on middle, it's on a good length and Powell edges it into pad in defence

Sikandar Raza to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR, Raza is confused as he expected a fielder to be there. But he isn't. It's in the gap and Hetmyer picks up four more. Short and wide outside off, he waits on it and cuts it away through backward point

Sikandar Raza to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX, no stopping Hetmyer! Flat and short, slides on nicely to the bat and disappears over midwicket for a 108 meter six. Thunderous pull shot from the Guyanese!

Graeme Cremer to Rovman Powell, FOUR, slow and short, sits up for Powell who smashes the pull through midwicket. Can't afford to miss his length given that he's bowling in the early 80kph range

Sikandar Raza to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX, fastest fifty in T20 World Cups for West Indies! Hetmyer raises the bat and does the salute very animatedly. He's pumped. Fired in on middle and leg, going quicker and quicker is Raza, but he fails to rush Hetmyer who gets low and sweeps over square leg

Sikandar Raza to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX, the square boundaries at Wankhede are just not big enough. Not for Hetmyer. Raza was interested but then had to watch it sail over the fielder. Fired in at the stumps, he steps out, isn't to the pitch but still whips it away over square leg

Sikandar Raza to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX, rocks back and picks up his third six in a row! Pushed through flat at the stumps, back of a length, and Hetmyer pulls it belligerently over midwicket

Graeme Cremer to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX, not off the middle this time but it still travels the distance. Cremer bends over in despair. He deceived him with the googly, tossed it up a bit wide and it was close to the bottom of the bat. Just about gets it over long-on

Graeme Cremer to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX, into the top-tier! Sees the flight, puts on his dancing shoes and whacks it over midwicket. Got nicely to the pitch of it before unleashing

Brad Evans to Shai Hope, out Caught by Brian Bennett!! What a catch in the deep from Bennett. He had to cover a lot of ground to his left, then had to put in the dive and he manages to pull it off. Pace off from Evans, slower length ball, and Hope miscues it in the air while slogging across the line. It goes wide of deep midwicket where Bennett does so well. Shai Hope c Brian Bennett b Brad Evans 14(12) [4s-2]

Brad Evans to Shai Hope, FOUR, leaning back while slapping it over extra cover! Classic West Indian flourish! Hard length from Evans, a bit of room and Hope powers his hands through the ball

Richard Ngarava to Shai Hope, FOUR, delightful shot! Just holds his shape and punches it through the gap! Length ball angled in around off, Hope plays on the up, gets it off the middle and finds the gap through extra cover

Richard Ngarava to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR, belted away! Short of length around off, he pulls off the front foot and sends it racing to the midwicket boundary. A fielder has been sent out there now

Richard Ngarava to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR, one down leg and now this one way too wide outside off. Hetmyer reaches out for the cut, gets it on the toe-end and it runs away to the third man boundary. The fielder over there is very square

Richard Ngarava to Shimron Hetmyer, leg byes, FOUR, straying down leg, seen a few of these from Ngarava and it runs away fine off the thigh pad as Hetmyer misses the pull

Blessing Muzarabani to Shimron Hetmyer, 1 run, dropped! Musekiwa the man who took the catch in the previous over, and now he drops this one. Over the wicket, short of length into the body, Hetmyer hops across to pull but doesn't get much elevation. Hits it flat to deep backward square where Musekiwa slides to his left with both hands but it pops out. He's pointing at something, probably the lights

Blessing Muzarabani to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR, swivels across and pulls over short fine! Risky delivery with fine leg in the ring, it's a short ball above Hetmyer's right shoulder and he gets into position quickly to pounce

Richard Ngarava to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR, what a start, what confidence from Hetmyer! Speaks of the form he's in! Full on the pads, not a great delivery and Hetmyer picks it up effortlessly over midwicket with the flick shot

Richard Ngarava to Brandon King, out Caught by Tashinga Musekiwa!! King wears a forlorn look as he picks out the fielder to perfection. Again he backs away, and again Ngarava follows him with the slower ball. It's short of length into the body, he adjusts to pull, times it well but it goes flat and straight to deep backward square. King can't believe it. Brandon King c Tashinga Musekiwa b Richard Ngarava 9(12) [6s-1]

Richard Ngarava to Brandon King, SIX, smoked into the crowd! Opens the front hip nicely and nails the pull shot over midwicket. Was back of a length from Ngarava, not all that short but this is such a true pitch. King trusts the bounce and smashes it away

Richard Ngarava to Brandon King, leg byes, FOUR, Ngarava got away with a couple of these in his first over, but not this time. Hasn't found his line yet. Down the leg-side, inswinger and it runs away fine off the pad
