Full commentary

4.45pm WI beat Bangladesh to enter the U-19 World Cup finals. They will face India in the showpiece game. Great chase that in tough conditions against a quality line-up. It was all started by Pope who showed really positive intent from the start. After they lost a few wickets, it was Hetmyer and Springer who compiled lovely fifties under pressure. Bangladesh never went away, and fought and fought and fought. But eventually, they just did not have enough runs on the board. Great game of cricket for everyone involved

Shamar Springer is the Man of the Match: "A lot of pressure but I overcame it today. I listen to a motivational speech before each game and tell myself I am a champion. I'm quite adaptable. I call my dance the chestroll."

Saifuddin to Springer, FOUR runs

there is the game. Springer does a jig after sealing the win for WI. Overly full outside off, creamed through the covers to take WI into the finals. Bangladesh are dejected. Great game though.

Scores are levelled

Saifuddin to Springer, FOUR runs

smashed through cover. That could be it. Full and wide, crashed past cover. Springer does it for WI, fist-pumps the air.

Here is the match right here. John on strike. Just 6 runs needed.

yorker outside off, guided down to third man

7 off 12. Saifuddin has the ball. Can he get through Springer?

Roshan: "I remember Ind vs Zim in 1999. Olonga took 3 in second last over to finish the game. That was shock of life as a young Indian cricket fan."

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to John, no run

Bangladesh need to pile on the pressure here. Now or never

yorker outside off, stabbed out to point. For one

DWolfman: "Here's that additional twist you feel was bound to happen. I'm not sure that the Windies have enough to push over, but it is still their match to lose."

low full toss on leg, clipped to square leg

Shakeena Samadh: "Who can do a Malinga ? Remember that match against SA which he took 4 ?"

46.4
Saifuddin to John, no run

wonderful yorker on middle. Jammed out just in time

46.3
Saifuddin to John, no run

full on middle and leg, massive appeal. Not given out though. Too much doubt, I reckon. The batsman comes down for a run but is sent back. Would have been out if the keeper had hit

This game is not over yet.

46.2
Saifuddin to John, no run

full toss outside off, John can't get a bat on it.

Out comes Ryan John

46.1
W
Saifuddin to Frew, OUT

what has happened there? Full delivery outside off, off the outside edge to the keeper. That looked out. The umpire goes up for the third umpire referral. Very full yorker outside off, the batsman gets bat down on it just in time. Frew goes.
