Well, that's all from us for this game. Do jump in for the Zimbabwe-Ireland match, where Matt Roller has kicked us off. Till the next time, on behalf of Venkat, Thilak, Sreshth and myself, Sudarshanan, take care, ciao!

Mustafa Moudi: "2 former Champions losing to associate teams aby huge margins within 24 hours is the a great way to begin the T20 World Cup. This edition is going to have lot of surprises!!"

Mohan : "Unpopular opinion but I am going to support one of associate nations to win this WC T20 cup."

JOYDEEPSINGHGIL: "West Indies lost to Afghanistan in 2016 T20I wc after that won that tournament"

7:25pm Let's hear from the captains now.

West Indies captain, Nicholas Pooran: "Tough loss for us, obviously disappointed. We have to work hard and win two games. We have to take accountability and responsibility. [On batting against spin] That's disappointing on our part. In saying that, we have to put this loss behind us and pick ourselves up. Sometimes, when you lose games and perform bad as players, you want the next game to come as fast as possible. From a team point of view, we spoke about hitting Scotland hard - no matter who we play - and in the powerplay [with the ball] we took time to assess conditions."

Scotland captain, Richard Berrington: "Obviously it is a special win for us. Took a lot of work and has given us belief. We haven't had as many T20 cricket as we would have liked but have played a lot of 50-overs cricket. It was about transferring those skills to the short form. I thought we got off to a flying start, especially Munsey getting off quickly. West Indies then came back well but our bowlers bowled well. [On the spinners] They have done it for us in key moments. Watt started off well and always picks up the key wickets. Leask bowled his fours over well on the trot, too."

7:22pm Superb all-round display from Scotland that. First, Munsey and Jones got them off to a flier after they had lost the toss. And then, despite rain applying the brakes, they found some regular blows from the other end - thanks to MacLeod, Berrington and Greaves - even as Munsey struggled for timing and yet kept his end held up. Eventually, his presence in the middle did help Scotland a great deal at the end, especially as he managed three fours off the last over of the innings, that went for 15.

Scotland then used that- batting knowledge to have West Indies hit to the bigger section of the ground and deny then the short length to get under and target the short, square boundaries. Superb tactics and it meant that second time in three games, the team batting first managed to come up triumphs.

7:16pm Another day, another upset in this T20 World Cup. Namibia showed the way yesterday, Scotland delivered today. Clinical is an understatement. Berrington and his men used the advantage of batting first to bowl according to the dimensions and deny West Indies. Mayers got off to a flier but once he fell, it was almost a process, until Holder showed his wares with some smart batting towards the end. It was however a tall mountain to climb and West Indies - like in the last T20 World Cup - start their campaign with a big loss.

George Munsey is the player of the match: "[Injury] It's okay and not great, we'll see later tonight. I am always looking to improve but the guys are always looking to improve. Watt was outstanding with his bowling. The guys did well in the middle from ball one and took pressure off me, especially after the rain delay. I enjoyed the start and then we went off due to rain and then found it trickier - don't know if it was the conditions or just their bowling. I thought we were below par [with the total on the board] but knew we had enough to defend and went about it."

Sharif to Holder, OUT

Another West Indies batter falls while aiming for the long boundary. Full ball outside off, Holder looks to go over wide long-off. Greaves makes good ground to his left and takes it with a dive. Scotland beat West Indies in their first T20I meeting.

Sharif to McCoy, 1 run

Length ball angling away, it was the offcutter. McCoy looks to heave it over the on side but gets it off the leading edge towards deep third.

18.1

Sharif to Holder, 1 run

Around middle and leg, wrists it through square leg. But the shorter dimension there means he gets just one.

Sharif for the penultimate over.

45 off 12 is a bridge too far for Holder, too, you'd imagine...

Adnan: "I don't know why they are not going for? The match can be won in 10 balls and they still have 15. Go Holder."

Davey to Holder, FOUR runs

Low full toss outside off, Holder manages to open the face and beat the diving backward point. The fielder got a bad bounce as well.

Davey to Holder, FOUR runs

This is why Holder wants to have much of the strike. Gets a low full toss on middle and leg, he clears the front leg and wallops it to beat long-on to his right.

Watt to Smith, OUT

Smith perishes! Tossed up but lands it on a length around off, Smith looks to charge down and go big. Once again, like Powell, chooses one of the bigger parts of the ground at long-on, where Greaves takes a well-judged catch running backwards.

Short delivery around middle and leg, he backs away but then sways away.

Wheal to Holder, SIX runs

Tonked with disdain. Just a free flow of the blade from Holder and it has travelled over square leg. It was a length ball that was angling in to him.
