The West Indies defeated Scotland by 35 runs at Eden Gardens Stadium, with Romario Shepherd’s four wickets in five balls and Shimron Hetmyer’s blazing 64 runs innings helping them defend 182.

Scotland won the toss in the second ICC T20 World Cup match against the West Indies and opted to field first, as captain Richie Berrington felt that chasing would be easier on the surface.

West Indies openers Brandon King and Shai Hope provided a solid start, putting together a 54-run partnership for the first wicket. Scotland finally made the breakthrough on the second ball of the ninth over when Michael Leask dismissed Hope for 19 runs. Soon after, Brandon King was also sent back for 35 runs, giving Scotland a brief opening in the contest.

Shimron Hetmyer carried his previous great form, scoring 64 runs off just 36 balls. Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford gave him great support, and with the help of their contribution, the West Indies posted 182 total on the board.

While chasing 182 runs target, Scotland never looked in control. Captain Berrington’s 42 runs off 24 balls was the only impressive effort, as Romario Shepherd ripped through the batting with four wickets in the 17th over and ended with five in three overs, bowling Scotland out for 147 in 18.5 overs.
