After suffering a defeat in the previous game against England, West Indies needed a significant win margin over the USA to keep their semi-final hopes alive.

On the other hand, the USA, despite putting up a good fight against India, faced a challenging situation against the West Indies.

The pitch at the Kensington Oval Stadium offered a balanced contest between bat and ball, giving an opportunity for both fast bowlers and spinners to make an impact.

The USA batted first and managed to score 128 runs for 10 wickets in 19.5 overs. The West Indies, in response, chased down the target of 129 runs in 10.5 overs with Shai Hope playing a stellar innings of 82 runs.

England slipped to the third position after a comprehensive defeat against South Africa, who now leads the group with four points and a superior net run rate.

Notable performances from Nicholas Pooran and Shai Hope steered West Indies to a comfortable win over the USA, setting the stage for an exciting clash with South Africa in their upcoming match.
