That's it from our coverage of match 18 in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentators AkshayaKrishna Polya, Deepak Prakash and scorer Bishal Mandal. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world. Some big clashes coming your way.
BIGGEST VICTORY MARGIN IN T20 WORLD CUPS:

172 Runs - Sri Lanka v Kenya at Johannesburg, 2007

134 Runs - West Indies v Uganda at Providence, TONIGHT*

130 Runs - Afghanistan v Scotland at Sharjah, 2021

130 Runs - South Africa v Scotland at The Oval, 2009

125 Runs - Afghanistan v Uganda at Providence, 2024
Rovman Powell (West Indies Captain): "Yeah, definitely. We talked about improving and improving 10-15% every game. We wanted to improve as a team.

When you play at home, the pressure might get you down. We were playing our first game for a while. We were a bit flat in the last game. We started as a 60% and were quite rusty to begin with. We are now moved to 70-80%. From here on, it gets tougher.

That is why Akeal Hosein is the world's number three-ranked bowler. He has done it against full member nations, and we expect him to do well against these newly rising teams. He bowled wicket to wicket and did his job.

We need to play good cricket and continue playing good cricket. Cricket isn't easy in the Caribbean. We have played good cricket for the last 12 months or so. As I said earlier, it gets tougher from here on. 

The Guyanese crowd have been superb. They have been backing us for a while. Happy with their involvement. The support has been fantastic."
Brian Masaba (Uganda Captain): "Tough day for us. It shows the difference in the class. We were outplayed in both departments. We must take the lessons from it. In particular as a batting unit, what we can do better.

Just managing to keep them under 200 stood out for me. Death bowling was very impressive. They never got to execute their skills at the death.

Its a huge challenge but we are enjoying. We are tend to get better if we play like quality oppositions.

The fans love this team. We love having them around. They are very passionate bunch. We are very proud of them and enjoy having them aruond."

Akeal Hosein (POTM): "I think I needed this. The ball was coming out of the hand in the nets really well. Even in the series before this tournament, I was bowling well but didn't get the rewards. Trained really hard. I knew my time would come. Just waited for the opportunity. 

I think I'll go with the regular finger spinner one, that was my favourite.

When you get success, guys are going to study you and have a plan. You always have to stay a step ahead.

You need to be ready to put in a lot of hard work. For me, it was all about reacting to what the surface offered, just getting those lines and lengths right and planning it out. Even if the ball is going both ways, you cannot do much if you don't plan. So, it is about planning the over well.

I am ready to bowl anywhere the captain wants. When you are in that good form, you just continue and bowl out four overs."

11.6 A Joseph to F Nsubuga
W WICKETTTT!!! Joseph hits the final nail in the Ugandan coffin! Good length on the off-stump. Frank Nsubuga is nowhere close to the line of the ball. He is staying leg side of the ball. Tries to block without any footwork and plays inside its line. Beaten for pace. The ball hits the off-stump! Uganda are all-out for just 39 in 12 overs! Joint-lowest team total in the T20 WCs! West Indies win by 134 runs and win 6 T20Is at a stretch! 
11.5 A Joseph to J Miyaji
1 Full on the leg stump. 140.5 kmph. Miyaji closes the bat face early and gets a leading edge to deep point for a run.
11.4 A Joseph to J Miyaji
2 Short on the off-stump. 139.8 kmph. Miyaji stands tall and opens the bat face, dabbing it to deep point for 2 runs.
11.3 A Joseph to F Nsubuga
1lb Back of a length, 139.6 kmph, angled back into the batter backing away. Frank Nsubuga is beaten for pace. The ball beats the inside edge and hits the pads, deflecting in the off-side for a leg bye. 
11.2 A Joseph to F Nsubuga
0 Short of a length outside off. 139.8 kmph. Frank Nsubuga drops his wrists and leaves it alone.
