Series: ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Venue: Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester Date & Time: Jun 27, 10:30 AM LOCAL
Virat Kohli 72(82)
38.2
Holder to Kohli, out Caught by (sub)Darren Bravo!! Kohli is in disbelief! Fourth successive fifty that he hasn't been able to convert into a big score. More than getting out, it's the manner of dismissal that must be frustrating for him. Was a short of a length ball which stuck onto the pitch as Kohli went for the swivel-pull. Not in control of it and ends up spooning a dolly to mid-wicket. The West Indies cannot believe their luck at all, this is such a bonus breakthrough with Kohli having looked so assured at the crease. West Indies tightening the screws. Kohli c (sub)Darren Bravo b Holder 72(82) [4s-8]

33.1
Fabian Allen to Dhoni, byes, 1 run, what on earth was this?? Stumping missed and how!! Shai Hope had two cracks at this with Dhoni way, way down the pitch and the latter had given up totally. The chance still goes down and the batsmen get a bye eventually. The LED stumps had lightened up but that had nothing to do with a stumping attempt. Totally bizarre! Dhoni gave the charge early, like in the previous game, and missed it totally as this whizzed past the outside edge. Should have been a regulation stumping but it wasn't to be
