Last Wicket:

Over 20.0  

So West Indies defeat New Zealand through the Super Over. New Zealand are out of the competition. West Indies look good for the Semi Finals but if England defeat Sri Lanka, then two of the three teams - SL, Eng and WI will make it to the Semis, all depending on the Net Run Rate! 

Super Over

Ball 5 : Southee to Samuels, SIX! And West Indies win with Southee bowling a full toss and Samuels whacks it flat over deep mid wicket for a six!

Ball 4 : Southee to Gayle, 1 run, Drives the widish yorker to extra covers for one. 5 from 2 needed

Ball 4 : Southee to Gayle, 1 wide, Gayle does nothing but to leave a widish yorker outside off. 6 from 3 needed

Ball 3 : Southee to Samuels, 1 run, Drags the full ball off an inside edge to deep backward squareleg for one. 7 from 3 needed

Ball 2 : Southee to Samuels, 2 runs, flicks the near yorker to deep mid wicket for a couple. Almost an overthrow! 8 from 4 needed

Ball 1 : Southee to Gayle, 1 run, gets the widish yorker off the bottom towards square thirdman for one.

Ball 1 : Southee to Gayle, NB+6, that's match over! Pitched up outside off and its a noball and Gayle launches it all the way over long off for a six! 7 off a ball that is not counted!

Tim Southee to bowl the Super Over for the Kiwis. New Zealand will do a tit for tat by bringing in their substitute fielders. All the slow fielders to be replaced with the likes of Watling, Williamson etc!

Ball 6: Samuels to Taylor, 2 runs. Makes room and drills the quicker one to long on and steals a second run. New Zealand finish with 17 runs!

West Indies need 18 runs to win from 6 balls.

Ball 5: Samuels to Taylor, Six! Full toss from Marlon and Taylor clobbers it a mile over long on for a six!

Ball 4: Samuels to Taylor, Boundary! Plays a paddle sweep over short fine leg and beats the diving sub fielder Lendl Simmons for a four.

Ball 3: Samuels to McCullum, 1 run, comes down the track and drags the yorker to long on.

Ball 2: Samuels to Taylor, 1 lb, deflects the quicker one off the pad through squareleg for a leg bye.

Ball 1: Samuels to Taylor, 2 runs, sweeps the quicker one to square fine leg for a couple. Taylor is complaining to the Umpire asking why there are a couple of substitute fielders!

Ball 1: Samuels to Taylor, 1 wide, this is a quicker one at 122 kmph fired down the legside for a wide.

Samuels to bowl in the Super Over. Six more chucks? Taylor and Brendon McCullum to bat.

Over 19.6 MN Samuelsto DAJ Bracewell, 1 run + Bracwell RUN OUT!
Super Over folks! Brilliant direct throw from the fielder under pressure by Dwayne Smith (who is on for Rampaul)! It was a full toss and Bracewell flicked it through mid wicket and a desperate second run was attempted. Bracewell was struggling and even without a direct throw would have been run out!

So that match for now is a TIE but the winner will be decided through the Super Over.
Over 19.5 MN Samuelsto LRPL Taylor1 run
Inside edges the yorker onto the pad and can only get a single from short thirdman. 2 from 1. All set for a Super Over????

Over 19.4 MN Samuelsto LRPL TaylorSix!!
Shuffles across on a bent knee to take the yorker onto the full and paddle sweeps it over short fine leg and the ball sails all the way for a six! 3 from 2.

Lots of controversy about Samuels' action! He is 'chucking' his quicker ones at 126 kmph off a short run up!

DAJ Bracewell 0/0

Over 18.6 SP Narineto LRPL Taylor1 run
Goes back and nudges the carrom ball behind point for one. So New Zealand would need as many as 14 runs to win from the final over. What a fabulous over from Sunil Narine! If England goes on to lose to Sri Lanka, then West Indies will be in Semis if they can win the match from here.

Huge discussion about who has to bowl the final over. Initially Andre Russell was to bowl but Sammy ends with Samuels, who will fire those quick yorkers!
