But then, Yarric Cariah and Alzarri Joseph had some other idea. The former was being cautious, but kept the score card ticking. Joseph, on the other hand, was swinging his bat to a good effect.

The two increased the hopes of the Caribbean nation with a 85-runs stand. The dismissal of Joseph for 31-ball 49 made matters difficult and Cariah (52) also lost his wicket in the 36^th over to end up on the losing side.

It also meant that West Indies off spinner Kevin Sinclair’s maiden four-wicket haul went in vain. The finger spinner was quite impressive, playing in just his second ODI to end the night with figures of 8.2-0-41-4.
