In the process, West Indies guaranteed that, if there was a winner in the last match between Ireland (IRE) and Pakistan (PAK), they move ahead of the losing team.

    The West Indies made it to the quarter finals, spoke big and confident before the match but went down by 143 runs to a better New Zealand team. Mr @csharpe, would you agree that they were beaten by one man who scored 237 not out in the 393 New Zealand inning?
