T20 World Cup: West Indies thrash USA to boost semi-final chances

Shai Hope hit an unbeaten 82 as West Indies reignited their hopes of reaching the T20 World Cup semi finals with a nine-wicket thrashing of fellow co-hosts USA.

Defeat by England in their opening Super 8s game put the Windies under pressure but they responded with a dominant victory in Barbados.

After bowling the United States out for 128, Windies knocked off the runs in just 10.5 overs.

Hope hit eight sixes - including three in a row off Milind Kumar - in a fabulous 39-ball knock.

Roston Chase and Andre Russell had done the damage with the ball for the West Indies, taking three wickets apiece.

Looking at the group, Windies move ahead of England on net run-rate.

West Indies' net run-rate is also superior to Group 2 leaders South Africa, who they face on Monday at 12.30pm in the last round of Super 8s fixtures.

USA can still make the semi finals but would need a comprehensive win over England and for South Africa to beat West Indies.
