OUT! LBW! Tom Bruce has been trapped plumb in front of the stumps and he will have to walk back now. Fired around off, Tom Bruce goes down on a knee and looks to play the slog sweep but misses. Gets rapped on the back foot and just a gentle appeal is what was needed from the Windies outfit for the umpire to raise his finger. Tom Bruce sends this upstairs by using the DRS. Nothing on the UltraEdge as the ball passes the bat. Three reds on the Ball Tracking with the ball going on to smash the off-pole. Scotland lose a review along with Tom Bruce. 61 needed off 33.

OUT! TAKEN! A timely breakthrough for West Indies, and Jason Holder gets his 100th T20I wicket, first Windies bowler to reach that milestone. He bangs this short and outside off, rolls his fingers to take pace off. Richie Berrington backs away and cuts it but fails to get the elevation on this one. It flies straight to deep point, where Shamar Joseph makes no mistake. Berringtone departs for a fine 42 off 24, and the quick-fire 78-run stand has been broken now.

Oh...what happened there? Short of a length and around off, Matthew Cross uses his feet and punches it through cover-point and turns around for the second run.

FOUR! Gets off the mark in style! Touch fuller and on middle and leg. Brandon McMullen comes down the track but stays leg side of the ball. He presents the full face of the bat and belts it to the left of mid off for a boundary.

A splendid take from Shimron Hetmyer in the deep, and every Windies player goes up to celebrate with him. It is also time for Drinks now. Scotland are in early trouble, losing 3 wickets inside the Powerplay, and not a lot on the board. Windies also got to a similar start, but they did not lose any wickets in the first six overs. The Scottish need a rebuild, but they also cannot take too much time, as the asking rate will only go up. West Indies do not need to do anything different, they just need to continue as this and opportunities will arrive for them as the pressure is on the batters. Also, Tom Bruce is the next man in.

Interestingly, we have not seen Akeal Hosein yet. He generally bowls in the Powerplay, but Shai Hope is thinking differently here.

Time for some spin now as Gudakesh Motie comes into the attack.
0
Spin from both ends? Yes, Akeal Hosein has been introduced into the attack now.
0
Has that carried? Gudakesh Motie is not sure, and the umpires have sent it upstairs. The replay shows that the ball has clearly bounced before going into the hands of the bowler.

Change of bat for Richie Berrington.

Tom Bruce has been dropped for the second time. At first, it was Jason Holder and now it's Matthew Forde.

Time for the final Drinks break of the contest. The game was going away from the Windies side but a timely dismissal of Richie Berrington has given them the upper edge once again in this tight contest. Matthew Cross replaces Richie Berrington in the middle and he will have to play the perfect anchor to Tom Bruce, who has found his footing in this innings. 68 more needed off the last 40 balls.

Mark Watt replaces Tom Bruce out in the middle.

Absolute scenes in the City of Joy, Kolkata. Romario Shepherd has taken a T20 World Cup hat-trick, and no one seems to catch him as he is running off in celebration. The crowd loves it as well. Also, Safyaan Sharif comes out to the middle now.

Brad Currie is the last man in.

The Stage Is Set for the Next Showdown - That wraps up this Group C fixture, where West Indies collect the two points, while late entrants Scotland will have to wait a little longer for their first win of the tournament. Two matches are now done, but one big showdown is still to come, with co-hosts India beginning their World Cup campaign against USA at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. That one gets underway very soon, so switch tabs and stay with us for all the coverage from what promises to be a cracking contest. Cheers!
