In the early part of the match, Vinay Kumar and Shahbaz Nadeem displayed their bowling skills, taking a combined total of five wickets and restricting the WI Masters to a score of 148 for 7 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. 

Even though Lendl Simmons (57 off 41) and Dwayne Smith (45 off 35) put up a fight, Kumar’s remarkable figures of 3 for 26 and Nadeem’s 2 for 12 were crucial in keeping the Windies batting lineup under the 150-run threshold.
