4:06 PM IST Joshua Dorne, the captain of West Indies Under-19, says that it is a good win for them. Adds that there are still a few areas to work on. They were excellent with the ball but the batters need to rectify their errors as he thinks the top order players gave their wickets away after getting to starts. Mentions that Micah McKenzie was superb and he saw it coming. Tells that he started the World Cup bowling really well when the pitch had a bit of moisture, but he came in and hit the strap from early on in this game. Ends by saying that to challenge Australia in the next match, they have to be more focused and need to be switched on when on the field.

4:05 PM IST The captain of Ireland Under-19, OLLY RILEY, is up for a chat now. Riley's assessment - Riley feels that overall, his side did pretty well. Explains that it was a decent wicket and the bowlers held their lines and lengths nicely. However, he adds that he is quite disappointd with the result. Explains that given the way his side bowled and started with the bat, they let this one slip away. Batting assessment - Olly puts it down to inexperience. Admits that his batters could not play the spinners. Adds that the batters need to know that they have got a bit more time than they actually feel they do and need to try to take it deeper. Rues the fact that they could not get enough partnerships after the first 10 overs to put pressure on West Indies. Pitch comparison - Riley does feel that there was too much difference between the pitch Ireland played previously on and this one. Explains that overall, the ball does a bit early on and then the pitches get better as the game goes deep. The Afghan challenge - Riley wants his batters to take a little bit more responsibility. Adds that the bowling needs to be consistent for as long as possible. Ends by saying that the batters need to try and string partnerships for a bit longer.

3:56 PM IST Look down, not up - There was rain forecast for this clash but West Indies' skipper Joshua Dorne, was not too keen on looking at the heavens. He looked at the surface, got the knowledge that it was a used one and decided to bat. His batters struggled throughout, except for Jewel Andrew, who used his international experience to hold one end. His gritty 66 ensured that the Windies did not collapse, although they did, after he got dismissed. They somehow managed to scrape through to 226, getting bowled out for the third successive time in this tournament.

3:56 PM IST West Indies Under-19's MICAH MCKENZIE Micah McKenzie has been adjudged the PLAYER OF THE MATCH, for his wonderful bowling display of 10-0-36-4. How is he feeling? Mckenzie says that he is feeling pretty excited as it is not everyday that you get figures like these. Explains that sometimes you bowl better but do not get results, while it might not be your day and you might get wickets. How did he plan for this match? Micah says that he messaged who he regards as one of the best spinners in the world - TABRAIZ SHAMSI - and says that Shamsi gave him vital advice before the start of the tournament which he cheekily adds that he forgot, but is happy that he managed to implement one of them in this match. Explains that this is what cricket is all about. Details that everyday won't be a day where you will take wickets but there will be days where you will not take wickets at all. Ends by saying that he just took advice from the coach and executed his skills.
