Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\nAfter Japan elected to field, their new-ball bowlers made early inroads as Kai Wall struck in consecutive overs to remove Zachary Carter (15) and Kunal Tilokani (0), reducing West Indies to 42\/2 inside nine overs.<\/p>\n
What followed was a brutal counter-attack from the Windies. Tanez Francis played the anchor to perfection with a superb unbeaten 122 from 148 balls, while Shamar Apple provided the firepower, blasting a 124 off just 65 balls lower down the batting order. The pair piled on the runs to take West Indies to a commanding total of 346.<\/p>\n
Japan never found momentum in their chase. The Windies bowlers struck at regular intervals, and R\u2019Jai Gittens ripped through the top order with four wickets, leaving Japan reeling at 54\/7.<\/p>\n
A brief stand between Sekine and Waugh added 39, the highest partnership of the innings, but it was only a short delay. Once Sekine was bowled by Lawes and Waugh fell to McKenzie after a fighting 100-ball stay, the rest followed quickly.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the West Indies sealed a thumping 229-run victory, finishing their warm-ups in emphatic fashion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Indies v Japan, United Cricket Club Ground, Windhoek Scorecard After Japan elected to field, their new-ball bowlers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":410600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,95830,95836,214643,95841,214639,95853,95852,7301,214640,95851,214637,214647,95834,161130,90626,85,103412,214636,214642,214644,214646,214641,214645,214635,214638],"class_list":["post-410599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-cricket-headlines-today","tag-cricket-live-score","tag-cricket-match-live-score","tag-cricket-scorecard-live","tag-cricket-world-cup-2026","tag-cricket-world-cup-live-score","tag-cricket-world-cup-news","tag-icc","tag-icc-cricket-news","tag-icc-cricket-updates","tag-icc-under-19-world-cup","tag-icc-youth-tournaments","tag-international-cricket-news","tag-junior-cricket","tag-latest-cricket-news","tag-sports","tag-today-cricket-match-score","tag-u19-cricket-world-cup-2026","tag-u19-live-score-today","tag-under-19-cricket-fixtures","tag-under-19-cricket-highlights","tag-under-19-cricket-live-score","tag-under-19-cricket-results","tag-under-19-cricket-world-cup","tag-youth-cricket"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
