Unlike Sri Lanka, West Indies struggled to find that steady partnership. Both the openers departed by the eighth over, and by the 16th, the hosts were reduced to 55 for 4. Glasgow joined Taylor in the middle in the 23rd over, with half of the West Indian batters back in the dugout and only 80 on the board. The duo revived the innings with a cautious approach, stroking their respective half-centuries en route an 89-run stand for the sixth wicket which kept West Indies in the chase.
