The indications were there from many years. Something ailed West Indies cricket and it was visible in their performances. The once formidable forces of world cricket were for long losing out to the bigger teams. However, thee emergence of the T20 format gave them hope as it won the title twice in 2012 and 2016. However, since then it has been a story of a downhill journey.

It was an impressive show by the Scots, especially by all-rouder Brandon McMullen, who first took three wickets, and then scored a patient 69 off 106 balls to steer his side to a famous victory.
