West Indies' victory over Scotland in the T20 World Cup was largely thanks to Shimron Hetmyer's blistering half-century and Romario Shepherd's impressive five-wicket haul, including a sensational hat-trick.
The West Indies were asked to bat first after being put into trouble by Scotland's captain Richie Berrington, who had been one of the standout performers for his team. However, they managed to post a total of 182-5 in their 20 overs, with Hetmyer top-scoring with 64 off just 36 balls.
Scotland then required a huge run chase to get back into the game but were unable to match the quality of the West Indies' batting lineup. The Scotland team was eventually bowled out for 147 in 18.5 overs, with Shepherd taking four wickets for no runs in his final over, which included a hat-trick.
Shepherd's performance earned him praise from commentators and fans alike, while Hetmyer's half-century showed the quality of batting that West Indies possess.

Can you believe Scotland got knocked out by the West Indies? I mean, those guys must've been sipping on some Scottish tea... it was "ooch aye" time for them! 
But seriously, Shimron Hetmyer's 64 off 36 balls is insane, like he just decided to put on a show and we were all there for it! 
Romario Shepherd's hat-trick though? That's some serious skills right there! I mean, who needs a fancy-schmancy cricket stadium when you've got a guy taking down opponents left and right like it's nobodies business? 
And can we talk about the Scotland captain for a sec? Richie Berrington, eh? Sounds like someone who's ready to take on the world... or at least the West Indies! 
Like, I remember watching the T20 World Cup back in 2016 and it was a real nail-biter. But this West Indies vs Scotland match? Unbelievable! Shimron Hetmyer's half-century was insane, and Romario Shepherd's five-wicket haul was like something out of a movie 
! I mean, four wickets for no runs in his final over? That's just crazy talk! 
The way Scotland got bowled out for 147 was just...wow. It was like they got smashed 
. They proved that they're a force to be reckoned with in this T20 World Cup! 
Scotland's loss was like a wake-up call for their team, they got outplayed by a team that has been struggling to find its footing in the T20 World Cup 
. The fact that Richie Berrington wasn't able to win the toss and bat first is a prime example of how unpredictable this tournament can be - sometimes being on the losing end doesn't mean you're any less of a contender 
.
. And Shimron Hetmyer's blistering half-century was exactly what they needed to get back on track in this tournament 
.
.
he's like a superhero for cricket 
and Romario Shepherd's hat-trick is literally the coolest thing i've seen all year 
. Scotland put up a good fight, but in the end, West Indies just had too much firepower 
!
. I mean, they were the ones putting the West Indies under pressure with Richie Berrington's impressive form. The fact that Scotland bowled them out for just 182 runs in 20 overs is actually pretty impressive if you ask me 
.
. I'd love to see some stats on Scotland's bowling performance and how that compares to other teams... sounds like a pretty one-sided game to me 
That's insane for a T20 match. And Romario Shepherd just completely dismantled Scotland's batsmen, especially with that hat-trick in the final over 
The camaraderie, the banter... it's all part of the fun!
! Shimron Hetmyer was unstoppable, 64 off just 36 balls? Mind-blowing 
. Like, Shimron Hetmyer's got skills for days, no doubt about it 
. I guess it's just another day in the world of international sports where sometimes you win and sometimes you lose 
. I'm loving Shepherd's performance tho, he's like a hero on the field 
! That Scotland team got absolutely smashed by the Windies! I mean, 147 runs in 18.5 overs? That's a decent total to chase, but they just couldn't keep up with Hetmyer's fireworks and Shepherd's ace bowling 
i'm just glad west indies won and Scotland didn't get too sad 
. And don't even get me started on Scotland's batting lineup... like a bunch of wimps compared to Hetmyer's fireworks! I mean, the guy smashed 64 off just 36 balls and that's no joke! Romario Shepherd was like a one-man show, taking out four guys for zero runs in his final over? That's what I call a hat-trick! 
i mean, 182-5 might not seem like a lot but Scotland just couldn't handle the pressure. they were so close to getting back into it but ultimately fell short 
anyway, i'm loving this underdog story from the West Indies and Shepherd's skills are insane!
