Kemar Roach stuck Netherlands outfit as he had become sixth bowler to claim a World Cup hat-trick as West Indies cruised a 215-runs victory in Delhi. Netherlands who were in the race of chasing 331 for victory, but West Indies pace bowler Roach finished the game in style as claimed hat-trick in the last over of the Netherlands innings.

This was a vital match for West Indies who, coming into it, looked in danger of being drawn into a qualification combat in Group B. If they are to beat Bangladesh to the quarters they need their big guns to fire and they would have been relieved that Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard found their outlines before Roach's heroics.
