So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj and my co-commentators, Ninaad Dixit and Manan Mehta as we wrap up the coverage of this fixture. A note of thanks to our scorer, Danish Elahi.

There is a lot more cricketing action on the cards with India and West Indies facing off in the deciding 5th T20I while Bangladesh will take on Zimbabwe in the ODI Tri-Series which is happening in the UAE. Don't miss out on following all that action with us.

What a day of Semi-Final action we had in the World Championship of Legends with England Champions and the West Indies Champions getting past their South African and Australian counterparts to advance to the summit clash. Do stay tuned and join us for that game on Sunday.

Dwayne Bravo (West Indies Champions Captain): "[On the win] It was getting closer and closer. Just had to stay with the rate, we are obviously a side which hits boundaries. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, the legend showed his class and Chadwick Walton continued brilliantly like he has been through the tournament.

[On Chanderpaul's knock] At the half-way stage, I said Shiv at No.4 and it was good to see his name. We have been struggling with injuries, Chris (Gayle) wasn't available. I am happy that the guys are determined and we won the game.

[On Sheldon Cottrell's opening spell] We didn't have Fidel Edwards and Rayad as well who have been bowling well, I was also not able to bowl. Always say that the first over sets the tone, Soldier (Cottrell) did that, they had a good partnership in the middle but that's T20 cricket.

[You can't drop Shivnarine Chanderpaul for the final right?] Gayle is coming back, he said get to the Final and I will play."

David Warner (Australia Champions Captain): "[On being ahead in that chase for most of it] Look, credit goes to Chadwick and Joe for getting both teams into the game. Obviously, we had a scratchy start. They bowled well. Then the way he played there and Shiv's knock as well. Not bad for a youngster. Look, they had a good partnership. We probably, missed it a little in the middle period. Needed a few boundaries, a couple in each over. It was our first night game. It was quite wet and the boys were not used to that. They played well. Chadwick played well. Wish them all the best.

[Thoughts at the halfway mark] Previous game I thought that was a par score. We don't really know about the dew factor as well. So, that can add an extra couple of runs as well. To get back in the game and put that score in the board, I thought we were in for it.

[On his experience at the WCL] I absolutely loved it. I said it at the start. It is great to get all the guys back. Against guys that you have played with. I saw that the English team is stacking their side for the finals. I think it would have been great to have the Ashes again for the finals. Obviously, not to be. It is a fantastic tournament. Looking forward to it next year. I will be here."

Chadwick Walton (Player of the Match): [on the chase] "When I saw Shiv batting, he was striking it very well. I was like surprised. He felt like 30. I expected him to score runs. When he started hitting those sixes, I had the best seat in the house.

[on playing with him before] I played against him, but I never liked him whenever that happened. It's good to be on his team. It's always an honor.

[on him being in the race for most runs in the tournament] Let's hope I can get it.

[on the final] We are fancying our chances in the finals. England is a very good team. They have some replacements which have boosted their team. Let's see in the finals."
