He showed his aggressive intent from the start, hit Kagiso Rabada for the upper limit of the backward point and then the Loft Bowler straight on the next ball.
Furthermore, it was Aiden Markram’s turn to face Wrath Lewis when the mixture attacked two six and four consecutive balls to collect 18 to run fifth.
Lewis then destroyed Anrich Nortje over mid-off but the ball later Bowler induced the thin edge of Simmons who failed to be held by the goalkeeper.
Lewis was in an unpleasant form because he did not set aside a South African bowler.
He brought fifty in style, Slog swept Tabraiz Shamsi on a deep square foot to reach landmarks in just 32 balls.
Lewis continued in the same vein after fifty and clobbered Keshav Maharaj for six but finally killed the ball later to look for too much, hiding to Rabada in the deep Midwicket.
He hit three four and six six for 35-ball.
Two faster net, rather, put the brakes on the allegations of West Indies after the brilliant start by Lewis.
But Simmons staying was a struggle when the 35-ball round was the longest connection in terms of limit balls in the Men’s T20 World Cup.
Living Nicholas Moran (12 off 7) was eliminated when he was the second victim of Maharaj, was arrested by David Miller and then Simmons was kidved by Rabada on the top.
Shamsi was taken to assignments by West Indies captain Kieron Pollard and Chris Gayle, hitting the left arm spinner for each six on 16.
Knock Run-a-Ball Gayle was cut short by Dwaine Pretorius before Andre Russell was cleaned by Nortje on the top.
Shimron Hetmyer runs out of balls later to add to the problem of West Indies.
Pollard produced 26 of 20 balls but failed to push the score towards the end.
