Chahar comes back into the attack. Two singles from the first two balls before Hope can't find the gap in the covers.
Hope then lofts a full delivery from Chahar back over his head for a six to inch closer to his century.
He brings up his century in grand style, pulling a short ball through midwicket for a four.
Hope brings up his century from 149 balls, having played second fiddle to Hetmyer for most part of his innings.
Importantly, he didn't throw away the start or get frustrated when the runs were not coming so freely and was rewarded with a century.
West Indies need 11 runs from three overs for victory.
Dube continues and he starts with a short ball which Pooran pulls through midwicket for a four and slaps the next to sweeper cover for one.
Hope clips the third ball to deep square for a single before Pooran smashes the medium pacer over mid-off for a four to level scores.
The left-hander pulls the next ball for a boundary through midwicket as West Indies romp to an emphatic eight-wicket victory with 13 balls to spare.
Hope finished unbeaten on 102 from 151 balls, while Pooran stroked a quickfire 29 from 23 balls in an unbroken stand of 62 from 55 balls to carry the visitors to victory.
