Little doubt that several hearts at Queens must have raced as fast as Zimbabwe's over-rate. At the end of it all, we have just the second tie of the year. There was a kind of symmetry to both innings. Like Zimbabwe, West Indies lost two early wickets. Both innings had a big third-wicket partnership, before a flurry of wickets pegged them back. In hindsight, that Carlos Brathwaite shot with three needed off five was probably the turning point. But one would assume that a big-hitter like him would back his strength. Unfortunately for West Indies, it didn't come off. Zimbabwe face Sri Lanka next and a win in that match will take them up to second. Hope to see you then. That's it from us on this thrilling Saturday evening. Cheers!
Tarun: "Do both teams get 2 points for this match ?" That's right.
Hope: The hundred does not mean much if you don't win. Credit must go to their bowlers. It was about winning the game, unfortunately, we could not do it.
Shai Hope is the Man of the Match for his century.
Jason Holder: Mixed emotions. We should have won the game, but that's cricket. It's important for the guys to learn from this game and make sure it does not happen in fututre. We had a few positives in the game. Shai batted outstandingly and the bowlers did a superb job.
Graeme Cremer: We made some mistakes in the second half, but the fight we showed there was incredible, full credit to the boys. We were a bit sloppy on the field, dropped a couple of catches, but hopefully, we can take the positives from this match into the next match. Craig and Raza batted superbly. We thought we fell 15-20 runs short, but credit to the boys for the fight they showed.
First up, umpire Russell Tiffin is being felicitated for his 150th ODI match. He is honoured by ZC.
What a heart-rattling match. We will have the presentations with you shortly.
Neel: "Do we have a super over now??" I'm afraid not.
Asjad: "Oh WestIndies Oh!!!"
Ahmad: "Donald trump and donald tiripano...what a month.."
Dan: "Woooooooww!!! What a match! Love it"
Ruchir: "Wow what a match this has been, people watching IndvEng and NZvPak, should follow this series as well"
