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"

Tiripano to Holder, OUT, unbelievable scenes at Queens. What a match! Zimbabwe are leaping in joy an why wouldn't they! This has been a remarkable fightback. But let's not forget to give credit to the bowler. What a superb delivery under pressure. Fires it very full and outside off, just around the line forcing the batsman to reach out. Holder can't make contact but Carter sets off for the run from the non-striker's end. The wicketkeeper has a shy at the stumps and Carter is caught short. An inch outside and it could have been a wide. A perfect last delivery and full marks to Tiripano
JL Carter run out 1 (4m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100

Tiripano to Carter, 1 run, chance at deep square leg, did it carry to Chibhabha? It was a legcutter on a short of good length and Carter pulls it. It seems like it carried to the fielder who makes a brilliant effort s he dives forward. Unfortunately for Zimbabwe, he does not manage to grab it. But a superb effort as he did not allow the ball to go to the boundary. Those catches are always tricky and it is easy to miss the catch and let the ball escape from in between. Scores level now.
Two off two. Zimbabwe's players get together for a chat.

Tiripano to Holder, OUT, oh, what terrible luck. Run out at the non-striker's end. It was a fuller ball and Holder makes good connection on the forward push and the ball goes on the bounce towards the bowler who tries to stop it with outstretched hands. But it goes off the finger and crashes into the stumps with Nurse out of the crease as he was backing away. What drama!

Ashley Nurse is the new man in, but Holder on strike as the batsmen had crossed over.

Tiripano to CR Brathwaite, OUT, kind of a needless shot with three needed off five. It was a slower ball from Tiripano. Legcutter on a length and Brathwaite tries to swat it with a flat bat. It was a low percentage shot and he skews it to long-on, much to the delight of a large section of the crowd

Arvind : "Two specialist t20 player on crease..difficult for Zimbabwe "

Tiripano to Holder, 1 run, fuller ball outside off, drills it to sweeper cover. Singles will do it for West Indies
Donald Tiripano will bowl the last over. He hasn't bowled since the 10th over and has four to defend in the last over.
Nilesh: "Please tell me Heath Streak got an over left. I want Zim to win this......... oh is it a dream?"
