5.00pm That's it then. An excellent bowling display from West Indies. Challenging conditions in the first two matches of the tournament. The teams go to Bulawayo next. Will batsmen have a slightly better time there? We'll find out soon. Do join us for that. Until then, bye!

Presentation time. Upul Tharanga: "We restricted them to 227. Bowlers did a great job. Wicket was really good. Our batting didn't turn up today. We lost three early wickets, and we didn't recover from that. We didn't have any good partnership. We have about 3-4 days of rest. Especially from the batting department, we have to work a lot."

Jason Holder: "Probably fell short of our batting target, but we bowled well. I thought we were outstanding on our field. It's good to win, hopefully start turning things around. There are still areas to work on, it's important we keep improving. They're three quality players [the debutants], I just backed them." He's also the man of the match.

Devon: "Great to see the three WI debutants contribute significantly to this victory."

4.48pm A commanding win, West Indies gain a bonus point. It's their first ODI win away from home since the 2015 World Cup. Their total of 227 didn't look adequate at first, but their seamers exploited a helpful surface brilliantly to defend it, especially Jason Holder with the new ball. Gabriel and the debutant Nurse took three each, but Holder was the star as far as I'm concerned. Swung it, seamed it, got extra bounce, and took two early wickets

Gabriel to Lakmal, OUT, low full toss at 145 kph. Lakmal looks to clip it away to the leg side, but that was extremely quick and he is hurried, ends up getting an inside edge and the ball goes off the pad straight into the stumps
