1.05pm On the face of it, 268 does seem to be a touch under par, as pre-match a score of around 300 was seen as competitive on what is a good batting surface, but in a game of this magnitude runs on the board is always important and Zimbabwe snuck in a lot of extra runs with that 25-run last wicket stand. The innings as a whole though is one West Indies would have been happy with, as they controlled proceedings in the early overs and then again at the death. However they were extremely sloppy in the field, grassing several chances - particularly to Sikander Raza, who was dropped thrice on the way to a 58-ball 68 - and in the process released the pressure created by their otherwise excellent ground fielding. The excellent Alzarri Joseph was particularly unlucky with a majority of the chances spilled off his bowling. As for Zimbabwe, they will of course have wanted more runs on the board, but they did seem to gather some momentum towards the end of the innings, and will be hoping they can put enough pressure on the West Indies to elicit some mistakes in the chase. And Shashwat will be back in about 30 minutes for the start of that!

The crowd is really in this now.

Sowmya : "This Harare crowd is cheering every run , especially of Keemo Paul !!! He managed to engage with the crowd earlier in the day and now they are at their loudest!!!"

What's more, WI have a slow over rate, so an additional fielder will be in the circle for this final over.
