Exciting stuff this .... 7 overs left ...68 needed

[Sarge]

6 overs to go ...57 needed

 

[Sarge]

Allen run out first ball of the 6th over ... hell of an innings from him ... 51 runs

 

[Sarge]

Pooran gets his 100...on 101 now, his maiden odi 100?

 

[Sarge]

30 balls left ...Windies need 47

neither side can quailify for the semi finals, yet this is one of , if not the most excited match in this World cup

 

[Sarge]

Malinga back to bowl

 

[Sarge]

40 now the target from 24 deliveries.... Cotterell on strike for the start on this over

 

[Sarge]

...and he gets a single, Pooran on strike now

 

[Sarge]

Windies notch up 300

 

[Sarge]

18 balls ...31 needed

 

[Sarge]

Matthews coming in to bowl ....Pooran on strike in 48th over

 

[Sarge]

...and Pooran gone after a superb and battling 118

 

[tonyw]

Apparently that Pooran wicket was the first ball that Matthews has bowled since December 2017!

Should be the matchwinner now......

 

[Sarge]

Cotterell dropped on 4 ...what an exciting & captivating match this has turned into

 

[Sarge]

28 required off 12 balls .... Malinga bowling , with 2 tail enders left .... but, who knows?

 

[Sarge]

lbw review ... and Thomas given out

 

[Sarge]

last over ...26 needed ... unlikely

 

[Foley]

The run out of Adam's was probably the turning point
A really good game considering nothing was riding on it.
The WIs have some very good younger players coming through

 

[Sarge]

that was a great attempt by windies ...Sri lanka win by 23

 

[SteMerritt]

The West Indies do tend to specialise in glorious defeat these days, gave it a right go again.
