WI giving a phainta to SL.

West Indies surely can't botch this chase?

They are looking good to win this.

 

[Mobashir]

Good move to finally promote Pooran up the order.

 

[sweep_shot]

SL have used 7 bowlers today. It is like their old habit (using 7-8 bowlers in an ODI game).

 

[sweep_shot]

Shai Hope averages over 52. Pooran averages over 50.

West Indies are finally starting to find consistent players.

 

[sweep_shot]

West Indies need 150 runs from 23 overs (9 wickets in hand).

 

[sweep_shot]

West Indies just have to knock the ball around and not try anything risky.

West Indies - 169/1 after 30 overs.

139 runs are needed from 20 overs.

Hope is gone.

171/2.

West Indies - 183/2 after 33 overs.

WI Need 120 from 90 balls!! should chase this comfortably..

West Indies - 187/2 after 35 overs.

121 runs are needed from 15 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

West Indies need 110 runs from 80 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

Required run rate is now close to 9.

West Indies have wickets in hand (8 wickets left). However, they shouldn't get too defensive. A few wickets can kill off the game here.

 

[shane]

That run out of Bravo was strange. I thought it was the case that once you lose a review then the ball is called "dead". Does that not mean that Bravo should not have been run out?

 

[MMHS]

I think, umpires made a mistake here. If Pollard’s LBW is reviewed, then the ball should be dead, therefore Bravo can’t be run out - or am I missing something here?

 

[MMHS]

Pathetic from WIN - why should Chase be dropped at 9, then he was sacrificed for an impossible double, when guy himself can blast few.

 

[BDfanforever]

9 off 5 needed now.

 

[BDfanforever]

Aww wicket. That was close to being 6.

Unlucky WI with poor management
They can be very powerful ODI team.

 

[MMHS]

Horrible cricket by WIN - they should have won this series 2-1, instead lost it 3-0!!!!

Don’t think so - this

Don’t think so - this is a loose SRL team. To lose to them twice like this takes some effort & WIN accomplished that.

Bangladesh lost to the same team recently.

 

[MMHS]

Bangladesh lost to the same team recently.

Doesn’t matter.

SRL is not a good ODI team any more. Extremely inconsistent- on their day can spank even England, India... then very next day .... to lose to them 2 close games is not a good sign.

 

[sweep_shot]

Can't believe WI lost the game. They looked like they were going to win.
