WATCH: Bizarre - Windies 'Mankad' Zimbabwe
WATCH: a totally farcical finish to today's U19 World Cup match between Zimbabwe and West Indies, where a quarter-final place was up for grabs.
Zimbabwe needed three runs off six deliveries with a single wicket in hand for a place in the quarter-finals, making for a potentially heart-stopping final over.
That after the Windies had posted 226/9 in their 50 overs.
West Indian bowler Keemo Paul was in delivery stride for the first ball of the over, when he whipped off the bails at the non-striker's end with Zimbabwean Richard Ngarava out of his crease in what is commonly known as 'mankading' in cricket.
After a lengthy deliberation between the umpires and a request to the Windies captain Shimron Hetmyer whether he wanted to withdraw the appeal, Ngarava was given out.
The West Indies advanced to the quarter-finals by two runs.
