GAYLE RECORD DOUBLE BLOWS ZIMBABWE AWAY

The records didn't simply tumble at the Manuka Oval on Tuesday (February 24), they were crushed out of the recreation center. The most astounding organization in ODI history (372), putting Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid (331) in the shade. The most balls a couple has batted together (298), again relocating the same team. The most elevated score in a World Mug, overshadowing Gary Kirsten's 188 not out against United Bedouin Emirates in 1996. The most number of sixes in an ODI innings (16), drawing level with Stomach muscle de Villiers and Rohit Sharma.

Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels met up with the scoreboard demonstrating 0-1 after two balls. When Gayle was gotten off a miscue on the last wad of the innings, he had galumphed some way or another to 215 off 147 balls. Samuels had facilitated to 133 from 156. The West Indies had 372 for 2, its most elevated ODI downright Watch Todays Match Highlights. 

Zimbabwe, who had batted with genuine verve in its matches so far, gave additional verification of its capacity with a vivacious run pursue. Sean Williams drove the path with 76, and there were imperative commitments from Craig Ervine and Brendan Taylor as they tried their hardest to scale the run mountain. In any case Jerome Taylor and Jason Holder drove the path with three wickets, while Gayle contributed with two as Zimbabwe's quest for 363 in 48 overs – 20 minutes were lost to rain 2.3 overs into the innings – completed on 289, 73 runs behind (D/L system).

For 35 overs with the ball, Zimbabwe had been commendably trained, notwithstanding taking just the one wicket. At the point when the West Indies took the batting Strategic maneuver, it was 165 for 1. Toward the end of it, the batsmen had included a further 55. The last ten overs was simply massacre, with Samuels joining Gayle in clubbing the bowling to all parts. Zimbabwe went to pieces, surrendering 152 in that period.



Gayle isn't the sort of man to expose heart and soul to all onlookers, and there were few signs at an early stage that he would have the capacity to explore a way out of a pathetic run that had seen him cross 50 simply once in 19 past ODIs. He was uniquely blessed to survive a leg-before yell from Tinashe Panyangara off the first ball he confronted. It cut both cushions, yet despite the fact that Steve Davis provided for it not out, Zimbabwe was certain to such a degree as to try for the audit. However with just a large portion of the ball cutting the safeguards, it didn't get the second wicket in the opening over, after Dwayne Smith had played all around one that darted back a touch. Watch Live Cricket.

Gayle's initial four was a chip over mid-on that ballooned tantalizingly over the fielder, and it was Samuels that looked more familiar ahead of schedule with two capable shots down the ground. Anyhow on a drowsy pitch, Gayle in the long run discovered his extent, burning a spread commute off Tendai Chatara, before flicking him for four more. Williams hit on dish turn and was welcomed with a bang over long-on and a scope for four.

Samuels, who had by then consigned himself to supporting act, ought to have gone when only 27, with the aggregate on 73. In any case Chatara grassed a cut off Sikander Raza at regressive point. The West Indies chilled with beverages, and Gayle continued by going on curved knee to biff Elton Chigumbura over additional spread for six.

He took 51 balls for his half-century, and after that took Tafadzwa Kamungozi over profound midwicket and straight down the ground for sixes. When he got to 79, he got to be just the second West Indian after Brian Lara to achieve 9000 ODI runs, an accomplishment he checked by lobbing Raza over long-on for six. WAtch Cricket Live Streaming

The hundred, his first since making his 21st ODI ton against Sri Lanka in June 2013, took 105 balls, and after that there was no ceasing him. He started the Strategic maneuver with a flicked six off Hamilton Masakadza and Panyangara, who had him gotten off a no-ball and afterward the free hit that took after was treated with equivalent contempt. He finished the Strategic maneuver as he had started it, with a six.

It took Gayle 21 balls to go from 100 to 150 and simply a further 12 to turn into the first twofold centurion at a World Glass. It made him the first non-Indian – Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Rohit (twice) had effectively pulled off the deed – to achieve that milestone in ODIs. It was likewise the quickest twofold (138 balls), besting Sehwag's exertion by two conveyances. Samuels, who had worked 95 balls for his half-century, took only one more 48 for his hundred, and frosted the cake with a whirlwind of hits to and over the rope.

Zimbabwe, notwithstanding losing three wickets in the introductory Strategic maneuver, never dillydallied. Regis Chakabva and Masakadza were both leg some time recently, one given after Holder required a survey, and the other squandering an audit after Jerome Taylor struck him plumb in front. Raza cut and drove flawlessly in a 20-ball cameo of 26 preceding sloping one straight to third man, leaving Taylor and Williams to restore the innings from the profundities of 46 for 3. Watch Todays Match Highlights. 

They did as such at better than a run a ball, including 80 preceding Taylor, who hit two fours and a six in his 37 (48 balls), fell.

Williams was the most familiar of the Zimbabwe batsmen on perspective, striking a few lovely on-drives on some way or another to 76 from 61 balls. However when he made a hash of a force through midwicket, the amusement was tantamount to up. Ervine, who played a few savage pulls, thrashed away for 52 in 41 balls, yet pretty much inescapably, it was Gayle that by and by involved focal point of the a
