New Zealand 189 for 9 (Chapman 80, Santner 34*, Motie 5-47) beat West Indies 188 all out (Jangoo 51, Motie 41, Fisher 3-40) by 1 wicket

West Indies’ narrow one-wicket defeat to New Zealand in the 4th One Day International at Kensington Oval on Sunday has made the Caribbean side's improbable task of avoiding the ICC Qualifying tournament even more difficult.

Windies gave a valiant attempt at defending 188, which made for a far more enthralling contest than the FIFA World Cup Final, which was being played in New York at the same time. 

A win would have given the West Indies important points to keep alive their hopes of a direct spot at the 2027 ICC ODI World Cup to be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. 

After Gudakesh Motie kept the hosts in the contest by completing his maiden five-wicket haul (5 for 47), Jayden Seales produced the wicket-taking delivery needed to secure the win when he had Black Caps captain Mitchell Santner slicing the ball in the air with three runs required for victory.

However, there was no communication from Ackeem Auguste coming in off the boundary and Justin Greaves running back from the inner circle, resulting in the clash of bodies, a spilt catch, and a series loss.

“The kind of quality that this team has, I think we don't deserve to be going to the Qualifiers,” he said. “It's just that that's the position that we're in

Da Silva in exile , Jangoo next.....😔

Da Silva scored a 101 not out against PowerGen yesterday in T&T.

Good words from Jangoo,

@sgtdjones

I won't doubt that.

@Halliwell

Jangoo understands performance is not paramount for selection....after scoring runs...he can't find place in ODI.... it's all about lips service.. talk nah....for Dummy....get selected in all formats......

@sgtdjones

Da Silva scored a 101 not out against PowerGen yesterday in T&T.

Unfortunately he scored a duck vs Pakistan to follow up that big ton vs Powergen.

@voiceofreason

Voicey

He was selected to be the wicketkeeper.

Your chief selecta will not put him on the team....so it matters not.

Such a poorly worded headline. Or maybe intentionally so

@Halliwell

😎

This batting line up is too inconsistent.

The qualifiers are exactly where they belong.

Windies absolutely belong in the qualifiers...yuh reap what yuh sew.....Jangoo just needs to concentrate on his batting ...dnt know who's responsible but the article is a grammatical disaster!
