Zimbabwe v West Indies

At Bulawayo, November 25, 2016. Zimbabwe won by five runs (DLS). ‡Zimbabwe 218-8 (49 overs) (Sikandar Raza 76*, T. S. Chisoro 42*; D. Bishoo 3-30, A. R. Nurse 3-27); West Indies 124-5 (27.3 overs) (J. L. Carter 43*). Zimbabwe 4pts. MoM: T. S. Chisoro.
After spinners Nurse and Devendra Bishoo took three wickets apiece, Sikandar Raza orchestrated a remarkable comeback, as Zimbabwe recovered from 89-7 to reach 218. Sikandar, who hit just three fours from 103 balls, put on 38 with Tiripano, then 91* - a national ninth-wicket record - with Tendai Chisoro. West Indies' reply also had a poor start. The openers fell quickly, as Cremer began with spin from both ends in the drizzle. Carter and Holder (22*) were putting things right when the rain intensified, with West Indies just short of the par score - and a point short of the final.
