The West Indies’ under-19 one-day cricket team has earned themselves a place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup with a controversial Mankad run out in the final over of the match.
With Zimbabwe needing just three runs in the final over to secure the win, West Indian fast bowler Keemo Paul removed the bails of Richard Ngarava at the non-striker’s end, after the unlucky batsman had edged just slightly out of his crease, ending the match.
Viewers took to social media in outrage following the dismissal, with Australian coach Darren Lehmann chiming in calling the decision ‘Unbelievable’.

“I am disappointed with the way the game ended. I have debriefed the boys in the dressing room and they were all crying,” Zimbabwe coach Stephen Mangongo said.
