Gayle became the first non-Indian to score a double ton in ODIs, joining Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Rohit Sharma (who scored 200 twice) as ODI double-centurions. Gayle’s 215 was the highest score in World Cup cricket history, beating Gary Kirsten’s long-standing record of 188 not out. Catch live updates of the match between West Indies and Zimbabwe here

Earlier, West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first on a wicket that looked really good to bat on. West Indies made a couple of change in the playing XI as Darren Bravo misses the game with torn hamstring and is replaced by Jonathan Carter, while Sulieman Benn is replaced by Nikita Miller. Having played two matches apiece in the tournament, both teams stand on the same ground with a win and loss so far. This would also be the sixth clash between both teams at the mega event with West Indies, holding a clean advantage of winning the previous five encounters.
