As a cricket fan living in Mumbai, it was a treat to watch this match live. Motie's control was exceptional. Du Plessis is right to praise them – they outthought the Zimbabwe batters at every turn. The atmosphere was electric!

Honestly, while the win was dominant, Zimbabwe's batting was very poor. They made the spinners look even better. A good team would have played them differently. Credit to WI, but let's see how they fare against top-order sides like India or Australia.

The West Indies are always an entertaining side! Their spin attack is becoming a real strength. Good for the tournament to have multiple strong teams. Hoping for a India vs WI final in 2026! 🤞

Faf du Plessis giving this analysis shows his sharp cricket brain. He's played so much in India, he knows what he's talking about. Motie and Hosein were brilliant, no doubt. Their economy rates were fantastic.
