| Utseya: It was a good team effort but we should be careful in the next few games. I think this pitch was not the best to bat on, the score that we got was always comfortable. We're glad that we have pulled it off today. We respect the Windies, they're a very good side, we want to stay focussed. |

|
| Sibanda, the Man of the Match: Usually, I like scoring quick but today, I couldn't play in that fashion. We got a decent total although they made it difficult for us. |

| Gayle: We never played to our level and we need to admit that they played better cricket than us. We haven't been able to use the depth of our line-up well. |

| This has been a thriller of a contest and rich entertainment is something that you won't be deprived of whenever these two teams are taking the field. If the Only T20I wasn't enough for the visitors, they have made sure that they didn't lose their momentum. The Windies started off in their run-chase much like the Zimbabweans did but other than the top three, no one else impressed with the bat. The Windies were still with a hope after Miller smashed 11 runs in the first 3 balls but quick wickets once again spelt doom for them. Zimbabwe deserve all the praise that's coming their way and overall, cricket's the winner today |
