West Indies came out all guns blazing in the ninth and decisive One-Day International (ODI) of the West Indies Tri-Nation Series 2016 against South Africa at Bridgetown and won the game to chisel their path into the final. West Indies not only needed a win but a huge one as their net run rate was pretty low. They will now lock horns with Australia in the final and the battle will surely be enthralling. Also Read: 14 mind-boggling quotes from Chris Gayle’s autobiography ‘Six Machine’

Batting first, West Indies scored 285 runs in their 50 overs with Darren Bravo smashing a ton. Kieron Pollard, Jason Holder and Carlos Brathwaite contributed with some priceless runs and helped their side to achieve a respectable total. Also Read: When Marlon Samuels almost gave up cricket post the dark days of 2007
