HARARE: West Indies recorded their first win in the Super Six stage of the ongoing ICC World Cup Qualifier, defeating Oman by seven wickets with 62 balls to spare in an inconsequential match in Harare on Wednesday. The West Indies will not be a part of a 50-over World Cup for the first time in 48 years as the Caribbean side has already been knocked out of the qualification race.
Brandon King scored 100 off 104 balls (15x4s) while Shai Hope made an unbeaten 63 as the West Indies remained largely unchallenged in the contest, scoring 222 for three in 39.4 overs after restricting Oman to 221 for nine in 50 overs.
Brief scores: Oman 221/9 in 50 overs (Kashyap Prajapati 31, Ayaan Khan 30, Shoaib Khan 50, Suraj Kumar 53 not out; Romario Shepherd 3/44) lost to West Indies 222/3 in 39.4 overs (Brandon King 100, Shai Hope 63 not out; Kaleemullah 1/49). Agencies
