Cricket: Crucial one-run win for the West Indies

The West Indies reached the final of the triangular one-day series when they beat Zimbabwe by five wickets with one ball to spare in Bulawayo yesterday.

Chasing Zimbabwe's 255 for five from 50 overs in their penultimate round-robin match, the West Indies reached the last over needing five more to win. After scampering three singles, Ridley Jacobs whipped the fifth delivery from Heath Streak through a packed infield for the winning runs. The West Indies play India in Sunday's final.
