Zimbabwe kept it nerve to win by two runs in their first one-day international against the West Indies at Guyana’s National Stadium on Thursday.

The hosts, chasing Zimbabwe’s 254 for five off 50 overs, were restricted to 252 for nine.

The West Indies needed 15 runs off the last over and were well on course when tailender Nikita Miller hit a six and a four off the first two balls. He took a single off the third delivery before debutant pacer Shingirai Masakadza shifted the momentum with two wickets in successive balls.

Needing four off the last ball, batter Kemar Roach could only eke out a single to midwicket as Zimbabwe celebrated its first one-day victory in the Caribbean in 10 attempts.
