West Indies' Chris Gayle reacts after losing his wicket against Afghanistan. Chris Gayle managed only seven runs in his final World Cup appearance but Shai Hope capitalised on an early reprieve to score 77 and help the eliminated Caribbean side to 311-6 after electing to bat. He finished his last World Cup with only one half-century, and remains just 10 runs behind Lara's record. Dropped catches, squandered run-out opportunity and misfields marred Afghanistan's fielding, best illustrated in the final over of the West Indies innings. Shah and Alikhil refused to throw in the towel, though, frustrating the West Indies attack with a 133-run partnership.
