Twitter reacts as Carlos Brathwaite brings West Indies extremely close to legendary win
When the middle order failed to deliver as they fell like a pack of cards after a brilliant start given by Chris Gayle and Shimron Hetmyer, Carlos Brathwaite took up the responsibility to get the win. Unfortunately he fell short by 5 runs. Twitterati had nothing but words of encouragement for him.
Brief Scores: New Zealand 291/8 in 50 overs (Kane Williamson 148, Ross Taylor 69; Sheldon Cottrell 4/56, Carlos Brathwaite 2/58) lost West Indies 286/10 in 49 overs (Carlos Brathwaite 101, Chris Gayle 87; Trent Boult 4/30, Lockie Ferguson 3/59) by 5 runs
Has more twist and turns than an actual horror movie!
Watching West Indies play is like watching a terrible horror movie😔

Afghanistan OUT
South Africa OUT
Now West Indies OUT #WIvNZ
Routine stuff!
How to lose a probable winning match is what West Indies has done over and over in this World Cup 2019. Today's match is no different. #WestIndies were cruising ahead of New Zealand till 22nd over and then thrown away their 5 wickets till 28th over. WHAT A FALL! #WIvNZ #CWC19

This is what Brathwaite has done today! From getting slammed to giving hope to the Windies team!
19 needed off 15. Play with some brains now Brathwaite. Please don't throw it away. #WIvNZ #CWC19

Ben Stokes must be having PTSD right now!
Looks like Brathwaite just remembered Stokes was born in New Zealand

3 years ago this man slapped Stokes for four 6's in a row and won Windies the Final and today
