Gayle misses out on becoming Windies highest ODI run-scorer

Chris Gayle missed out on breaking compatriot Brian Lara's record of highest run-scorer in Windies history

Leeds: Explosive batsman Chris Gayle missed out on breaking compatriot Brian Lara's record of highest run-scorer in Windies's history in the final match at the 2019 World Cup.

Gayle entered the match against Afghanistan with 10331 runs in ODI cricket and was just 17 runs shy of surpssing Lara's 10348 runs to become the highest run-scorer for West Indies.

Afghanistan pacer Dawlat Zadran, however, denied the big-hitter to achieve the milestone as he dismissed the southpaw caught behind cheaply for seven. Now Gayle sits in the second place on West Indies highest run-scorer table with 10338 runs.

With this match, Windies' run in the 2019 World Cup comes to an end as the Men in Maroon could not convert their chances into victories.
