Chris Gayle scored 215 (147 balls) for the West Indies against Zimbabwe at Canberra's Manuka Oval in the 2015 tournament, going on to take 2-35 with the ball as the West Indies won by 73 runs under Duckworth/Lewis. More impressive was Martin Guptill's unbeaten 237 off 163 balls for New Zealand in the quarterfinals against the West Indies in Wellington.
