Given the general tolerance towards the transgression, quite probably WI won because Zimbabwe didn't mankad when they could have done. It'd be more honest, given the convention, to tell the opposition at the start of the game what your intentions are.

Do you normally do text commentary, GB? Let us know the next time you are, so we can message you....
Not impressed by the the way this happened, or by the celebrations afterwards.
That said, it's time the ICC did something about it. Either it's legal to run a non-striker out like that, or it isn't. It's not cheating if it's not against the law...and the umpires upheld the appeal.
