New Zealand helped West Indies

Cricket is surely a gentleman's game and it was personified in the ICC Cricket World Cup U19. The players of New Zealand helped West Indies after yesterday's match.

West Indies was defeated by New Zealand by two wickets in their quarterfinal clash and got past the target of 238 runs with two balls to spare in Benoni, South Africa. But what made the whole match memorable is the fact that Jesse Tashkoff and Joseph Field decided to carry Kirk McKenzie off the field. McKenzie who made 99 runs had to leave the field with several cramps making it difficult for the player to walk. Impressed by New Zealand's display of sportsmanship on the field, cricket fans couldn't help but praise them.

Here's how fans celebrated the moment on Twitter:
