Mayers goes on the back foot and punches it to cover-point. Fuller in length and outside off, Charles hangs back to have a go at it but only manages to slice it behind the cover fielder. The West Indian skipper falls in the process and the ball lobs back to the bowler. He bowls to Nicholas Pooran, shortish and on off, Pooran punches it to extra cover and they cross for a hesitant single. Coming to the delivery, it's short and wide outside off, Rovman Powell rocks back and cuts it towards point. He fails to close the face in time and the leading edge sends the ball lobbing to the right of the bowler. Shorter and around leg stump, Brooks looks to pull but misses and gets hit on the pads. Powell is able to get on the front foot and drives through the line. Powell seems to have missed it and the ball hits the top of the pad before rolling away onto the leg side. Hosein picks it up and thumps it over mid off to pick up a much-needed boundary for his side. This is pitched up around the off stump and Powell yet again looks to whack it across the line. At 97-3, when West Indies were starting to slow down and needed him to stay there in the middle, a mix-up between him and Powell resulted in his untimely departure.

Ireland defeating Scotland has given a breather to West Indies, as even a loss today will not completely outdo them from the tournament. The latter will expect one or two batters to stand up and salvage the team. A loss and first-round exit will mean a change in the T20I dynamics. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. More so after Coach Phil Simmons had termed their batting โ€œunprofessionalโ€ after the first match. A defeat here for the West Indies will almost ensure their ouster from the tournament, and hence, a victory is a must for them against Zimbabwe.

1.4 Akeal Hosein to Madhevere, 2 runs, flighted close to off, Madhevere makes room and lofts it over extra cover. The fielder was brought in and hence the big shot, he doesn't time it well and has to settle with a brace Good length ball outside off, Chakabva throws his bat on the drive and chops it back on off the inside edge. 3.2 Obed McCoy to Madhevere, no run, even McCoy is getting some extra lift. Replays show Joseph rolling his fingers over the ball. The ball is flying off the deck and thudding into Pooran's mitts.

17.1 Alzarri Joseph to Jongwe, out Bowled!! It (the yorker) took a lot of work but it all depends on the batter and how they move in the crease, for me it is about keeping the ball close to the batter. Their bowlers did well earlier to keep West Indies to 153, only for the batters to capitulate having been rattled by Joseph and company. We have another game and have to win it to get to the main tournament. It is all about pulling it back for the team, trying to get an early wicket and if not keep it tight. With the new ball it (the conditions) was pretty good but it still was a good wicket for cricket. All in all happy with the performance and the team put in a big effort today. Credit to WI and Joseph who opened up the gates. This result now means that all the teams in Group B have a win each and it's all to play for. We spoke yesterday and knew we had to do well as a batting group. Were happy to restrict them to 150. They did pretty well to pull it back.

The ball sneaks under the willow and goes on to smash into the stumps. This is angled in at the base of the middle and leg stump. The ball rockets into the middle stump and the Windies players breathe a sigh of relief. Blessing Muzarabani looks to take it on but is well beaten. West Indies have the points on the board and will go into their final group game with momentum on their side. Pooran counts on the experience of Jason Holder and heaps his praise on Alzarri Joseph who has been in exceptional form since the beginning of 2022. That's it, Jason Holder knocks over Tendai Chatara and seals the victory for his team. Regis Chakabva, the stand-in captain of Zimbabwe, says that his bowlers stuck to the plans and hit the right areas, especially the spinners. The middle order yet again disappointed but Rovman Powell did manage to get in a few big hits towards the fag end of the innings which ensured that the Windies got a defendable total on board. The two teams in Group B who had lost a game won this time around and the two who had points on the board finished on the losing side, throwing this group wide open. On his plan to bowl Kyle Mayers up front, Pooran replies that he is the one who swings the ball but he failed to get it right. Sri Lanka will take on the Netherlands in the first game of the day at 9.30 am IST (4 am GMT) followed by a clash between Namibia and the United Arab Emirates at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT).

West Indies vs Zimbabwe, 8th Match, Group B (Cricbuzz)

West Indies vs Zimbabwe, 8th Match, Group B. West Indies won by 31 runs. WI - 153/7 (20) ZIM - 122 (18.2). CRR: 6.65. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Blessing Muzarabani*, 1(4), 0, 0, 25. Bowling, O, M, R, W. Jason Holder*, 3.2, 0, 12, 3.

It (the yorker) took a lot of work but it all depends on the batter and how they move in the crease, for me it is about keeping the ball close to the batter. Their bowlers did well earlier to keep West Indies to 153, only for the batters to capitulate having been rattled by Joseph and company. 17.1 Alzarri Joseph to Jongwe, out Bowled!! We have another game and have to win it to get to the main tournament. The bowlers are doing it, shot out Scotland for 160-odd, we are coming together as a group and continue to develop, we are still searching for wickets in the powerplay but we are learning. It is all about pulling it back for the team, trying to get an early wicket and if not keep it tight. With the new ball it (the conditions) was pretty good but it still was a good wicket for cricket. Jason is the most experienced bowler we have here and we expect a lot from him game after game, Alzarri as well, not only this year but since he returned to the T20 side, he's our best bowler and leader of our attack. Not only Jason and Alzarri, but others are contributing and we have to learn how to win as well. This result now means that all the teams in Group B have a win each and it's all to play for. We spoke about the process and made a decision to bowl Mayers the first over, if you look at our pacers he's the only one who can swing the ball, unfortunately he hasn't got it right but we back him. We spoke yesterday and we know we have to be responsible as a batting group, enough is enough.
