Predicted Result
West Indies will host an in-form Zimbabwe side with grand ambitions when they meet at Wankhede Stadium on November 17. Both teams possess potency both batting and bowling which promises an exciting contest.
The Windies have shown dominance throughout their group stage matches and are one of the clear favorites to lift the trophy this tournament. Their impressive win against England bolstered this reputation and their record stands as evidence.
Zimbabwe have come into this match bolstered by their dominant performance against Sri Lanka and are carrying momentum with them into this match. They will be strengthened further by all-rounder Sikandar Raza’s return and Blessing Muzarabani who can pose a threat with bat.
West Indies will face Zimbabwe at home and their bowlers must be on top form to prevent Zimbabwe from reaching the semi-finals.
With Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer leading their batting attacks, their batsmen should present formidable opposition. But in order to advance, their bowling must also perform admirably to keep Zimbabwe out.
Muzarabani attempted to turn things around by going fuller but failed to pick up Hetmyer’s edge; eventually he reached 49 off 41 balls.
Muzarabani had been an impressive performer throughout this tournament until now, but he attempted to slow the run rate by bowling a fuller delivery, only for Myers to punish him with a boundary. Zimbabwe lost three wickets during the powerplay, causing their required run rate to rise sharply.
Even Evans’ determined innings towards the end could not prevent the heavy 107-run defeat, while dropped catches further compounded Zimbabwe’s problems.
Motie claimed three crucial wickets to put the match firmly under West Indies’ control, as reflected in the Zimbabwe National Cricket Team Vs West Indies Cricket Team Match Scorecard, which highlights the visitors’ dominant all-round performance.
