Windies blow away inept Zimbabwe


Last night I decided to watch the ICC Champions Trophy match featuring Zimbabwe and the West Indies which was played at Ahmedabad, India. Normally with these matches I would watch the first innings only because by then it will be time to go to bed but this time the whole match was finished before 10:30 pm Melbourne time. This time less than forty five overs were required to settle the match in the Windies favour.

It confirmed to me that this Zimbabwe team has a very long way to go before starting to compete on the highest stage. I think it will be a similar result against Sri Lanka and the match can only be lengthened if Sri Lanka bat first because then they would most probably bat the whole 50 overs.

As you can imagine for a total score of 85, only three Zimbabwe players managed to reach double figures with captain Utseya scoring 27 and the other two were Mufambisi and Chigumbura who scored 18 and 10 respectively.
