Match eight of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 will see West Indies square off against Zimbabwe at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart in a Group B fixture.
West Indies didn’t have the best of starts to the competition. They suffered a heavy defeat to Scotland in their first game. Batting first, Scotland made 160-5. Jason Holder top-scored with 38 but lacked support from the other end as the two-time winners were skittled out for 118. West Indies will need to bounce back to keep alive their Super 12 hopes.
