Morton century puts Windies in control
PORT OF SPAIN, May 13: A brilliant century by opener R. Morton and enterprising half centuries by Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarain Chanderpaul powered West Indies to 263 for six wickets in the fifth ODI.
Despite losing Chris Gayle cheaply West Indies batsmen took heavy toll of some wayward bowling by inexperienced Zimbabwe attack.
Morton and Sarwan (54) put on 134 for the second wicket while Chanderpaul (51 not out) and Carlton Baugh (25 not out) were involved in unfinished seventh wicket stand worth 57 runs.
Newball bowler Mupariwa and Higgins were the pick of Zimbabwe bowlers taking two wickets each.
