West Indies see off hapless Zimbabwe
PORT-OF-SPAIN, May 15: West Indies completed a 5-0 series win over Zimbabwe when they clinched the seventh and final One-day International by 104 runs on Sunday (partly reported in Monday’s edition). Dwayne Smith snared four wickets for 29 runs as Zimbabwe, chasing 267 from their allocation of 50 overs, were dismissed for 162 in 49 overs.
West Indies, who go on to face a much stiffer examination against India, also completed back-to-back victories by five wickets and 98 runs in the first two matches at St. John's, an 82-run win last Sunday at Georgetown, and a 10-wicket triumph last Wednesday at Gros Islet.
Brendon Taylor struck five fours on Sunday to top score for Zimbabwe with 43 from 82 balls and Vusimuzi Sibanda gave him support with 42 off 82 balls that contained two boundaries.
They added 59 for the third wicket, but there no substance and no stability from the rest of the batting which quickly folded.
Ramnaresh Sarwan, who hit half-dozen boundaries in the top score of 91 from 114 balls, was named Man-of-the-Match while the Man-of-the-Series award went to Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
West Indies now tackle India in a series of five ODIs and four Tests, and Zimbabwe contest a triangular ODI series in Trinidad, starting on Tuesday.
