Champions Trophy qualifying round [2nd qualifier ODI, Ahmedabad] West Indies beat Zimbabwe by 9 wickets. There was no food (dinner) break for this match
Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat. They were all out for 85 in 30.1 overs. West Indies made 85 runs in just 14.2 overs. Chris Gayle helped the Windies to trash rest of Zimbabwe bowling attack.
Naturally West Indies captain Brian Lara was happy man today, he said:
We were very clinical in our approach and bowled really well… It was a very good batting track but the guys stuck to the line and length they’re supposed to and got results.
Oh yeah, Lara finished the game in style with two successive sixes. I am sure this win will give his team confidence for the more important upcoming matches in the Champions Trophy.
“I was looking to entertain and be positive”, said the left hander Chris Gayle.
