Preview:

West Indies will face Zimbabwe in the Group B contest of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Wednesday. It’s not the start West Indies would have wanted for their tournament campaign as they were thoroughly thrashed by Scotland by 42 runs. Jason Holder’s one-man show went unnoticed. It’s a wake-up call for them and one loss from here will cost them the tournament for sure. Skipper Nicholas Pooran should find some form as he managed to score only 9 runs in his last 3 T20Is. They need to be more sensible with the bat as they went hard at times, miscuing on most occasions. They are expecting big runs from their top-order batters.

On the contrary, Zimbabwe made an exceptional start with a convincing 31 runs win over Ireland. An incredible special innings from all-rounder Sikandar Raza and an equally fierce fast-bowling display secured them vital 2 points. They lost 3 wickets inside the powerplay and later we witnessed a batting master-class from veteran Raza who struck valiant 82 runs before getting dismissed on the final ball of the innings. Craig Ervine was spot on with his captaincy skills and maneuvered the troops really well. They need to recreate similar performances against West Indies who are playing for survival.

What is the pitch report for WI vs ZIM, T20 World Cup 2022, Group B, Match 8?

Straight boundaries are quite long that’s where the spinners come into play. Bowling full is not a bad idea on this surface and the batters need to play long. Batting first is a good option here.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Jason Holder gave his everything in the last outing against Scotland which didn’t help West Indies in winning the game. He picked up 2 wickets initially and later scored fighting 38 runs.

Top Pick – Bowler

Speedster Alzarri Joseph went for runs in his first over against Scotland and later came back well, picking up 2 wickets. He is a good pick for your fantasy teams.
