HOBART, Australia, Oct 19, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran won the toss and opted to bat against Zimbabwe in their second match of the Twenty20 World Cup in Hobart on Wednesday.
The two-time champions hit a huge roadblock in their opening game against Scotland, crashing by 42 runs.

They face another tough match in their bid to make the Super 12 against a Zimbabwe side fresh from a convincing 31-win over Ireland on Monday.
The West Indies made one change with Johnson Charles replacing Brandon King.

In a big blow for Zimbabwe, their captain Craig Ervine was ruled out just before the start with a "mild asthmatic attack".

Tony Munyonga replaced him with Regis Chakabva deputising as skipper.
