Zimbabwe vs West Indies: Preview
It’s only the Zimbabwean team who hasn’t won any so far. So, it is clear that hosts are still struggling in the international cricket. They lost the first game of the series to Sri Lanka by 8 wickets. It was played on November 14.
That green pitch favored fast bowlers, and their batsmen surrendered to Sri Lankan bowling attack for just 154 runs. Not only the batsmen, bowlers too struggled. The opposition won in only 24.3 overs. Peter Moor and captain Graeme Cremer put up some serious fight for the team while others just failed badly.

Well, this was the first victory for the WI after the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. Also, it was the first win against Sri Lanka at a neutral venue since 1999.
Hope, Carter, Powell, Gabriel, Nurse, and skipper Holder made important contributions which helped their country win big against Sri Lankan side. Thus, the whole team and team management will hope to continue their winning momentum in the rest of the tournament.
Moreover, 2017 Champions Trophy is coming. Thus, all teams need to prepare for it.
