Preview
West Indies and Zimbabwe will play the 8th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Wednesday (October 19) at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. Both teams have had a contrasting start to the tournament. West Indies lost their opening game against Scotland by 42 runs. They were never in the game either with the bat or ball. Firstly, the bowlers conceded 160 runs, and then the batters were bundled out for just 118 runs. Jason Holder was the lone warrior for the team as he shined with both bat and ball. Apart from him, none of the batters managed to score over 20 runs. The team contains several players who had a great time in the recently concluded CPL and a similar performance was expected from them in this game. However, the performance in the first game has now made this a do-or-die game for the most successful team in T20 World Cup’s history.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, returned to the tournament after failing to qualify last year. Sikandar Raza, who has been in great form this year continued his dream run in the last game against Ireland and scored 82 runs out of the 174 runs that Zimbabwe posted on the board. The bowlers restricted Ireland to just 143 runs and handed the team a win by 31 runs. West Indies and Zimbabwe last played a T20I game against each other back in March 2013.
