WI vs ZIM: West Indies will lock horns against Zimbabwe in Match 8 of the ICC T20 World Cup, 2022 on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, at Bellerive Oval, Hobart.
The two-time T20 World Champions have failed to knock the failure shackles in the T20 World Cup 2022 qualifiers as they were trounced by Scotland in their tournament opener by 42 runs.
Opting to bowl first, the Windies bowlers looked absolutely clueless with their line and lengths as they went on to concede a total of 160 runs. In reply, they were bundled out for just 118 runs.
It is going to be a must-win match for Nicholas Pooran & Co. and they can’t afford to lose another one as it would shut the door of their Super 12 qualification chances.
Speaking of Zimbabwe, the team punched above their weight in their opening fixture against Ireland and won the match by 31 runs.
Sikandar Raza persisted with his red-hot form and clobbered 82 runs to help Zimbabwe post a mammoth total of 174 runs. In reply, their bowlers restricted Ireland to just 143 runs.
Heading into this match, they will look to squeeze past the Caribbeans and make a case for themselves to qualify for the Super-12 stage. All in all, an exhilarating T20 game beckons at Hobart.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for Match 8 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, 2022.
