Zimbabwe stuns West Indies by T20 win

Graeme Cremer captured three wickets for 11 runs as Zimbabwe get a stunning 26-run victory over West Indies in a Twenty20 International on Sunday.

Zimbabwe subjugated Caribbean propensity to spin as West Indies chasing a modest 106 for victory were restricted to 79 for 7 from 20 overs. This is also the lowest total by Windies in T20s.The Zimbabwe spinners shared all 7 wickets with off-spinner Greg Lamb taking 2 for 14, Prosper Utseya and Ray Price took 1 wicket each. It was a complete reversal of fortunes after Zimbabwe's batting at Queen's Park Oval was demolished by Darren Sammy and Suleiman Benn.

After deciding to bat, Zimbabwe were dismissed for 105 in 19.5 overs as Sammy collected 5 for 26 runs and Benn 4 for 6 runs. Hamilton Masakadza hit the top score of 44 runs from 67 balls for the Zimbabwe. Elton Chigumbura led a late charge with 34 runs from 19 balls to bring some respectability to the total. No other batsman passed 20.
