Zimbabwe vs West Indies, 2nd Test: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

Published:

Zimbabwe and West Indies will play the second Test at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Sunday, February 12.

The first Test between the sides ended in a draw, but the fifth-day session was exciting. Zimbabwe was 120-6 after having to chase 272 to win.

However, Tafadzwa Tsiga and Wellington Masakadza’s 14-run partnership off 10.2 overs salvaged the hosts. Gudakesh Motie and Roston Chase took four and two wickets to give West Indies a chance in the rain-plagued contest.

The West Indies started the Test with Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul’s 336-run opening stand. Chanderpaul scored his first Test hundred, while Brathwaite missed a well-deserved double with 182.

Only Gary Ballance and Kepler Wessels have scored hundreds for two nations in Test cricket. Brandon Mavuta scored 56 runs and took five wickets.
