Preview:

West Indies and Zimbabwe will lock horns in Hobart after the other Group B matchup. Both teams have been in the best of forms entering this team. The Caribbean side suffered a monumental upset against Scotland. Whereas Zimbabwe had a decent result against the Irish. 


Pitch Report:

The wicket in Hobart has been fast and bouncy and is helpful for the batters. The average score of T20 internationals on this ground is 182 while the average score from over 50 domestic T20s is 169.


Team Analysis:


West Indies

The West Indies team has failed to live up to the two-time champions name after a string of bad performances over the last few years. They always have had a lot of firepower but this time around the Windies seem to lack potency and consistency. Their batting was set to be their strength but didn’t perform well against Scotland. Similarly, their bowlers continued to remain a disappointment.


SportsTiger Playing XI 

Kyle Mayers, Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran (c & wk), Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Odean Smith, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy


Zimbabwe

The Zimbabwean team has looked like a one-man show where all-rounder Sikander Raza, has carried the team on multiple occasions. Be it batting or bowling, Raza has been a top performer leading up to the tournament. Similarly, Ryan Burl has also been effective, contributing with both bat and ball. But their biggest concern remains the health of their players as they don’t have a deep squad.

Conclusion:

West Indies may not seem like a well-rounded team but they have a better set of players who could run through the Zimbabwean team in Hobart.
