West Indies vs Zimbabwe ICC World Cup Cricket Match 2007
Last Wicket: M Samuels c Chibhabha b Mupariwa 28 (48)
Group D, Match 3, WI vs ZIM: West Indies beat Zimbabwe by 6 wickets
Mar 19, 2007
Put in to bat by West Indies skipper Brian Lara, Zimbabwe posted 202 for five after 50 overs in the Group D encounter at Jamaica on Monday.
Sean Williams, who remained unbeaten on 74, steered his side to a respectable total after the initial upheaval and he was well supported by Elton Chigumbura who finished at 30 not out.
Zimbabwe started off disastrously as opener Friday Kasteni lasted only one delivery as Jerome Taylor struck to uproot him for a duck and give West Indies an early breakthrough.
Group D, Match 3: West Indies 204-4 ( 47.5 Overs ) beat Zimbabwe 202-5 (50.0 Overs) by 6 wickets
Group D, Match 3, WI vs ZIM: West Indies seeks spot in Super Eight
Mar 19, 2007
West Indies will look to seal a Super 8 spot when they take on lowly Zimbabwe in a Group D match at the Sabina Park here on Monday.
The hosts, after a resounding 54-run win over Pakistan that put the 1992 world champions under skids, should in all likelihood be too strong for the struggling African nation.
Zimbabwe's strengths have not revolved around team spirit with only individual performances by Vusumuzi Sibanda and Stuart Matsikenyeri to show so far in the tournament. That they tied with World Cup debutant Ireland in their previous Group game is also a cause for worry. Zimbabwean captain Prosper Utseya will seek contributions from all the departments if his side is to make any impression against the West Indies but it is highly unlikely that any hands would be raised.
West Indies (from): Brian Lara (captain), Ian Bradshaw, Dwayne Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Corey Collymore, Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Daren Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Marlon Samuels, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Lendl Simmons, Devon Smith, Dwayne Smith, Jerome Taylor.
Zimbabwe Team (from): Prosper Utseya (captain), Gary Brent, Justice Chibhabha, Elton Chigumbura, Keith Dabengwa, Terry Duffin, Anthony Ireland, Friday Kasteni, Stuart Matsikenyeri, Christopher Mpofu, Tawanda Mupariwa, Edward Rainsford, Vusimuzi Sibanda, Brendon Taylor, Sean Williams.

The 2009 ICC World Twenty20 is a Twenty20 cricket tournament scheduled to take place in England in June of 2009. It will be the second World Twenty20 and will consist of 12 teams, contested by all Test-playing nations plus qualifiers (Ireland, Netherlands and Scotland)
The Champions Twenty20 League, formed with the official sanction of ICC will kick off in October 2008. Eight domestic teams from four nations will participate. Cricket Australia will partner the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket South Africa (CSA). The champion team in the Champions Twenty20 league will get US $5 million, which is the highest ever prize money for a cricket event.
The 2007 Cricket World Cup was hosted by the West Indies from March 11 to April 28, 2007. It was contested by 16 nations.
The ten Test Match-playing countries qualified for the World Cup automatically, along with Kenya, which had ODI status and five further teams qualified via the 2005 ICC Trophy. The field of sixteen teams was the largest ever for the Cricket World Cup.
The teams were divided into 4 groups, with each group playing its matches at one ground.
The top two teams from each group competed in a Super 8 format, similar to the previous "Super 6" format, from which the semi-finalists were decided. Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and South Africa won through to the semi-finals, with Australia defeating Sri Lanka in the final to win their third consecutive World Cup.
There were 51 matches overall, spread over eight venues across the West Indies, which were selected to host the World Cup final tournament.
Notable events of the tournament included the death of Bob Woolmer, the Pakistan coach, which happened one day after his team's defeat to Ireland, which put them out of the running for the World Cup. India scored 413-5 in 50 overs against Bermuda, breaking the World Cup record for the highest team total. Herschelle Gibbs hit six sixes in one Daan van Bunge over for South Africa against the Netherlands, becoming the first player to achieve the feat in ODI cricket. Australia became the first team to win 3 consecutive World Cups.
I fully expect us to win every game we play, it doesn't matter what the make-up of the team is. Ricky Ponting, Australian skipper.
Is this a resignation issue? I'll have to talk with my superiors on that. former New Zealand captain and Match referee Jeff Crowe on the blunder by him and the umpires which
caused the farcical scenes at the end of the World Cup final.
I guess it was nice to finish off with a catch behind with Gilly. McGrath on Gilchrist catching Arnold to give him his last ODI wicket. He is the tournament's leading wicket-taker
with a record haul of 25 wickets and the most successful World Cup bowler of all-time.
It was really pleasing to do it on an important day. I've been getting a lot of starts but hadn't converted. Adam Gilchrist who smashed a final record 149 off 104 balls to set up the
victory.
It was simply a brilliant innings from Gilchrist, unfortunately I was the opposition captain watching it. Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene about Adam Gilchrist's 149 off just
104 balls.
My learned commentary is, my commentary is congratulations to Ricky and the boys, but to Glenn McGrath, that lanky bloke from Narromine, thanks for a wonderful contribution to Australian cricket. Prime Minister "cricket tragic" John Howard.
We listen to criticism, and there has been a lot of it from people saying it's been too long - so we'll look to make it shorter. ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed.
