West Indies hammer Zimbabwe after 254 at Wankhede
West Indies crushed Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup Super 8 on Sunday at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, piling up a massive 254 to seal one of the tournament’s most dominant wins and boost their semifinal hopes.
Powered by explosive top-order batting, the Caribbean side tore into Zimbabwe’s attack from the outset, racing past 100 inside the powerplay and finishing with one of the highest totals in T20 World Cup history. A century from their star batter set the tone, while late overs carnage pushed the score beyond reach. “We wanted to be fearless,” he said after the match. “On this pitch, you have to keep attacking.”
Zimbabwe’s captain admitted, “They were outstanding. We couldn’t contain them.”
A cricket analyst added, “That total was virtually unchaseable.”
The emphatic win strengthens West Indies’ position in the Super 8 race.
