| West Indies won the toss and will bowl | |||
| Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the twelfth match in the 2007 Cricket World Cup which sees hosts West Indies looking to book their place in the Super Eights with a victory over winless Zimbabwe at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica. This is a Group D game. | |||
| Group D could be completed this evening if the West Indies win, meaning the end of the road for | |||
| Zimbabwe and amazingly, Pakistan, who lost to Ireland on 'Minnows Saturday'. A Windies win would mean that they and Ireland proceed to the Super Eights but Zimbabwe know that they can keep this group alive with a win here as they could overhaul Ireland into second place. What an incredible looking table would Group D look with Ireland and Zimbabwe at the top and West Indies and Pakistan at the bottom! | |||
| Naturally, on home soil and against the weak Zimbabweans, the hosts will start as favourites, having already recorded a win in the opening game of the tournament against Pakistan. Zimbabwe secured a tie against Ireland in match one for them. | |||
| The twelfth game of the tournament, at Sabina Park, is the 23rd match to be staged here since 1984. The first game, in April of that year, saw West Indies trounce Australia by 9 wickets and they went on to win 11 for the first 12 games they played here. But their opening day win over Pakistan was just their second since 2001. This will be the fourth time Zimbabwe have travelled to Sabina and they are still searching for their first win. | |||
| This will be the 32nd time West Indies and Zimbabwe have played each other in one-day internationals. West Indies have won eight of the last nine with one no-result and they also won the first eight head-to-head too. In-between, Zimbabwe have won 7 while the home side have taken their tally to 23. The first time they met was in Worcester in the 1983 World Cup and a week later in Birmingham. An 8-wicket and 10-wicket win were the results. | |||
| Richie Richardson is the leading run-scorer on this ground with 418 in 8 games (average 69.66) while Curtly Ambrose holds the record for the most wickets taken with 12 from 7 games (average 17.41). | |||
| The highest individual score for West Indies v Zimbabwe is 153* by Chris Gayle at Bulawayo in 2003/2004. | |||
| The highest individual score for Zimbabwe v West Indies is 112* by Murray Goodwin at Chester-le-Street in 2000. | |||
| The best bowling performance for West Indies v Zimbabwe is 6-22 by Fidel Edwards in Harare in 2003/2004. | |||
| The best bowling performance for Zimbabwe v West Indies is 4-8 by Heath Streak in Sydney in 2000/2001. | |||
| Brian Jerling of South Africa and the enigmatic Billy Bowden from New Zealand take charge of this game with Simon Taufel as third umpire and Ian Gould the fourth. Sri Lankan Roshan Mahanama is the match referee. | |||
| According to pitch expert, it looks really flat and perfect for batting | |||
| West Indies win the toss and opt to bowl first | |||
