Windies prevail despite anxious moments

AFP

Powell to Sibanda, OUT, and another! shocking piece of judgment from Sibanda who completely misreads the line and shoulders arms, only to watch his off stump go backwards. Powell on fire and Zimbabwe already sinking quickly...to Powell's credit that did nip back, but it was always too close to leave. There's been a few batsmen go without playing shots so far in the World Cup •AFP

Brendan Taylor plays a one-handed drive...•AFP

Mpofu to Gayle, OUT, gone! what a breakthrough, Mpofu's first ball back is just outside off stump, Gayle has a nibble and the edge flies to Taylor's left, it's a regulation catch but he tries to take it one-handed, palming it away, but Sibanda is behind him to catch the rebound...almost a replay of the one Taylor shelled against Ireland, only to be rescued by Sibanda's sharp reflexes •AFP

At the other end was Dwayne Bravo, who partnered his captain through the anxious moments to see the team book a spot in the Super 8s•AFP

Taylor to Kasteni, OUT and he only lasts one ball! full inswinger from Taylor and that would have been too much for better players. Kasteni was late on it, played all around the ball and it crashed into off stump. Great start for West Indies •AFP

Shivnarine Chanderpaul works to leg in typical style as he puts on 73 for the first wicket with Chris Gayle•AFP

Mupariwa to Samuels, OUT, gone! now then, now then, a loose drive from Samuels finds point and a soft wicket for West Indies to give away. Zimbabwe continue to chip away and will feel they have sniff in this match...with that everyone takes a drink and has a moment to take stock •AFP

Taylor to Chibhabha, OUT, that's why no one went up, he was planning on cleaning him up next ball! full and straight, Chibhabha beaten for pace and gets nowhere near it, Zimbabwe in further trouble after a promising stand •AFP
