Zimbabwe 109-9 (15 ovs) vs WI 254-6 | SCORECARD

Zimbabwe slipping towards a big defeat. Jason Holder strikes in his second over as Cremer is caught and bowled by the tall pacer, who reacts quicky as he leaps to his right and stretches out his right hand to pouch it easily.

'That's like plucking an apple out of the tree for Jason Holder,' exclaims Ian Bishop on commentary.

Blessing Muzarabani can only keep out the last three balls as Holder concedes just a single in the 14th over.

Hosein is back into the attack. Evans steps down the track only for a single to long-on before Muzarabani swings hard but gets the top edge which is taken by Joseph on the leg side, who does well to judge the high catch.

Joseph got there early and settled himself nicely under the ball before completing a top catch with the reverse cup.

West Indies just one wicket away from a thumping victory, which puts them in a good position to advance from the group.

Left-hander Richard Ngrava smashes Hosein's last ball over midwicket for a six as the spinner finishes with 3/28 from his four overs, including a double wicket maiden.
