WINDIES LOOKING TO CLINCH SERIES

 

 

Bulawayo, Zimbabwe - The West Indies will be looking to win the fourth One-Day International against Zimbabwe on Friday and take an unassailable lead in the five-match series. This message from Dwayne Bravo, the stand-in captain, who said the aim is to "win and win big" when the two teams meet at the picturesque Queen's Sports Club.

"This is the most important game of the series. If we win that would mean we clinch the series. That was our goal from the time we arrived, to win the series. We were looking to win 5-0 but Zimbabwe beat us in the first match, which was high-scoring," Bravo said on Thursday.

"Since the first match we went back to the drawing board and have been playing the way we know we can. We won convincingly in the second and third matches and we will be looking to do the same in the fourth match. Win and win big and close out the series."

The West Indies players had an intense five-hour training session at the ground on Thursday. In the morning they had fielding drills and in the afternoon they batted and bowled in the nets.

Play starts at 9:30 am (3:30 am Eastern Caribbean Time). The West Indies starting XI will be named on the morning of the match. The fifth and final match is at Queen's Sports Club on Sunday.
