Zim U-19s stalk Windies in must-win tie

THE Zimbabwe Under-19 cricket team will be looking to bounce back from Sunday’s 39-run defeat and level the series against world champions West Indies in the second of a three-match Youth One-Day International series at Peterhouse School in Marondera today.

Zimbabwe need to win at all costs to remain in contention for the series, as they bid to revenge the controversial Under-19 World Cup “Mankad” defeat in Bangladesh last year.

The hosts stuttered in the first ODI three days ago, failing to chase down a 212 target, bundled out for 172 at Harare Sports Club.
