West Indies are taking on Zimbabwe in a crucial Group B match of the first round of the ICC T20 World Cup at Hobart. The Caribbean side, who lost their opening match to Scotland, managed to post a fighting total of 153/7 on the board. While it was opener Johnson Chares, who top-scored with a knock of 45, but the real fillip came from the willows of Rovman Powell (28) and Akeal Hosein (23*), who helped the team get past the 150-run mark.
