Zimbabwe Struggle at 47/3 as Hosein and Forde Stifle Chase

In the WI vs Zim Super Eight clash, West Indies made early inroads, leaving Zimbabwe struggling at 47/3 in just 6 overs. Tadiwanashe Marumani (14 off 8) was the first to go, brilliantly caught by Shimron Hetmyer off Matthew Forde. Brian Bennett (5) and Ryan Burl (0) quickly followed, putting Zimbabwe on the back foot.

West Indies’ bowlers dominated the Powerplay, with Akeal Hosein claiming 2 wickets for 21 runs in 3 overs and Forde adding another wicket while keeping the pressure high. The visitors’ top order struggled to find rhythm against WI’s disciplined attack, leaving them far behind the required run rate in this crucial Super Eight clash.

Sikandar Raza and Dion Myers are at the crease, trying to steady the innings, but the West Indies bowling dominance has already set the tone for what looks like a challenging chase for Zimbabwe. Fans are left questioning whether Zimbabwe can recover from this early setback in the high-stakes WI vs Zim encounter.
