Two-time World Champions West Indies will take on Zimbabwe in a do-or-die Group B match of the ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2022 at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Wednesday (October 19). West Indies must win the match if they hope to qualify for the Super 12 stage after they lost their opening game to Scotland on Monday by a massive margin of 42 runs.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, won their first match over Ireland thanks to all-round show by Sikandar Raza. Ireland have, however, bounced back from that loss on Wednesday and defeated Scotland by six wickets to remain in hunt for a qualification berth to the Super 12 stage.
