Two-time T20 World Champions West Indies will take on Zimbabwe in a must-win Group B match of the ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2022 at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Wednesday (October 19). West Indies are in a do-or-die situation after losing their opening game against Scotland on Monday. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, thrashed Ireland in their opening fixture thanks to Sikandar Raza’s all-round show.
They did not have the best of starts to the tournament but West Indies have the wherewithal to turn things around in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022, fells all-rounder Jason Holder. West Indies started their T20 World Cup campaign on a disastrous note, slumping to a shocking 42-run loss against Scotland in a first round Group B match.

Chasing Scotland’s challenging 160 for five, the two-time champion were bundled out for 118. “Obviously we had a tough start yesterday. We were all disappointed with the performance that we had yesterday. But I think the most important thing for us to do is to come together even tighter now and try to find solutions,” Holder said on the eve of their second match against Zimbabwe.
“We had a pretty good chat yesterday after the game, and I’m sure guys went to their rooms and reflected on the performance yesterday. No doubt I think we have what it takes to turn it around. And more or less we need to hitting the ground running against Zimbabwe starting that game out well and beating them,” he added.
