Toss Zimbabwe chose to bowl vs West Indies
Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza won the toss and opted to bowl in their Super Eight fixture against West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium. West Indies captain Shai Hope said that he would have preferred to bowl first too.
West Indies welcomed back Romario Shepherd, who had missed their previous two games with a leg injury. He replaced offspin-bowling allrounder Roston Chase, with seam-bowling allrounder Matthew Forde keeping his place in the XI.
For Zimbabwe, towering left-arm quick Richard Ngarava was declared fit and he slotted back into the team in place of Wellington Masakadza, the left-arm fingerspinner.
