West Indies beat Zimbabwe in Final ODI

Darren Bravo’s unbeaten knock of 72 runs, West Indies defeated Zimbabwe in the third and final ODI by five wickets to complete clean sweep.

Kieran Powell contributed 42 at the top of the order while the effort of Natsai M’Shangwe and Tinotenda Mutombodzi, the young wrist-spinners, offered some encouragement for the Zimbabweans ahead of the two Twenty20 Internationals to be played at the weekend in Antigua.

Mutombodzi removed Ramnaresh Sarwan caught-and-bowled with just his third delivery in senior international cricket and also accounted for Powell to a catch at long-on.

There were a few moments of anxiety for the West Indies when the dismissal of Narsingh Deonarine by Hamilton Masakadza was followed by the running out of Kieron Pollard for a duck without facing a ball to leave the home side at 121 for four.

"I just went out there and backed my ability and it was good to be part of another West Indies victory," said Darren Bravo, who acknowledged his role in Pollard's swift demise.

"I want to apologise to Kieron for running him out because I probably deprived the crowd of some entertainment."

Skipper Dwayne Bravo steadied the innings in partnership with his younger brother and it was left to wicketkeeper-batsman Denesh Ramdin to accompany Darren Bravo at the crease when the winning runs were struck, the captain falling to Kyle Jarvis with the result virtually assured.

"This was a special result for us as we want to dedicate it to one our legends of West Indies cricket, Sir Everton Weekes," said the team leader after the match, acknowledging the 88th birthday of one of the West Indies' greatest-ever batsmen.

"I've got to give credit to our opening bowlers, Kemar Roach and Tino Best, because they set the tone for the others to follow."

Disciplined work by the West Indies in the field had restricted Zimbabwe to 211 for nine after the visitors chose to bat first again.

The home side's bowlers kept wayward deliveries to a minimum and reaped the reward against the Zimbabweans, a couple of whom got decent starts but weren't able to carry on as occurred in the second ODI on Sunday when three got past the 50-run mark.

Chamu Chibhabha, strangely demoted to number seven in the order, gave the innings some respectability with an unbeaten 48, his side's top score.

Playing his first match of the series in place of all-rounder Andre Russell, left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul was the most successful of the Caribbean bowlers, claiming three for 40 off his 10-over allotment.

His dismissal of Zimbabwean captain Brendan Taylor (39) proved crucial in stalling the tourists' efforts and the Guyanese player added the wickets of Malcolm Waller and Regis Chakabva to complete a satisfying morning's work.

At the top of the order, Vusi Sibanda promised a substantial innings, but yet again failed to carry on from a good start, falling to fast bowler Tino Best for 41.

"It's not acceptable. We've all played enough cricket and should be batting through as the West Indian guys have done," was Taylor's lament at the failure of the Zimbabwean batsmen, including himself, to play the big innings.

1st Test: India thrash Australia by 8 Wickets to take 1-0 lead

India achieved the target of 50, losing two wickets in the second innings to beat Australia by eight wickets before lunch on the final day of the first cricket Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here Tuesday.

Sachin Tendulkar remained unbeaten on 13, assisted by two big sixes, and Cheteshwar Pujara on 8.

ustralia were all out for 241 in the second innings. Moises Henriques remained unbeaten on 81 and Nathan Lyon (11) was dismissed by left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who finished with three for 72.

Australia, resuming at 232 for nine, added just nine runs before being packed up in 30 minutes.

Clarke says all the honours go to India and he singled out rival captain MS Dhoni for his outstanding 224 in the first innings, the highest score by an India Test captain.

"Dhoni was outstanding," Clarke said.

"I certainly think that innings changed the game from our perspective."

Clarke says Australia has already turned its attention to the second Test in Hyderabad beginning on Saturday.

Dhoni says scoring his double century in Chennai made it extra special.

Dhoni says he went out to the crease with an attacking strategy aimed at putting pressure on the Australian fielders.

"It was important to play some shots so Australia had to spread the field a bit," he said.

The bowling honours went to Indian right-arm off spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who collected 12 wickets for the match.

For Australia, Pattinson had a solid match finishing with six wickets for the match.
