West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Except a 43 from Shai Hope and 36 from Marlon Samuels, no other batsmen could make a substantial contribution against Afghanistan which eventually turned out to be the main reason for their defeat. The Windies will now look to make amends and will bank on the likes of Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis to score the big runs in addition to Hope and Samuels. Jason Holder, Ashley Nurse and Carlos Brathwaite will be the team's biggest hopes with the ball. Skipper Holder is leading from the front with ten wickets in five matches and he looks the most threatening in this West Indian pace attack.

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
They had a rough day with the bat in their last match against Ireland and they will need to come up with a much better performance if they are to challenge the West Indies. Brendan Taylor has been the team's best batsman in the tournament and it will be crucial that he bats well in conjunction with Hamilton Masakadza and Craig Ervine. Zimbabwe will hope for a good bowling display by Sikandar Raza, Graeme Cremer and Blessing Muzarabani. Raza has taken the most wickets for his side and the Windies may not take too many risks against the offspinner.

West Indies vs Zimbabwe Betting Odds
West Indies, despite losing to Afghanistan in their previous outing, begin as the overwhelming favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this Super Sixes match at short odds of 1.36 on Bet365, 1.50 on Betway and 1.40 each on Unibet and Ladbrokes. Zimbabwe are playing at home and they haven't faced defeat in any of the five matches they have played so far in this tournament. However, they are the bookmakers' underdogs at a high price of 3.20 on Bet365, 3 on Unibet, 2.90 on Ladbrokes and 2.62 on Betway.
West Indies vs Zimbabwe Prediction
West Indies, who were going along smoothly with four wins in four games, suffered their first defeat of the tournament at the hands of Afghanistan on Thursday. The loss will serve as a nice warning bell for the Windies that they cannot take their opponents for granted and one can expect them to leave all the complacencies behind when they next face hosts Zimbabwe. The former have an impressive track record against the latter with 35 wins and a tie from 46 ODIs and have lost just once in their past ten face-offs. West Indies therefore have the upper hand here and we predict them to win albeit Zimbabwe's home advantage.
Final Verdict: Back West Indies to beat Zimbabwe at 1.36 on Bet365, 1.50 on Betway and 1.40 each on Unibet and Ladbrokes.
