West Indies are favorites to win
West Indies take on Zimbabwe at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart on Wednesday evening in Match 6 of the 2022 T20 World Cup. West Indies suffered a shock defeat by 42 runs to Scotland on Monday. Zimbabwe got off to a winning start by beating Ireland by 31 runs in their opening fixture. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 19:00 local time in Tasmania.
West Indies have been an inconsistent side in this format over the last 12 months. If their top order batters can produce a big score then they will be very competitive.
Zimbabwe are in excellent form in IT20s but have not tested themselves against the better teams for a couple of years. This match will be a good indicator of how good they have become.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, Star Network, Fox Sports, ESPN and PTV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sky Go and Disney+ Hotstar
Both captains chose to field first in Monday’s games at this venue in this pool. It would be a big surprise if both skippers did not elect to bowl first in this match.
It is a good surface in Hobart and a total of around 170 is par. At the same time, there is something for the pace and spin bowlers on this pitch.
Warm afternoon sunshine will give way to clear skies on Wednesday evening with the temperature dropping from 17 degrees to 13.

Head Coach Phil Simmons was very annoyed and disappointed with his batters after their defeat to Scotland on Monday in T20 World Cup 2022. Although there will be calls to make changes to the side, we expect Simmons to select the same XI and give them the opportunity to get the team’s campaign back on track.
West Indies have won only one of their last nine IT20s with that victory coming over New Zealand when they had already lost the series.

Kyle Mayers, Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran (c) (wk), Shamarh Brooks, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Odean Smith, Obed McCoy
The Zimbabwe XI picks itself due to their run of successful results and they will not make changes unless there are injuries in the team. They have a very experienced and talented middle order who can cause any team problems when they are in form.
Zimbabwe are making winning a habit and have won eight of their last nine games in this format.
Regis Chakabva (wk), Craig Ervine (c), Wesley Madhevere, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Tendai Chatara, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani
The sides have met in only three IT20s since their first clash in February 2010 when Zimbabwe won in Port of Spain. West Indies have won the last two matches, both in March 2013.

In spite of West Indies losing to Scotland and Zimbabwe beating Ireland in their opening matches, the bookies have West Indies as strong favourites.

This should be an excellent contest with Zimbabwe's confidence very high after recent results and West Indies determined to stay in the tournament. It could be decided by one big individual innings.
Evin Lewis, Kyle Mayers and Brandon King are our batting recommendations for West Indies. King has scored four of his five IT20 half-centuries in 2022.
We are backing Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams with the bat for Zimbabwe. Williams has hit nine fifties in this format.
We have selected Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy and Jason Holder as our bowling picks for West Indies. McCoy has format best figures of 6-17.
Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava and Tendai Chatara are our tips with the ball for Zimbabwe. Chatara took 2-22 against Ireland on Monday evening at this venue.
West Indies put in one of their worst performances ever in a T20 World Cup on Monday and we expect them to produce something a lot more professional in this game. Zimbabwe will push them all the way but we predict that West Indies will win this match.
