WI v Zim 2nd Test : Day 5

Sunday, November 16 2003

The West Indies completed what was ultimately a comfortable win over Zimbabwe today in the second Test between the two teams. Resuming on 90/9, needing 233 for victory, Zimbabwe progressed to 104 all out to be defeated by 128 runs.

Heath Streak resumed on 19 not out and decided to play normally, farming the strike from his partner Mahwire whenever possible. He moved on to 33 before the innings ended, when Mahwire was bowled by an angled delivery from Dillon.

Dillon ended with 2/17, to accompany the good work done by Collymore (2/29), Hinds (2/20) and Banks (3/35) yesterday. Brian Lara was named Man of the Match and the West Indies won the series by a 1-0 margin.
