BULAWAYO – West Indies bowlers, led by leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo, got a flattering boost of confidence in their three-day cricket tour match against Zimbabwe “A” yesterday.
Bishoo was the most successful bowler with 3-28 from 8.1 overs, but Shannon Gabriel, Miguel Cummins and Raymond Reifer all collected cheap wickets, as the Windies dismissed the home team for 143 to gain a first innings lead of 193 on the second day of three-day match at the Bulawayo Athletic Club.
The visitors reached 74 for one in their second innings at the close for an overall lead of 217 in their only practice match before the first Test of the two-match series against Zimbabwe.
Opener Kraigg Brathwaite was bowled in the second over for two, but Kieran Powell, not out on 34, and Kyle Hope, not out on 35, tried to ease concerns about their form and place in the side, batting through another 18 overs before stumps were drawn. (CMC)
