Match 44 of the World Cup T20 takes place in Wankhede on Monday the 23rd of February between Zimbabwe and the West Indies. We look at the match from a betting angle and suggest a few bets for consideration.
Super Eights Format
With the group stage concluded, the top two teams from each of the four groups move into the Super Eights where you have four teams in each of the two groups. Each team will play three matches and the top two teams from each group will qualify for the semi-finals.
Zimbabwe’ s Road to the Super Eights
Zimbabwe finished the group stage unbeaten to top Group B.
Their first match was against Oman where Zimbabwe had a comfortable win by 8 wickets with 39 balls remaining. Zimbabwe’s next match was a historic victory over Australia where they won by 23 runs. Their 3rd match against Ireland was abandoned without a ball been bowled due to persistent rain.
Their 4th and final match was against Sri Lanka who posted 178/7 and Zimbabwe chased it down for a 6-wicket win with 3 balls remaining. Zimbabwe captain, Sikander Raza, was Player of the Match with his quick 45 off 26 balls which included 2 fours and 4 sixes.

Zimbabwe 3.50
West Indies 1.31
SUGGESTED BETS:
Sikander Raza top Zimbabwe bowler at 4.25
Raza has yet to fire with the ball in this tournament and he is a player I took serious notice of in the SA20 league in January. I think it is a matter of time before he gets a cluster of wickets.
Shai Hope Match Top Bat at 5.25
Hope has been in excellent form and has scored 155 runs at an average of just over 50. This West Indies batting lineup is packed with talent but Hope stands out for his consistency and his ability to bat deep.
