A bludgeoning innings from Kieron Pollard and career-best figures from Samuel Badree spearheaded West Indies’ 41-run win over Zimbabwe in the second and final Twenty20 International on Sunday.

Responding to the hosts’ total of 158 for seven, the visitors were restricted to 117 for six with only veteran Hamilton Masakadza offering any sort of resistance with an unbeaten 53 off 51 deliveries with six fours.

However, the damage was already done with Badree making amends for his comparatively ordinary effort in the first match the previous day, dismissing the top three in the Zimbabwean order to finish with three for 17.

With their second consecutive comprehensive win – after Saturday’s eight-wicket triumph – the world champions took the series 2-0 following a 3-0 whitewash of the Zimbabweans in the one-day matches in Grenada.

“We’ve got good depth in our batting and Pollard played the right sort of innings for us today,” said Sammy.“Lendl Simmons (41) also set us up well at the top and that’s the sort of contribution all the way down that we want to see.”Both sides now turn their attention to the Test matches, the first of two beginning March 12 in Barbados.
