Windies panic against Zimbabwe, says Radford

Tue, Nov 22, '16

West Indies seemed en route to an uncomplicated victory in pursuit of 258 in their second game of the tournament, when they reached 220 for two in the 45th over.

However, they lost six wickets for 37 runs in the space of 32 balls—including three wickets in the last over with four runs required – as Zimbabwe forced their way back into the contest to earn a share of the points.

“We needed 60 runs with eight wickets in hand at one stage and nine times out of ten you’d expect the batting side to do that,” Radford said.

“I think a little bit of panic set in which is easy when you’re away from home and there’s a noisy crowd. To be fair, they (Zimbabwe) actually bowled well and took the pace off on what was a slow-ish wicket.”
