West Indies commanded top spot in Group C of the Under-19 World Cup, with another collective bowling performance setting up their third victory in three matches. Their fast bowlers struck early and there was no easing of pressure from the spinners either, as Zimbabwe were limited to a below-par total on a small ground at Endeavour Park

The West Indian chase, however, did not begin smoothly - they lost two wickets in the third over - but Kraigg Brathwaite stayed firm at his end to see the chase through. The only Test batsman in the tournament, Brathwaite was undefeated on 70 when the target was achieved in the 36th over. West Indies will now face New Zealand in the quarter-finals.
