ST GEORGE'S, Grenada (CMC):

Opener Johnson Charles struck his second consecutive one-day international hundred while Darren Bravo notched his first ever, as West Indies brushed aside a ragged Zimbabwe by 156 runs in the opening one-dayer here yesterday.

The right-handed Charles top scored with a pugnacious 130 and was joined by the elegant Bravo who reached three figures off the last ball of the innings to finish with exactly 100 not out at the National Stadium, allowing the Windies to plunder 337 for four from their 50 overs - their fourth-highest ODI total.
