WEST INDIES readied themselves for their ICC World Cup qualifying campaign with a convincing 91-run victory over minnows Scotland in their first official warm-up yesterday.
Captain Shai Hope (57) and all-rounder Romario Shepherd (53) struck contrasting half-centuries as West Indies recovered from 45 for four in the 12th over to reach 264 all out in the penultimate over at the Harare Sports Club.
Leg-spinner Yannic Cariah (4-46) and off-spinner Roston Chase (3-43) then wrecked the Scots’ run chase, the innings collapsing to 173 all out in the 34th over.
Brandon McMullen top-scored with 38 from 54 balls with seven fours, while opener, Matthew Cross, struck a fluent 35 from 37 balls with half-dozen fours and a six, but the resistance ended once Cariah and Chase got stuck in.

SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates (CMC) — Alick Athanaze's One-Day International (ODI) debut coincided with West Indies' sweep of the three-match series against United Arab Emirates, and the left-hander said entering a winning setup was a major boost for his confidence.
The 24-year-old struck a hasty 65 from 45 deliveries on Friday, helping West Indies to brush aside the hosts by four wickets in the final ODI, after chasing down a modest 185 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

The 25-year-old comes off two solid outings against the UAE in his return to ODI cricket, and hopes to flourish in Zimbabwe given the opportunity, all while channelling the challenge of the game at the elite level and the experience of over 50 international appearances under his belt.

“It was just about speaking to the right people, getting the right motivation, and also motivating myself.”
