Yesterday I would have thought so. Today I'm not so sure.

Statistics, at least, still heavily favour the West Indies. Over the last 3 years, Zimbabwe have won 5, lost 27 and had 1 no result in their last 33 ODI matches against the top 8 teams in the world. Two of those wins came against Bangladesh. Their record is equally as dire against teams outside the top 8 with just 3 wins and 7 losses in 10 matches.
Over this same period, against top 8 teams, West Indies have won 16 matches, lost 29 and finished with 2 ties. West Indies record against teams outside of the top 8 is 6 wins and 1 loss, to Ireland at the World Cup.

Going by the recent forms of the two teams, I think this is going to be a closely contested series. These teams are on the fringe of the top 6 of world cricket. Both teams will take the field with something to prove and this will be a series to watch out for.

Going by what [size=2px]happened yesterday,i really doubt if statistics will hold a major role should there be a match up between WI and Zimbabwe[/size]
[/size][size=2px]Track record is good but form too is a a factor right ?[/size]

Why you guys rooting for losers
Re: Can West Indies Beat Zimbabwe? - anandgb - 08-03-2015
Let Zim show more consistency first before asking this question
Re: Can West Indies Beat Zimbabwe? - mapoui - 08-03-2015
I agree.... more consistency is needed by Zim to convince that a change for the better is at hand.
yet I hope deh doh sooprise by being ready to beat such as west indies off little notice
but the trend seems to be Zim going up..west indies down

There are, unquestionably, those of us who continue to believe, who remain prisoners of the time warp mirrored in those ‘glory, glory’ days, still, it seems, unable to come to terms with the reality that the rest of the cricketing world regards us as ‘has-beens.’
