(Reuters) - All-rounder Jason Holder said West Indies must improve in all departments of their game in a must-win contest against Zimbabwe on Wednesday if they are to get their T20 World Cup campaign back on track following their stunning defeat by Scotland.
Gutted after their shock loss to Scotland, West Indies coach Phil Simmons on Monday urged his boys to wake up and pick up the pieces as they gear up for a must-win challenge against Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup. Only four of their batters reached double digits as it was an abject batting surrender by the Nicholas Pooran-led side who folded for 118 in 18.3 overs, chasing Scotland's 161. "Our batting definitely was a bit unprofessional. We need to wake up and start being as professional as we can be when we are batting," Simmons said in the post-match media conference here.

Returning paceman Blessing Muzarabani took three wickets as Zimbabwe restricted Ireland to 143-9.

(Reuters) -Twice winners West Indies crashed to a shocking 42-run defeat by Scotland in their T20 World Cup opener in Hobart on Monday, the second major upset inside two days at the global showpiece tournament.
The Caribbean side, who won the event in 2012 and 2016, were bundled out for 118 chasing 161 to beat the Scots a day after former champions Sri Lanka lost their Group A opener to Namibia. Left-arm spinner Mark Watt, who took 3-12, and off-spinner Michael Leask, with figures of 2-15, sealed victory for the associate team, who earlier rode opener George Munsey's unbeaten 66 to post 160-5 in the Group B match.
