Zimbabwe vs Canada ICC World Cup 2011 live score video, Zim 79 for 2. Ervine and T Taibu have taken their team from a very dangerous position to a position of strength
T Taibu is on a song. He is a man in a hurry to prove that his side is not as bad as other minnows and has played a great inning so far scoring 50 runs off 47 balls and taking his side’s score from seven runs for the loss of two wickets to 76 for the loss of two wickets.
Earlier Chigumbura, the Zimbawean captain won the toss and decided to bat first here in Nagpur. Canadian team was thinking of doing and upset and took two very early wickets. But after two quick wickets, Zimbabwe team has played rather well.
After 16.2 overs team Zimbabwe score was 79 after losing two wickets.
The match between Canada and Zimbabwe is an opportunity for both of them to earn some respectability in the cricket fraternity. Besides, they would be fighting to earn victory points too. That is why before the start of the game captains of both the teams have sounded confident. They want to win this match. But wishing something and doing it is different things.
It would be interesting to see how they manage the show. If we go by the way Zimbabwe played in its opening match one can say that they have the upper hand. However, the war of words has started with Elton Chigumbura saying: "It is a big game for us."
On the other hand Canada’s captain Ashish Bagai has already announced that his team is going to win the match. "We have to win this match as that puts us in the running for the next stage, the quarterfinals.
Zimbabwe and Kenya are going to be the best chance to win." The captain, who is a banker, further added: "Those were our team goals coming into the tournament." But Ashish should know that it is not going to be a cakewalk for his team as Zimbabwe has more experience of playing on a big stage.
With experience players like Heath Streak, Grant Flower and Alastair Campbell on their side, Zimbabwe has an upper hand over them. On the other hand Canada has landed at the WC with new faces. The only recognizable player they have is John Davison.
He is the oldest player of the tournament. Fans still remember his 111 against West Indies in 2003. But in this WC he has not been able to regain his form. It appears that the Zimbabweans would be banking on spinners to register their first win at the tournament.
