Zimbabwe who were put in to bat by West Indies got off to a solid start with Kellies Ndovlu and Beloved Biza sharing a 46-run stand for the opening wicket.
Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano came in and further added to the opening stand with a 28-ball 25. However, a need to up the run-rate led to Zimbabwe losing their way around the 13th over mark.
Mugeri-Tiripano was run out and West Indies led by Jahzara Claxton triggered a collapse. Zimbabwe went from being 78/1 in the 13th over to finishing with 106/7 in their 20 overs.
The Zimbabwe bowlers had no answer to the Eboni’s onslaught as they barely troubled the West Indies batting line-up who helped their team romp home to a series-clinching victory.
The two teams meet again in the third and final T20I on Wednesday at Harare.
