Edwards, Brathwaite propel Windies A to handsome win
ST GEORGE’S, Grenada (CMC) — Kirk Edwards and Kraigg Brathwaite both stroked half-centuries as West Indies A carved out a handsome six-wicket victory over Zimbabwe on the final day of their four-day, first-class match yesterday.
Edwards hammered an entertaining, unbeaten 72, while Brathwaite cracked 62 at the top of the order to propel the hosts to their target of 257 for four at the Queen’s Park Stadium.
Earlier, Zimbabwe added just 29 runs after resuming at their overnight 322 for seven, with fast bowlers Shannon Gabriel (2-60) and Nelon Pascal (2-67) accounting for the last three wickets to fall.
West Indies A will now clash with Zimbabwe in two Twenty20 matches on Thursday and Saturday.
