West Indies vs. Zimbabwe T20 World Cup Predictions, Odds, & Best Bets

Mumbai is the venue as West Indies meet Zimbabwe in the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup on Monday. Zimbabwe defied the cricket betting odds to reach this stage of the tournament and are unsurprisingly heavy underdogs at the BetMGM online sportsbook for this matchup. 

West Indies won all four of their group stage matches to book their place in the second phase of the World Cup. They are two-time winners of this tournament, but haven’t reached the semi-final of a major event since 2016.

West Indies vs. Zimbabwe Predictions

I predict West Indies will defeat Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup on Monday. 

West Indies’ spin bowlers have enjoyed a good tournament so far, and their batting lineup has been destructive. 

West Indies vs. Zimbabwe Best Bets

Zimbabwe will take immense confidence from their win over Sri Lanka on Thursday. Blessing Muzarabani (+260 to be Zimbabwe’s top bowler) was once again among the wickets, and all of the top four delivered significant contributions.

Posting a score of 182 is a positive step for this batting order. Zimbabwe’s previous successes has primarily been built on their bowling attack, which has controlled the run rate and taken wickets at regular intervals.

The Wankhede is a familiar venue for West Indies, who have already won two matches at this venue during this World Cup. Jason Holder’s four wickets against Nepal were something of an anomaly, with spinners proving the most effective in Mumbai. I predict Gudakesh Motie, who dismissed Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, and Harry Brook in the win over England, will be their top bowler at +333. 

It’ll be interesting to see how West Indies fare if Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer are dismissed cheaply. Their batting lineup has depended on that pair in this World Cup.
