West Indies and Zimbabwe have demonstrated an ability to bounce back after a poor start in the tournament. West Indies started off their 2015 WC campaign with a four-wicket loss to Ireland at Nelson, but bounced back in spectacular style by defeating Pakistan by 150 runs, their best win against the team from sub-continent in ODIs in terms of runs. On the other hand, Zimbabwe let South Africa off the hook at Hamilton and they were punished by David Miller and JP Duminy, who put on a world record fifth wicket stand of 256. They shook off the defeat and chased down 286 against a spirited UAE side in Nelson. Heading into 15th match of the tournament on Tuesday at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, both teams look even on paper due to their inconsistency but the pressure will be more on Zimbabwe as they aim to put up a better show against big teams.

West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first. They made two changes with Nikita Miller and Jonathan Carter coming back into the side in place of Darren Bravo and Suleimann Benn coming into the side. Zimbabwe made one change, bringing in Stuart Matsikenyeri for Solomon Mire.

There is an 80% chance of rain during the game and we could well be seeing the D/L method come into play.

Chris Gayle overcame his rather nervous start to give glimpses of his old self with some lusty blows. Marlon Samuels, too, saw off early jitters to settle into his role. The experienced duo looked added an unbeaten 50-run stand and looked set to carry on to make bigger contributions.
